Welcome to the official BLLUdog website. This ‘business’ whilst still fledgling, has come a long way since my original idea was spawned – a stereo typical skinhead character which I hoped to print onto t shirts – whilst going through what many would call a bad patch in my life.
There are many popular perceptions on skinheads and their culture, the main one, to my annoyance is that they are ALL racist neo-Nazi’s which is something that is just not true and something in which I AM keen to convey, particularly in today’s politically correct Great Britain.
I am in essence an artist, a designer, NOT a politician, NOT a businessman, and certainly NOT an I.T. expert. So this venture has lead me to learn and encounter far more than I could ever have imagined, and to those of you who know me well will no doubt agree that for me, this was
no easy task, and I am far from the finishing line if indeed there ever is one.
The BLLUdog brand is a work in progress and being both a novice and pessimist I am sure there will be some teething problems and for this I apologise in advance and would thank you for your patience, understanding and support and also for taking the time to visit the web site.
Shout outs to the following people, without who’s help and support none of this would have been possible. Dave Johnstone from CFCUK magazine, what can I say? A true inspiration and top, top man. Cannot say enough about this man, the REAL Mr. Chelsea. Martin King ( or is it Knight?! )
for giving me my first ‘break’ and the encouragement. Benn King (no relation) and Lucien Morden for all the hours and hard work put in on the P.C, couldn’t have done it without you. Same goes to Grant Cass, a true exception to the rule that all Spurs fan’s are tight. Mark Carroll and
Adam at Micro Tees who’s patience, tutoring and advice was invaluable and who’s help I couldn’t have done without. Peter Kay from the sporting Chance Clinic, Abbey for putting up with me and my tantrums over the past year or so and for understanding me and for just being you, love you stupid.
To my parents Geoff and Jenny and my brother Tom for the ‘constructive critisism’ support and encouragement and also my uncle Baron. Thanks to Dale ‘the badger’ Hutchinson for listening and feeding my ego when needed, Martin Vella for his ‘input’ , Julie Osbourne for her help and support – wishing
you a full and speedy recovery, and finally Jason Lucas for stitching me up, I know, it’s the thought that counts! Anyone I’ve forgotten to mention apologies, there are far too many of you that have all contributed something in some way or other, although there is one person who I can’t name due to
legal implications who I must pay a special thank you to for kick-starting this whole thing. You win again.
So thanks again and hope to have your continual support in making BLLUdog a success. Any suggestions please send to ben.marsh@blludog.co.uk
