Just back from my first proper, in person bit of kidney donation business. Was up at Guy’s Hospital this morning pissing in cups, giving blood and being told I’m average height (fair enough), not fat (good to know) and my BMI is decent. Also sitting down and talking to the […]
In two minds over whether to write about this really, it’s of interest to me but like most things people do in life – it’s probably of zero interest to anyone else. Still, as an exercise in self reflection it is interesting to me at least so why not? Anyway, […]
I’ve gone and got myself a tattoo gun. It’s been a thought on my mind for a long time, partly because I’m fairly well covered in the things myself and I’m a big fan of the medium but also because, every now and then, someone stops me out in the […]
It’s a slow process but gradually adding more and more prints to this site, as well as getting all the other (myriad) brands I’m running going. As things stand you can find the London stuff here, my main brand of the moment, Laika57, here and the Barney Farmer/Lee Healey + […]

Well it’s taken a while to get here and there’s a long way left to go but as of now Laika57 Clothing officially exists! This is the big change I’ve been building up to over the last month or so, the one that introduces a load of new designs, changes […]
… it’s a new day, it’s a new site for meeeeee. And I feel alright, I suppose. A week or two ago I announced that DylanOrchard.com as was would be winding down. The clothes and design side of things was going to shift to a new label (it will) and […]
Well, it’s taken 6 years to get here but here we are. Laikanist Times Book Two is finished and available for purchase. Book one was my first real attempt to actually get my writing out there. Written in a fug on one of my first trips to the United States […]
