It is the latest in electronic music for your band

Has someone got into his first aid box and messed around with all the plasters? ;-)

secret radio hidden behind a picture ..

I'm going with the gizmo rigged picture idea too, maybe a portrait where the eyes really do follow you around? Or a 2D cuckoo clock?

Crystal set for digital radio reception?

He's making a massive talking Cliff Richard Christmas card for someone he really hates.

It's one of those moving waterfall pictures so often found in Chinese takeaways isn't it?

A recent convert to the works of American beat combo 'Slayer', Pond Snr. is converting the waterfall picture so it resembles the band's famous 'wall of blood' stage gimmick.

My first thought is that he's examining one of your mega remotes but I'm going to go with a concealed burgler sensor which is in a picture and shouts abuse at who ever trips the alarm

Is he fixing the light behind the mirror?

I think that is one of those Skylight pictures...

And he has a lighter in his hand...

He's getting a smoke...

Suicide bomber ?

I know the answer! He's a genius! Mad as a box of frogs, but genius all the same! He'll be famous when he's gone, and the world will be wondering what they've missed out on...

Intriguing one!

ijbison is the closest..

It's a Jigsaw.. mounted in a frame.. with lights.. and party sounds.. and other flashhing lights..and Bruce Forsyth shouting "nice to see you, see you nice!"..

And in this image he's just fitted a remote control to it (in his right hand) so he can trigger all the above from the comfort of his arm chair.

He would -love- a massive talking Cliff Richard!

He builds stuff like this as a hobby? From scratch? A man after my own heart. Get a subscription to Make if he doesn't have one.

Yes! http://makezine.com/ I wouldn't be surprised if he could get this work featured in the magazine.

I see the electronic genius runs in the family. I am glad he gets a lot of enjoyment in it.
