After 15 years as a lawyer, I am now a writer and teacher, working primarily to develop creativity and confidence in young people, through music, writing and art.

My crime and horror writing is something I have done since I was a kid. It attracted criticism back then and still attracts criticism now.

My rock band continue to menace and harass audiences both in the flesh and across the spotify-globe. If you are rock/metal lover check out my songwriting via the link below.

My abstract art will soon be released via www.abstractoriginals.uk

Picture Question: What does Industry cite as an essential ingredient to success? Or sports persons laud when it appears in competition? What do artists both celebrate the presence of and yet lament the absence of in equal measure? What do trendy free-thinkers monopolise, life-coaches claim to be experts in, and politicians revert to as “the answer” when no-one really has any idea what to do about any giv Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Julian Lorr  (?)

“For these are the things of Man: Sex, Lust and Death.”
Julian Lorr, The Scarlet Tessera

“I don't sit here and make these stories up. They are delivered to me, over time, by some relentless and shadowy demand. Trust me, if I wasn't compelled to write then I wouldn't; it doesn't generally make me happy, it certainly doesn't bring any fame or fortune, and the more I think about it the more I struggle to find the positives in it. And yet I cannot help but continually do it. It is like a whisper on a warm breeze from the heart of a portentous sunset: It promises so much, but, ultimately just draws you into the stormy waters.”
Julian Lorr

“He just stared blankly at the carnage and cried. A weak man. A man who couldn’t stand up for what he believed in because he didn’t really believe in anything, not really, not deep down. He lacked that put-a-gun-to-your-head-and-say-it-like-you-mean-it edge that characterised all of his brethren. He was just a nice guy. A nice guy in a troubled place.”
Julian Lorr, The Loneliness of Jacob Rozinski

“Perhaps some day I'll crawl back home, beaten, defeated. But not as long as I can make stories out of my heartbreak, beauty out of sorrow.”
Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

“People don't read any more. It's a sad state of affairs. Reading's the only thing that allows you to use your imagination. When you watch films it's someone else's vision, isn't it?"

[Interview in The Independent, 15 October 2005]”
Lemmy Kilmister

“I don't sit here and make these stories up. They are delivered to me, over time, by some relentless and shadowy demand. Trust me, if I wasn't compelled to write then I wouldn't; it doesn't generally make me happy, it certainly doesn't bring any fame or fortune, and the more I think about it the more I struggle to find the positives in it. And yet I cannot help but continually do it. It is like a whisper on a warm breeze from the heart of a portentous sunset: It promises so much, but, ultimately just draws you into the stormy waters.”
Julian Lorr

“Give sorrow words; the grief that does not speak knits up the o-er wrought heart and bids it break.”
William Shakespeare, Macbeth
