Cosplayer of the Week: Wonder Kat
I'll cut to the chase here, I'm pretty sure Wonder Kat is a real life Wonder Woman. Diana Prince in disguise or something. Don't go thinking she's a one trick pony though, Wonder Kat has a repertoire far larger than one DC hero, as you will see.

Who or what first inspired you to start cosplaying?

My friend went to a con and said "Katya, you'll love it, it's so you!". That and watching cosplay music videos made it seem so fun, I had to see what it was all about and felt immediate attraction to it, like I belonged.
What was your first cosplay? How does it compare to some of your more recent work?
It was Daenerys Targaryen in her Dothraki outfit. I didn't know how to sew so it was made right before the con and held together with safety pins! Obviously my skills have grown, it definitely doesn't come close to the armour I do now.

On the subject, what has been your most complicated costume so far?
Rita Repulsa was a huge challenge, it has so many details and is one of my most accurate ones. Also my newest Harley Quinn variant is some of my best work to date. Both were a long process and took a lot of dedication and procrastination!

Do you have a dream cosplay you'd like to work towards one day? Can you use anything you've learned from Rita or Harley to help?
I make a lot of my dream cosplays but definitely something crazy and huge. Armour with lights, smoke effects, just go all out! That would be awesome. Captain Jack Sparrow is my all time aim though. Every cosplay I do I learn more and more and think "well, if I can do this, then what else can I do?". I always try to push myself.
If you could give any advice to someone new to the world of cosplay, what would it be?
You never know what you're capable of until you do it. Try new materials, go out of your comfort zone, be passionate, try new things and most of all, don't forget to enjoy it. Con is supposed to be fun at the end of the day. Also, heat guns are hotter than the surface of the sun, I've been burned multiple times so be careful!
Past Cosplayer of the Week
Cosplayer of the Week: Corvidae Cosplay Emporium
Hailing from North East England, Corvidae Cosplay Emporium is made up of a fearsome duo of foamsmiths and sewing masters. They're no strangers to guesting and judging at cons all over the UK, and looking at the calibre of their work, it's not hard to see why! We caught up with Olivia to talk more about their costumes. Orochi and NobushiPhoto by Dr Whero Photography Age: 24 Location: Thornton Favourite food: pork belly ramen Who or what first inspired you to start cosplaying? I've always loved costumes but games were and are the most inspirational thing for me. The same goes for Ryan, the other cosplayer that makes up Corvidae Cosplay Emporium – we're both massively inspired by games and making characters come to life. Taniks the ScarredPhoto by Dr Whero Photography What was your first costume? How does it compare to some of your more recent work? Our first costumes were when we were very little – our families have always been into us making and wearing costumes. Mine was a big foam Flounder when I was about 5! Ryan used to have kid's armour that he would take on camping holidays to castles and he would run around pretending to be a knight! But our first cosplays were when the first images for Assassin's Creed Syndicate came out; we knew it would be Victorian England so we made steampunk Assassins. In comparison to recent work they were good but very sewing based and amateur-ish. Ryan's good at sewing as he used to work at a tailors, but since then I have completed my degree in costuming so all our patterns are made from scratch from our own basic clothing blocks and then adapted into what we want. We also are a lot better at foam work and use more technical things such as a 3D printer, airbrush, we resin cast and use LEDs in our cosplays too. They're a lot more advanced these days! Monster Hunter World huntersFeaturing Kamui Cosplay What would you say has been your most complex costume so far? Probably the Monster Hunter World costumes that we won the Cosplay Championships at London Film and Comic Con in last year. They were complex base patterns, the armour was mental and we had to use a lot of different types of foam with different densities and thicknesses to achieve the final result. We used foam clay too, which was the first time we had worked with it. There was LEDs that had to change colour, weapons that are taller than me (and were a pain to get on and off the underground with!!!) and we had props to go on stage with to make our performance more interactive. We made the 3D files and printed numerous sections of the build, which was great fun as it was the first time we had utilised the 3D printer for complex designs, and we had about 5 weeks to make the costumes around working… safe to say we didn't sleep for 4 days before the competition. I've never been so tired and pumped in my life! The costumes still aren't done either – there's lot we want to finalise or aspects that need changing (the Championship was the first time we both wore our costumes so there's a bunch of stuff that can be reworked to make them better) but the entire thing took so much out of us, those costumes are packed away and we'll sort them out when I can cope with looking at them again! Metro StalkerPhoto by Dr Whero Photography Do you have dream costumes? Can you use anything you learned while making your Monster Hunter outfits to help? For me it would be to replicate a Kaiju from Pacific Rim, it's my all time favourite film and I would absolutely love to have the skills to do a good job with it. It's an end goal though, it's nothing like anything we've done before and I need to learn more about old school character methods from filming to attack that bad boy with the vigour that it deserves! Ryan says his dream cosplay would be Predator, either original or elder, because of the cape! I think realistically he poses the skills required to make it, but again it's a case of wanting to master different techniques so we can both really nail the costumes and do the original inspiration proud! What's your favourite part of the costume making process? We both love working with foam – making a 2D design into a 3D detailed reality, that's an amazing feeling. The figuring out of how to put the costume together and how everything will work from a technical perspective is always good fun, especially considering how we need all our costumes to be not just aesthetically correct but also correct and fitting to the settings you'd find them in (like fabric choices for a Samurai costume or the cut and sewing techniques on a sci-fi piece) and, most importantly for us, that we have to perform in them – performance and being the character is the most important aspect in our eyes, so the costumes must be designed to withstand this. Then there's obviously the final piece, when you're wearing it and people respond to you as though you're the character – I absolutely live for that narrative that people create with you in costume.

