Forever's Gonna Start Tonight

Farewell, Bonnie Tyler. For some reason I never used to think all that much of Total Eclipse Of The Heart. It was always just there somehow. In the background. Overlooked. Then Andrew Davies introduced it as one of his Desert island Discs. And I listened. And I've *loved* it ever since.

In other news I have no other news. I am working on music for a secret project and that's about it.

Here comes some more recent art including sketches from a life drawing class to which, like a chocolate moth to a flame, I keep returning...

























Framed for a pal.







Fare thee well.

Don't Ever Change

Amy Rigby was brilliant at The Doublet in Glasgow - a matinee show of songs and readings from her new memoir "Girl To Country". Written after 9/11 "Don't Ever Change" is a great, great song that gets me every time.

Cat People has been lurking on BBC i-player forever. I succumbed. Enjoyable hokum. But no match for I Walked With A Zombie by the same director. And don't get me started on the genius of Horror Express (not by the same director but available on i-player for your edification.)

I enjoyed this interview with my pal Andrea who was in a Dundee band called The Wilderness Children. She's a good interviewee. On the Bay City Rollers:

"I so wanted those socks with their faces on them..."

I am going to keep at the Life Drawing...







Me and a pal took a spin down to Kirkcudbright...


...to view the SJ Peploe exhibition....





Quite inspiring.

More art...





























** Someone messaged me on Facebook to ask if I ever sell the drawing I post. I can't seem to message them back - but the answer is yes. **


Adios, x
