Hello, these are mine! I believe I never shared them outside of Tumblr, so no high quality versions available online I'm afraid, and none available that aren't on this blog (the ones I shared are the best of the photoshoot anyway).

does anyone have a source on WHERE the UDAD album photos came from? Talking about the ones w/ tim dressed as Opedius and TS as Orpeheus and all that. I have most of them I just want higher quality versions

#god how is it so hard to find good photos of all nine mechs together

@all-seeing-ifer so fun fact there has literally only ever been one photoshoot with all nine Mechanisms and it’s that one and that is one of the main reasons we did it

(There have been gigs with all nine, of course, but you can never get such good photos at a gig as at a dedicated photoshoot.)

#how many times do you think they had to try to get that photo right

Pleased to announce that this is actually the very first photo in the sequence of trying to catch the TS’s heel-click!

These are really just some alternate shots of the lineup photos that are already on Flickr.

Nope! Jonny is not in the list because he was not present for this gig!

(I didn’t manage to get any good pictures of Ashes D: They were at the back, and I appear to have lost all skill with camera focus over the summer.)

Ashes is listed in the post - they came as Jonny. Jonny wasn't present for this gig, the introduction quoted in the description is Tim speaking (and I don't recall who's doing the "dressing up?" interjection, maybe Ivy?)

A few more Mechanisms photos I found while looking for something else, from the photoshoot for the UDAD flyers and album booklet (see more that I posted at the time here).

From the top:

Raphaella as Ariadne, the busy Olympian; Tim as Oedipus being hounded by the press; Toy Soldier as Orpheus clutching the lifeless form of your photographer as Eurydice; Raphaella as Ariadne post jilting by Theseus x2; and Drumbot Sunglasses, just for fun (technically he’s dressed as Theseus).

Oo-kay, so I have a bunch of Mechs photos that I’ve never posted publicly before, mostly because they are not good enough to meet my standards for “good photography that goes on the Flickr”, but the Mechs now seem to have a fandom who will kill for photos regardless of technical quality, and I am bored this afternoon, so! Expect some old photos showing up in your feed!

Which hair dyes do you use?

I have just discovered this message in my inbox, and I have no idea when it arrived, so here’s hoping it’s a recent one and apologies if it’s actually been languishing here for five years while I ignore this blog....

BUT ANYWAY

For my bright hair colours, I use Schwarzkopft 00B to turn my natural mousey brown into blonde-ish, and then Directions for the actual colours. It works okay! And Directions is basically just paint for hair, so it’s super easy to mess around with. My one tip is: it says leave it on for 20 minutes, but to get properly bright colours I actually leave it on for an hour, or two for blues these days.