Cosplayer of the Week: Bacon, Bitches & Cosplay
I believe I discovered Bacon, Bitches & Cosplay by accident while looking up something completely unrelated, but her name made me chuckle so I thought I'd check her out; I'm glad I did! This German cosplay is a master mermaid, a brilliant seamstress and a dab hand at creepy makeup. Bacon, Bitches & Cosplay is a great all-rounder. Twi'lek Age: 25 Location: Bavaria Favourite food: bacon, of course! ValkyriePhoto by BildRausch Who or what first inspired you to start cosplaying? That's a tough question. I think it was a Marvel-related fan group on Facebook that I'm part of. I met a few members in person and we had the idea of a Marvel cosplay group, which worked out great! After a meet at the Leipzig Bookfair, we founded our cosplay group, "Young Avengers Europe" and we still cosplay together now. In the beginning, I only made Marvel cosplays, but now I have many fandoms. FaunPhoto by Eschnapur Photography What would you say is your most complex costume so far? I don't think I have very complicated costumes, I'm currently working on a post-apocalyptic outfit which is a lot of work, but it isn't finished yet. I think my most complex is Medusa from Inhumans because I made everything except the shoes. I even braided 6 metres of wire in the hair! MedusaPhoto by BildRausch What's your favourite part of the costume making process? The best part for me is wearing the costume, either at a con or on a photoshoot. I have so much fun really playing the character. When wearing costumes at a con, in German we would say "berufsrisiko". You have to watch out that you're healthy, hydrated, etc. If my feet hurt, I take off my shoes. If my head hurts, I pull off my wig. It's so simple and I don't care what other people say about it! Do you have any advice for new cosplayers? Just do it! If you fail, so what? Cosplay is about having fun, keep going until you're happy.

Cosplayer of the Week: Nirel Cosplay
Despite being a relatively new cosplayer in the grand scheme of things, Nirel Cosplay blew me away with the sheer quality of their costumes from the moment I discovered them. You want anime cuteness? Gaming badassery? The Dark Lord himself? Don't worry, Nirel's got you. SamaraPhoto by Steeve Li Photography Age: 22 Location: Paris Favourite food: croziflette (a French dish based on Reblochon and pasta) Paladin T21Photo by Marc O Carion Moc Who or what first inspired you to start cosplaying? It was Shoko and Jerome Cosplay. In 2013 I went to my very first Japan Expo in Paris. I already knew what cosplay was, so I wanted to watch the cosplay contests, especially the ECG (European Cosplay Gathering) finals. There they were with their awesome Monster Hunter cosplay, they were amazing on stage, I had tears in my eyes! They won the contest. Two years after, I finally started to cosplay, and every day I keep thinking about their performance, and it motivates me a lot. Maybe one day I'll be able to make cosplays as great as they do! LokiPhoto by DriStudio Photography What was your first cosplay? It was "Le Nain" from "Le Donjon de Naheulbeuk", a French MP3 saga! I made it with really cheap green foam, and as it's a dwarf I had to make a beard, so I bought a Santa Claus beard and orange hairspray, mixed them together and tada! My chainmail was just a grey fabric, so it was really cheap dwarf. What would you say has been your most complex costume so far? As I like to improve my skills with every costume, they're all complex in their own way, but I think the one that introduced me to the most different techniques is Gimli. I had to make real chainmail, and a beard! I had to work with leather, armour, fabric, and make up! GimliPhoto by Christian Poulet What's your favourite part of the costume making process? I think it's painting, I'm a perfectionist on that. I need to have the right shade with the right shadows and lighting so sometimes I can use five different shades of the same colour on just one armour piece! Do you have any advice for new cosplayers? Keep trying! Keep trying new techniques and challenging yourself, and never forget to have fun. NightcrawlerPhoto by Steeve Li Photography Like this:Like Loading...... Read more...
Cosplayer of the Week: Dabidal Cosplay
This French cosplayer is undoubtledly a master of armour, particularly using foam. The amount of detail in the costumes that Dabidal Cosplay makes is insane, and you can completely understand why he's won awards for his work! Sacrieur OugahPhoto by R.M. Photography Age: 23 Location: Bordeaux, France Favourite food: lasagne Who or what first inspired you to start cosplaying? I played a lot of video games and have always loved this universe. One day, me and my friends decided to go to Japan Expo in Paris, I made a cosplay for the occasion, and voila! My first cosplay was an OC inspired by Vi from League of Legends. I made it from yoga mats and hot glue with a horrible wig, but I love this costume because I met so many people through it. ThreshPhoto by Draksmoon What would you say is your most complex costume? My last project – Thresh Blood Moon from League of Legends! It was really hard to hide my shape and look like a ghost. The wig was a huge challenge, I made a foam wig with hair on it to get the right shape. Thresh is my favourite cosplay. ShanksPhoto by Grey Man Photo Do you have a dream cosplay? Can you use anything you've learned from making Thresh to help you? I don't actually have a dream cosplay, I have huge projects but none of them are my dream. Each project is different and each time I'm trying to learn more techniques or work more accurately. My current project is Turalyon from World of Warcraft. The "big new" part of this is using Arduino to control all of the lights in the costume, it's super hard! Sir Percedal of SadlygrovePhoto by Elkashir-san What's your favourite part of the costume making process? I think it's crafting and painting parts. I hate sanding though, it's always the longest part every time. If you could go back in time and give newbie Dabidal any advice, what would it be? If I could go back in time and give lil' Dabi a bit of advice, it would be "go back to sanding you lazy boy!" I think I'd tell myself never to give up and always make bigger and harder costumes, but above all, cosplay for you, not for others. TetraPhoto by Nishimi pictures Like this:Like Loading......

