Getting inspired by Blixa Bargeld from Einsturzende Neubaten and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, as you do!

Much Ultravox was listened to as I made this particular one…

Lunch time and a spot of music = this.

Beginning of acrylic while tuned in live to https://www.mixcloud.com/djtruebrit-otb/. I love how it evolved as the soundwaves flowed through. More to come... XO Tethered2This

Jazz inspired whales for drawing no. 2 today!

For David Bowie, rest in power good sir! And thank you for your amazing music and art :-)

Part of an art + music series I will have on my website soon.

Part of an art + music series I'm working on now.

"When the teachers asked me to play something, I would pretend that I was reading it and play from memory. I didn't fool them, but I didn't care." - Vangelis (1943 - 2022).

Creating in like-minded company is a blissful experience, that much is true! Boy I’ve missed drawing clubs… :-)

Space cases and stegosaurs (I think).

Mark E Smith... a writer and musician who never fails to motivate me, creatively speaking.

Yesterday’s Magnetic Fields gig and current affairs fuelled the flames for this one, as did pink dolphins.

My girlfriend's words inspired this one, for which I’m forever grateful! :-P :-D

It was a Damien Jurado kind of evening last night!

Saturday night doodle-fest/collage-fest/general art party here. :)

I’m coming out of another one of those periods where I’ve drew or doodled very little (all the other projects on the go until now!), but as always I got my mojo back in the nick of time, it seems. :) Same old stuff here for now!

Apparently, Blixa Bargeld of Einsturzende Neubaten and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds fame actually did this to his school back when he was a lad! I needed an idea for a convoluted weird-as-they-come title, and after reading that story I knew I had something, heheheh :)

Narwhals and musicality collides in a tale of who-knows-what.

Higgins Ink on paper

Swimming in a musical landscape, as you do.

Sleep well David Bowie, and thanks for all the inspiration! Saw this comment on one of Iggy Pop’s music videos via YouTube and had to create something based around it, spelling mistakes and all...

” Please allow me to introduce myself I'm a man of wealth and taste I've been around for a long, long year Stole many a man's soul to waste ” I have had an idea for a long time to illustrate Sympathy for the Devil from Rolling Stones. This start from free sketching of cloud looking lines and soon i realise they look like atom bomb cloud. Original idea was more landscape version but maybe later.

I listen to music when I draw and, even though he's not "cool" anymore, I still like Jack Johnson a lot. This song came on and I started the letters.

I had some family at my house this week and my niece kept wanting to play my ukulele, only she called it "kookulele". It made me laugh every time and in the morning before they got up I sketched this real quick to remind me of it.

Happy June one and all.

Inspired by reading a subreddit discussing the early works of Animal Collective.

The title for this one was inspired by a remark the DJ Marc Riley made on his BBC 6 Music show earlier in the week. Couldn’t resist getting inspired! As we self-isolate and/or minimise going out unless we feel the absolute need to, as Freddie of the Mercury once sang, “radio, someone still loves you ❤️”
