In pictures: Life in a squat

Jan, from Germany, came to the UK during the G8 summit at Gleneagles, to protest with the Clandestine Insurgent Rebel Clown Army.

Members dress as clowns to "ridicule authority" in their protests over issues such as war, globalisation and surveillance.

Some of his own clown designs have been very popular, he says.

After the summit he stayed to set up the screen-printing collective, and hopes to keep building the project for another year, after which he may move on to India or Africa.