Cosplayer of the Week: Redwood Creations
As well as being a keen cosplayer, Redwood Creations is also a brilliant illustrator and graphic designer, and the attention to detail from those skills transfers into his cosplays seamlessly. Redwood has a plethora of excellent comic cosplays at his disposal, along with a healthy sprinkling from other easily recognisable games and films – truly something for everyone! Captain AmericaPhoto by Cat&Crown Artwork Age: 27 Location: Wales Favourite food: burritos How long have you been cosplaying for? What first inspired you to start? About 9 years. I went to a costume party and went a bit over the top on the costume! From there I just sort of caught the cosplay bug. Nathan DrakePhoto by Carlos Adama Photography What's your favourite part of the costume making process? It's probably the whole process of spending days and weeks gathering up all the reference images, because along the way you pick up details you missed because of lighting, angles, etc. It can be a huge pain sometimes, but finding new images that show a different part of the costume is really interesting for me, because you see cool little details you would've otherwise missed. When it comes to putting on the finished product in the end, it makes it all worth it because you think "wow, I am that character!" Ant-Man and The Wasp featuring Pixie StyxxPhoto by Cat&Crown Artwork What was your first cosplay? How does it compare to some of your more recent work? My first cosplay was Scarlet Spider-Man. It was something I cobbled together with barely any knowledge of the correct stuff to use. It was a bad red spandex suit with some lenses I super glued to the face that were made out of white mesh and cardboard – I couldn't see a thing! Compared to my most recent stuff, I've learned the value of learning from others and watching tutorials (like weathering and what things to use). Also I learned about commissioning things that were way out of my skill set from other people, like a silicon mask I got for my Martian Manhunter cosplay, body suits, etc. My recent stuff is miles better because I take more time planning everything out, what needs doing and what I need to commission from who, instead of slapping it all together in five minutes. Planning is key! Martian ManhunterPhoto by Cat&Crown Artwork What has been your most complex costume to date? I'd say probably the one I'm currently working on, Shazam from the new movie. It involves a screen printed body suit with all this detail on, which took a good while to hunt down someone who could make that for me. It has a lot of lighting in the suit, which is a first for me. I've never touched electronics before so I had to figure out where the wiring and battery packs go as well as all the other bits like the symbol and gauntlets. It's been tricky trying to find anyone that makes any of it because there's not much to go on besides a few trailers and posters. Do you have a dream cosplay you'd like to do one day? That would have to be the Hal Jordan version of Green Lantern with a tonne of lights and some light up constructs. I've put it off for years because it's a favourite character of mine and I don't want to mess it up. If you could go back in time and give newbie Redwood any advice, what would it be? Take your time, plan things out and don't be afraid to ask for help. Most people are helpful and are more than happy to lend a hand.

Cosplayer of the Week: Aurore Cosplay
Gamer, game developer and all round badass Aurore Cosplay is our latest feature. Aurore is a particularly fantastic cosplayer to follow if you like knowing exactly how someone put something together, her page is a treasure trove of WIP (that's "work in progress" to you and me) shots and tutorials, alongside incredible shots of the finished results. Lara CroftPhoto by Paul Beard Photography Age: 30 Location: UK Favourite food: ramen QuietPhoto by ACE A.M.P Photography Who or what first inspired you to start cosplaying? I didn't really know what cosplay was until friends from university introduced me to the concept. I went to my first convention with them and saw it for the first time in 2010. It seemed like so much fun to make costumes and dress up that I decided that the next convention I went to, I would cosplay. Monster Hunter ArmourPhoto by Paul Beard Photography What has been your most complex costume to date? Probably my Monster Hunter armour. It was the biggest costume I made and it was so complex because the skirt and leg armour was all articulated. Do you have a dream cosplay you'd like to make one day? I'd say Sarah Palmer from the Halo series. It would actually take a mix of everything I've learned about making armour to make this. KassandraPhoto by Will Goldstone If you could go back in time and give newbie Aurore any advice, what would it be? Be selective about crafting materials for armour. You get the best results if you use a mix throughout a costume rather than just dedicating to one. KaitPhoto by Zero Effort Cosplay Like this:Like Loading...... Read more...

