New video release - 'The Importance of Being Average'
Here in all its glory is 'The Importance of Being Average', with animations from the mighty Matt Frodsham! In these strange times we can all feel a bit isolated and in need of a smile or two! I really hope this makes you smile today and hopefully makes you laugh too.
Today (14th of May) marks one year since skateboarder Ben Raemers tragically took his own life. His family and the good people at @thebenraemersfoundation want this day to be full of positivity and have launched #SMileForRaemers Hopefully we can can all do our bit to spread some positivity and keep smiling #SMileForRaemers there's a link in my bio to donate to the https://benraemersfoundation.com if you can spare anything please donate to help an awesome cause.
This video was originally filmed at the mighty @troubletongues first birthday last year in London and I worked with my old collaborator @mattfrodsham to put this together, although it's weird to ask someone to "draw a load of d**ks for one of my poems". Got to hand it to @mattfrodsham, he really does draw a good d**K!!
Filming by @the_beardo and Camden Tony! Big shout out to @sonnygreenuk who gets a little cameo or two in the video.

Free Poem Give Away
In these uncertain times I want to spread a little love and positivity.
I sent this hand typed and signed piece to my friend Scott Partington earlier this week and if you’d like your own one of a kind piece (for free!) simply find a lil poem I’ve posted on my Instagram @matlloydpoet either by trawling my feed, by searching the hashtag #notadaywithoutaline, or by sending me the name of the poem from one of my books via instagram DM and I will send it out over the coming weeks for as long as I have stamps and of course the posties are still working.
All I ask is that you do something similar to keep people smiling in these crazy times! I've seen so much positivity online I really think this may be a real sea change for not only the UK but the whole world.
Afraid it's UK only at the moment due to postage costs.

Latest Episode of the 'Skateboarder And' with Kelli Watson
In this episode I got to sit down with skateboarder, teacher, educator, and Documentary Film Maker Ms. Kelli Watson. Straight up, Kelli is an awesome human being. Her love of skateboarding comes from a slightly different angle than most and in part due to working with skateboarders who are also her students. She's developed a passion for the culture and is about to premier her second Documentary 'We Can Fly 2' about skateboarding and creativity. I was stoked to be featured in her first film 'We Can Fly' along side such awesome artists such as; Ben Gore, Ed Templeton, Eloise Dorr and Barry Kay (to name a few)!
Check out the episode and then come down to the premier of 'We Can Fly 2' at the Doomed Gallery (65 Ridley Rd, London E8 2NP) on the 7th of August from 6pm! Free beer, free art and good vibes!
Either way I'm off for a skate with Kelli.
