Today is Tomorrow's Yesterday...

This is a image from a series of new work that
I am producing at the moment called 'Things Hidden'
This image is called 'Today is Tomorrow's Yesterday'
They all feel a bit spooky, which has an appeal!
I am quite pleased with how they are taking shape.

Emelbi Vibes…

This is one of the images that I designed to promote the music that I produce. I have been playing guitar, writing and singing for around 17 years now. A mish mash of folk and blues with a few other flavours thrown in for good measure!

You can check out some of my music here… myspace.com/emelbivibes