Cosplayer of the Week: Wyrdsister Creative
I've been following Wyrdsister Creative for some time now, and I'm constantly so impressed with her skill level! Even when working with materials completely new to her, Wyrdsister still manages to churn out professional level costumes every time. Keep reading to see some of her badass creations. Angua von UberwaldPhoto by Robert John Parker – Photographer Age: 44 Location: Birmingham Favourite food: sushi and ramen How did you first discover the world of cosplay? I've been going to conventions and events since the early 90s, but the idea of costuming didn't come to me until I saw The Lord of the Rings. I was looking to find a creative outlet and stumbled on a site by an American costumer called jedielfqueen. She inspired me to make my first costume a third age Elven archer from the second movie in the trilogy. EowynPhoto by Andrei Guiamoy Photography What would you say has been your most complex costume to date? I've never really gone for simple, but Eowyn probably uses more different techniques than any of my other costumes, although Hela's headdress was a challenge. Eowyn didn't want to be left out of the war, so she disguised herself as a Rohan warrior to go into battle. The costume is as accurate as I could make it. I had to learn leather working, leather tooling and there's metal work and a full tailored steel maille hauberk which took about 2 months to complete. I sculpted and cast the sword, which isn't my best work, but it was my second costume. I was fortunate enough to meet Richard Taylor (WETA) who worked on the films. He commented that the costume could have "walked off set" and it's one of my proudest moments as a costumer. LokiPhoto by Gordon Fraser Do you have a dream costume you'd like to work towards one day? I have a few, and the list always changes. Avengers Loki is probably one of those. All that leather working will come in handy for that one! What's your favourite part of the costume making process? That's a difficult one. I do like the research aspect. From figuring out how the costume is constructed, sourcing and identifying the fabrics, materials, paints and patterning it all. I'd say it's the most taxing aspect but it's so satisfying when it all clicks in place and you see how it's all going to come together. Dr Mrs The MonarchPhoto by Darren Rowley Photography If you could give anyone new to the world of cosplay any advice, what would it be? Enjoy yourself, have fun, don't stress about it. Cosplay should be fun, no matter your skill level. We all started somewhere. Make it, buy it, wear it, enjoy it! HelaPhoto by Jon Fisher Photography Like this:Like Loading...... Read more...
Cosplayer of the Week: Kingswood Cosplay
I like the versatility that Kingswood Cosplay brings to the table. From big poofy dresses to supervillains to things like literally look like they've crawled out from underneath a rock (in a good way!), Kingswood has it all. I'm a big fan of her version of Arya Stark, check out our interview and photos with her to see if you agree. AnnaPhoto by DC Photo Age: 23 Location: Hampshire Favourite food: chocolate Who or what first inspired you to start cosplaying? I guess I've always wanted to try it but it was a friend from university who finally gave me the push by taking me to my first Comic Con. It was MCM October 2013, I went for the Sunday if I remember correctly and I did my first ever cosplay! I went as Peggy Carter from Captain America using an old Halloween costume that I tweaked a little to try and make it look a bit better, and attempted to curl my hair. I went to the Marvel meet and everyone there was so kind and lovely even though I didn't look nearly as good as they did, and feeling so welcomed by them all inspired me to keep going and make my own costume from scratch the May after, and I guess I've never stopped since! Arya StarkPhoto by Petits Pois Photography You've come a long way since then, but what would you say has been your most complex costume so far? I keep trying to push myself to make things that are bigger and better each time! I think the most complex so far is probably Bootstrap Bill, I made everything on him from scratch and making all the prosthetics was a big learning curve for me as I hadn't really done that before, along with working out how to attach all the sea creatures to him, weathering the costume and trying to make him look as realistic as possible. Bootstrap BillPhoto by Prince Sircastic Photography Do you have a dream cosplay? Can you use anything you learned while making Bootstrap Bill to help? I have so many dream cosplays, but I'd love to do something like The Hound from Game of Thrones that would use what I learnt prosthetics wise, like how to mould and paint latex, and knowing some basic weathering techniques would help with his armour too! What's your favourite part of the costume making process? My favourite part is probably the first time you get to have a wearable garment. Sewing is my passion and I love manipulating the fabric to see what I can get it to do, but there's always something exciting about when you get to try on something for the first time and get to see how it fits – it's always special. I like to make things that tend to be weirdly shaped so seeing that actually fit always feels like a triumph! Sansa StarkPhoto by Cosplay Choreography If you could go back in time and give newbie Kingswood any advice, what would it be? If I could give her any advice it would be that there is a tutorial out there for everything, you just have to look for them, and to not be afraid of making mistakes. It's how you learn, not everything has to be perfect from the outset and it's okay to be proud of something, even if it's not perfect, if you've worked hard or tackled something that was difficult for you!

Cosplayer of the Week: Thestarlightfairy Cosplay
Thestarlightfairy Cosplay is a true sewing master, there's no sugar coating that. You could argue that being a hotshot with fabric is nothing new, plenty of cosplayers can wrap their sewing machine around their little finger. The craziest thing about Thestarlightfairy is that 90% of her work is hand sewn. Yes, you read that right, but I'd forgive you for not believing it when you see the incredible caliber of her work. Eiko Carol Photo by CatBerry Photography Age: 27 Location: Cheshire Favourite food: garlic bread or broccoli Who or what first inspired you to start cosplaying? When I went to my first comic con about 12 years ago, I was just blown away by all the amazing costumes people had, and I wanted to be able to inspire people too. Even now I'm constantly inspired by what people are able to create, it seems to be that no character design is out of a cosplayer's reach! Agitha Photo by Renegade Revolution What would you say has been your most challenging costume to date? Agitha! There are so many elements to her, and I massively underestimated how long I would need to make her outfit (I learned the hard way that con-crunch is never the answer, haha!) There are a few things I'd like to sort out but I learned a lot from making her, and she's ended up being one of my favourite costumes. Agitha made me use the skills I've gained over the years in different ways. A close second is Madoka, solely because of the mad undertaking that petticoat ended up being. I'd say never again, but I actually enjoyed making that ruffle monster! Madoka Kaname Photo by Beth Dooner Photography Do you have a dream cosplay you'd like to work towards one day? Can you use anything you learned while making Agitha or Madoka to help you? My current dream cosplay is Glinda the Good from the Wizard of Oz (or her Wicked dress). I think what I've learned from Madoka will definitely help with Glinda, especially achieving that level of poof! The things I learned about Worbla and what shiny paints do and don't work on it while making Agitha will hopefully help with the crown and wand. Giselle Photo by Emzone Photography What would you say is your favourite part of the costume making process? I think my favourite parts of the cosplay process are the planning (like where you fall in design-love and start working out how you'll do which element), and that moment you put the whole costume on together with the wig and make-up and there's that wonderful thrill of "I made this from a pile of fabric and stuff". If a costume has embroidery, that's my other favourite bit. If you could give someone new to the world of cosplay any advice, what would it be? My advice would be to cosplay what you love! Cosplay is all about showing how much you like a character and/or a design by bringing it to life, so you'll have much more fun doing things you enjoy!

Nevada bareback rider Trenten Montero excels at first NFR
Trenten Montero, a 27-year-old from Winnemucca, finished second in the third go-round of the National Finals Rodeo on Saturday at the Thomas & Mack Center after winning Friday's go-round.

Montero received a score of 90.5 to win the round. (K.M. Cannon/Las Vegas Review-Journal) @KMCannonPhoto
Bareback rider Trenten Montero used to sit on random objects as a child inside his family's ranch north of Winnemucca, pretending they were a bucking animal. Sometimes they were imaginary horses. Sometimes imaginary bulls.
Preparatory visualization, nonetheless, for the National Finals Rodeo.
"I was watching bull riding tapes and bronc riding tapes when I was in diapers," he said. "It's just something that I always wanted to do."
Montero, 27, ventured from his Northern Nevada town of 7,788 to Las Vegas to compete in the NFR at the Thomas & Mack Center for the first time since turning professional in 2011. He finished second in the third go-round Saturday night with a score of 89 after winning Friday with 90.5.
"There's not even words to describe it right now," Montero said. "Just to be labeled one of the top bareback riders in the world is just an incredible honor. … Being able to (win a round) just more than anything proves to myself that I do belong here. It's just a crazy experience for me."
Montero learned rodeo from his father, Glynn, a veteran cowboy and professional saddle bronc rider who always dreamed of competing in the NFR but never qualified. He left the professional scene and returned to his ranch near Winnemucca to raise Trenten, with whom he shared his passion for rodeo.
The younger Montero was a natural, competing in all three roughstock events in high school and college at New Mexico State. He rode bareback horses and bulls professionally, but stopped riding bulls after sustaining one too many injuries — and undergoing a back surgery that forced him to miss the 2016 season.
"I was working really hard to try to avoid surgery. … Just wasn't seeing any progress," said Montero, noting that he was inactive for nine months. "Since I was about 7 years old, that was the longest I had gone without being on any kind of bucking animal."
Montero said he occasionally doubted that he would qualify for the NFR, but his father said his son always maintained a positive attitude while he returned from injuries. The younger Montero competed again in the 2017 season and finished 37th in the PRCA world standings. He finished 25th in 2018.
The top 15 qualify for the NFR.
"He never lost hope," Glynn Montero said. "There was no 'should I be doing this?' or anything else."
Montero put forth his best season in 2019 to earn that elusive berth in the NFR. He won events at seven rodeos to finish among the world's 15 best bareback riders with $80,757 in earnings.
He was the world's best bareback rider Friday.
"I literally was so excited I was in tears," Glynn Montero said. "I had to walk out of the building, and I was trying to call everybody I knew at home. … I was just so proud of him. I can't even describe it."

Robert Wyatt
by Stephen Trouss
Folk/Country
Pop/R&B
Open share drawer
We met Robert Wyatt on a lovely late summer day, on the top floor of the recently refurbished Royal Festival Hall. The new well appointed member's bar overlooking the Thames is empty but for the two of us. "So, is this your London office now, Robert?" I kid. "Well, I did curate a Meltdown festival here a few years ago…and once you've done something here, you're supposed to have access to the building whenever you like. But the new lot don't seem to realize that. They've been a bit sniffy about doing interviews here. I would say something, but I don't want to be one of those awful people saying 'Don't you know who I am?' I really don't want to be that person!"
It's difficult to imagine anyone getting sniffy with Robert Wyatt. Maybe it's just the beard, but since the deaths of Ivor Cutler and John Peel, Wyatt has become something like the Santa Claus of the British counterculture. Since debuting in the Daevid Allen Trio in 1963, he's been a continuing, restlessly inventive presence, surviving successive fashions, revolutions, and even a fall from a third-story window. A list of his band-mates and collaborators reads like a secret history of all that has been most vital in four decades of British music: Kevin Ayers, Soft Machine, Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd and Syd Barrett, Fred Frith, Brian Eno, Scritti Politti, Elvis Costello, Ultramarine. His new record comes out on Domino, and quite naturally comes with a press release written by his latest fan, Alex from Hot Chip.
Comicopera sees Wyatt reunited with what now seems to be his very own big band (featuring Eno, trombonist Annie Whitehead, saxophonist Gilad Atzmon, his wife Alfie, and Paul Weller, among others) and feels like the third installment in a series that began with 1997's Shleep: Bittersweet, furious and funny protest songs against what Thomas Pynchon once called Empire's "dreamless version of the real."
Pitchfork: So, Robert: Comicopera. I think it's fair to say, you haven't gone Gilbert and Sullivan on us?
Robert Wyatt: No, not really. But it's more Gilbert and Sullivan than, say, Tristan and Isolde…
Pitchfork: You sometimes give the impression you'd like nothing better than to spend the rest of your days sitting around at home, listening to John Coltrane and gazing out the window. What motivates you to make a new record? A combination of your wife and record company?
RW: Well, we've all got to earn a living. And writing songs is what I do. But when I've done a record, it's not that I think it's better or worse than anyone else's, but if I think that nobody else would have done it if I hadn't, well then that's ok.
Pitchfork: Did Domino get in touch with you?
RW: No, on the contrary, we went to them. We just got on with it and finished the record. It's just much more comfortable to have the final record when you're happy with it and then look for a label. And a guy I used to work with at Ryko was now at Domino, and they're just are perfect really. They're real enthusiasts for music. But they have also had a couple of massive hits, so they've got resources. So we're very happy.
Pitchfork: You were on Virgin in the 1970s, Rough Trade in the 80s-- do you think Domino have the same spirit as those other labels did then?
RW: Well you know Virgin was never really about music. They did figure out how to sell records without having hit singles. But it was always an incipient business for [Virgin owner/founder Richard] Branson. Rough Trade was really the big breakthrough.
Pitchfork: Some people might look at Comicopera and say it's a concept album.
RW: I always thought that a concept album was one where you start off with a plan. But this was the opposite, really. I had a batch of songs, Alfie had some ideas. There were some Brian Eno tunes. But then I looked at what I'd got when I'd recorded a few things. I thought that I had three twenty minute sections which seemed to fit together…
Pitchfork: In a funny way, it's like a three-sided lp?
RW: Well it is going to be a three-sided lp! One of the great things about Domino is that they still do vinyl. So it will be three sides, with a short story I wrote on the back of the fourth side, just scratched into the vinyl. But, yes, a sequence appeared-- a first section is at home, the second is out and about in the world, and then third is all over the place. It's not an opera in the classic sense. There's no real plan to it. But you've got to call a record something-- and so that's what it's called.
Pitchfork: You've assembled a terrific band. I can't think of many other records that feature both Brian Eno and Paul Weller.
RW: I really like bands. Not particularly rock bands, but big jazz bands. As a jazz fan I want it to have real people there. There's still a consistency to it all, because it's my voice. And there is some improvisation. I never do anything the same way twice in the studio, and nor does anyone else, and it's not til the end that work out the best takes.
Pitchfork: You worked with Eno last year on a very strange song for the Plaguesongs project.
RW: Oh yes, that was really good. He said to me "Robert, can you do me some flies?". So I said, right great! So I imagined I was a fly-- I method-acted my way into being a swarm of flies. And then we found out the tempo of "Superfly" by Curtis Mayfield, so that was obviously going to be the bpm. And I thought I'd do it in the key of F for Fly. And it's basically atonal. And then Brian put a song around it. It was a very specific request!
Pitchfork: How did you come to work with Paul Weller?
RW: What I've got in common with Paul are two things. Firstly, our main inspirations and points of reference are really Black American music. Except I go back about 10 years earlier than him. But all the London mod clubs that Alfie used to go to, he loves to hear all about that. And the other thing is we have this basic sense of justice, of right and wrong and respect. We just have different ways of expressing it. One thing we don't have in common is he's a very sharp dresser! Him and Jerry Dammers were the last generation of pop or rock musicians I could get along with. I thought they were better, more astute, politically, than my lot were in the 60s.
Pitchfork: Did you once say that without jazz America would have been a mistake?
RW: It wouldn't have been a mistake. But if it hadn't been for the black cultural experience, from the gospel and blues and jazz, American would be no more famous than, say, New Zealand. Americans do make great films. But who doesn't make films? The Japanese do, the French do, the Iranians do! The Americans have a huge commercial advantage. So I wouldn't say cinema. Actually it was Clint Eastwood who said, the only things America has contributed to civilization are the western and jazz. And I don't think westerns are bad, but lots of people make great cinema. But jazz is right there.
Pitchfork: What do you make of hip-hop?
RW: It's none of my business really. It's a modern folk form and a very fertile one. The wonderful thing about the language-- up til that time, black Americans had sung in a slightly secularized church tradition or soap operatics really. And when I heard hip-hop, I thought this is great, really. Because everyone knows in America that working class black American speech is incredibly fertile. Even in jazz, a lot of the language was coming into the music then. Louis Armstrong and Fats Waller. Lots of Black, Jewish and Gypsy things-- the language is full of disguises, to throw the enemy off the scent. And words which mean the opposite of what they say-- bad meaning good and so on.
But the language never came out in the songs at all-- the songs were still "I love you". It wasn't really as good as Irving Berlin or Cole Porter. It was just kind of adequate. Until hip-hop, and then ordinary speech started coming-- the incredible phraseology, how black Americans talk came to the foreground, which was wonderful.
Pitchfork: Were you a kind of teenage Beat jazz fan back in the 50s?
RW: Well…I went to a provincial school where I was caned a lot. There were a few reproductions of Paul Klee around the house. I was just wishing I was someone else, somewhere else. I wasn't living an alternative lifestyle.
Pitchfork: I read somewhere that your mum was a friend of poet Robert Graves?
RW: My mum was a journalist. In the 1930s she went out to Majorca and there weren't very many English people there, so she got to know Robert Graves, it's true. I didn't meet my dad until I was six, because he was fighting in the war. And he then contracted multiple sclerosis, and he was dead 10 years later. But when I knew him, he was an industrial psychologist-- he worked up the road, advising people who'd fallen off ladders what job they could do next. My mum wrote articles. We were fairly normal, to me. Well, it was the only family I had! I had a one hour bus ride to school, through acres of countryside. And when you're a young man you're not looking for acres of countryside. You're looking for girls. So I felt, to be dragged away from London and stuck out there on the brink...That was a cruel blow, I felt!
Pitchfork: Was there much music round the house?
RW: My dad had some jazz records. Most of his generation had started to listen to some jazz, but they played everyone from Debussy to Bartok. But one day my older brother came to visit us and he had loads of jazz records with him, real stuff like Stan Kenton. My dad was a bit shocked that that became my favourite, and I started to listen to less Bartok and more bebop. I think he was puzzled, by that…
Pitchfork: There's some beautiful singing on Comicopera, especially "Just As You Are". How do you feel about your voice these days?
RW: Oh, cheers! I know more about my voice now. I've lost half my top notes, but it seems like I've gained just as many lower ones. In the old days I used to learn by copying women, like Dionne Warwick and Billie Holiday. But more recently my role models have been people like Johnny Cash…Because I'm now down in that area. I don't know if it's quite possible to imagine a journey from Dionne Warwick to Johnny Cash, but that's the one I have been working at!
Pitchfork: You once said that you were like a darts player, throwing some pretty haphazard arrows at the board, and that's what gave the impression of having lots of different musical directions. Do you think you're getting closer to the bulls-eye these days?
RW: Well, at the moment I feel a great sense of relief with this record. In fact, with the last two or three really. I'm getting in focus what I can do in combination with other people, that makes sense, that makes it a listenable record. I can't say I haven't done it before, I have. But now apparently I have this other thing, this alter ego as it were, which is the trumpet. I'm not a very original trumpet player. In fact I'm not a proper trumpet player at all. But it just enables me to get those notes I can't sing anymore. I just feel at home now, in my voice.
Pitchfork: You always undersell yourself as a musician…Were you ever tempted to learn music theory?
RW: I tried learning music, yeah. It's one of those things you sit down and try to do some days, like trying to understand the theory of revolution, or relativity, or how to win at chess or something like that. But I'm crap at it! It still looks like flyshit on telephone polls to me!
Pitchfork: Even though Comicopera deals with the fiasco in the Middle East and the terrible state of Western politics, it doesn't feel like a particularly depressing record.
RW: I don't feel depressed! What I am is...pissed off that I'm probably not going to see a post-colonial era. One thing I remember from my childhood is that my parents' generation thought "Ah thank god, that's the end of racism, and empire and all that stuff, and now we can have a new world of equality and mutual respect…The empire was disintegrating, it was turning into the Commonwealth and the Americas seemed to becoming more democratic and so did the Australians. It seemed like the world was becoming more decent.
And then this thing creepy thing came along, where a kind of financial empire began to replace the military one. Lead from the United States. A pretty ruthless predatory economic approach. And the Americans became the most powerful people in the world, and became the role model for everyone else. I think it perverted everything. And of course economic power has to be constantly reinforced with military power otherwise people tell you to piss off. Every military enterprise that we've been involved in in the last 50 years, though in the guise of ridding the world of bad men, has been about not letting people get control of their own resources. But of course you can't say that. You can't say, "We don't want Iraqis and Iranians to own their own oil because we want to own it." Who's going to let you go to war on that basis? Nobody. So it's not just the crime that's annoying, it's the bollocks that goes with it.
Pitchfork: In the third section you cover a song by the Italian euro-communists, CCCP. Do you identify with that old Gramsci line: "pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will"?
RW: I don't do optimism or pessimism. Gramsci was Italian and they always think in religious terms! I don't do hope, I don't do despair. I just get grumpy about some things and less so about others! That's why it's comic, remember, it's not grand opera.
Pitchfork: People always talk about the sadness of your music. I think they tend to underestimate your sense of humour.
RW: Thank you for saying that! I consider myself a sit-down comedian really, as much as anything else. I love comedy. I love it when "Extras" is on. Or Eddie Izzard. And Alfie and I do make each other laugh. Silliness abounds in our house. My natural state is very light, you know. Life is a cosmic joke and all that.
But it just weighs me down sometimes. The imperialist shenanigans and the justifications that go with them. They're like a big ball and chain that English people have to live with. And it stops me really being able to have the fun I would like to have. I feel the next generation are going to say "What did you do in the war, daddy?" and…I didn't know what to do! I just sang a few grumpy songs about it.
Pitchfork: For the last third of the record you're so alienated by the Anglo-American establishment, you give up singing in English altogether. Are you ever tempted to move abroad?
RW: It's hard to move. Alfie's favourite country is Spain, mine is Italy. We like it in Lincolnshire. But you can live anywhere, really, in your mind. And that's what I do. I just leave England for the last part of the record. I fly around the world and into the past, and surreal revolutionary fantasies fill my head. And I'm a happy bunny.

Information about Dolly Parton
In 1974, her song, "I Will Always Love You", written about her professional break from Wagoner, went to number one on the country chart. Around the same time, Elvis Presley indicated that he wanted to record the song. Parton was interested until Presley's manager, Colonel Tom Parker, told her that it was standard procedure for the songwriter to sign over half of the publishing rights to any song recorded by Presley. Parton refused. That decision has been credited with helping to make her many millions of dollars in royalties from the song over the years. Parton had three solo singles reach number one on the country chart in 1974 ("Jolene", "I Will Always Love You" and "Love Is Like a Butterfly"), as well as the duet with Porter Wagoner, "Please Don't Stop Loving Me". In a 2019 episode of the Sky Arts music series Brian Johnson: A Life on the Road, Parton described finding old cassette tapes and realizing that she'd composed both "Jolene" and "I Will Always Love You" in the same songwriting session, telling Johnson "Buddy, that was a good night. " Parton again topped the singles chart in 1975 with "The Bargain Store".

The prompt for July's mini mission over on Mission Inspiration is 'Power'. I am a teacher, so the quote 'Education is power' was the perfect fit. As always, the mini mission was completed on a tag. As this owl is such a whimsical character, I am also entering it into the current Whimsical challenge over on JJAMMMA (Junk Journals and Mindful Mixed Media Art).
I started with one of my favourite background methods; adhering the top layer of a paper towel to a #8 manilla tag. The one that I chose was one that had been used to clean Archival ink off my stamps (IndigoBlu Collector's Edition) and Amsterdam acrylic paints off my fingers when working on a journal page (see HERE). The paper towel was sealed with distress collage medium, dried and trimmed.
Next I stamped the prompt word 'Power' using the Claritystamp Word Chain Alphabet in Onyx Black Versafine ink and heat embossed it in clear EP.
Using the Tim Holtz stamp platform, I stamped one of the Wise owls (Claritystamp) onto a piece of Sheena's stamping card using Jet Black Archival ink. I added the mortar board and separate tassel.
Using the direct cut option on my Brother Scan N Cut, the owl was cut out beautifully. A knife was needed to cut out the section between his legs.
I used a couple of Kuretake Clean Colour pens and a couple of Royal Talens Ecoline pens to colour the owl, then added him to the tag.
The rest of the quote was printed out in a large font using my Dymo Letratag, trimmed and added.
All that remained was to use a Sakura MB black pen to add a border round the text panels.


In a document library, is it possible to create a new column that pulls this data from the files properties? I've tried adding 'Author' from existing site columns and creating my own single line of text column with a value of _Author and Author0 with no luck. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

GsAF-1 blocks voltage-gated sodium channels
GsAF-1 (also termed β-theraphotoxin-Gr1b, GsAF-I) was originally isolated from the venom of Grammostola rosea spider. GsAF-I peptide toxin is reported to block the following voltage-gated sodium channel isoforms: Nav1.1, Nav1.2, Nav1.3, Nav1.4, Nav1.6 and Nav1.7 with respective IC50 values of 0.4, 0.6, 1.3, 0.3, 1.2 and 0.04 µM.

Target Promiscuity and Heterogeneous Effects of Tarantula Venom Peptides Affecting Na+ and K+ Ion Channels
Venom-derived peptide modulators of ion channel gating are regarded as essential tools for understanding the molecular motions that occur during the opening and closing of ion channels. In this study, we present the characterization of five spider toxins on 12 human voltage-gated ion channels, following observations about the target promiscuity of some spider toxins and the ongoing revision of their "canonical" gating-modifying mode of action. The peptides were purified de novo from the venom of Grammostola rosea tarantulas, and their sequences were confirmed by Edman degradation and mass spectrometry analysis. Their effects on seven tetrodotoxin-sensitive Na+ channels, the three human ether-à-go-go (hERG)-related K+ channels, and two human Shaker-related K+ channels were extensively characterized by electrophysiological techniques. All the peptides inhibited ion conduction through all the Na+channels tested, although with distinctive patterns. The peptides also affected the three pharmaceutically relevant hERG isoforms differently. At higher concentrations, all peptides also modified the gating of the Na+ channels by shifting the activation to more positive potentials, whereas more complex effects were recorded on hERG channels. No effects were evident on the two Shaker-related K+ channels at concentrations well above the IC50 value for the affected channels. Given the sequence diversity of the tested peptides, we propose that tarantula toxins should be considered both as multimode and target-promiscuous ion channel modulators; both features should not be ignored when extracting mechanistic interpretations about ion channel gating. Our observations could also aid in future structure-function studies and might help the development of novel ion channel-specific drugs.
