“But life is just a party And parties weren't meant to last…” - from ‘1999’ by Prince.

When you take a punt on a blind sticker bundle for your art… because, reasons! Can’t say I’m a huge Britney fan but I don’t dislike her though. Millennials like myself couldn’t escape her no matter how much we switched the music TV channels over as kids hahahaha! If I ever encounter anyone who doesn’t know who she is, I’ll tell them she was the Tate McRae of the late 90s/early 2000s…

When I listen to music I come up with ideas. Well here it is.

“I try to apply colors like words that shape poems, like notes that shape music.”
- Joan Miro.

“Regard your limitations as secret strengths.” - Brian Eno, born on this day in 1948!

Sometimes I need something that matches the mood.

So I am making a little animation (as part of my art training) and this is the first frame. It's to a song, so I put the words on the screen, so that's why the word is there

Nat King Cole, music, love

A passage from Nick Cave’s Red Hand Files struck a chord with me… “I’m worried my thoughts might slip away, as with a dream.”

“I think trying to be creative, keeing busy, has a lot to do with keeping you alive.” - Willie Nelson.

“Rules are for other people, I like breaking the rules!” - Todd Rundgren.

Another of them usual characters to conclude things in my current volume!

“I'd never just want to do what everybody else did. I'd be contributing to the sameness of everything." - Captain Beefheart.

Musical madness!

“I was born to rock the boat. Some may sink, but we may float.” - Warren Zevon.

Happens more than I'd like to admit

“Edinburgh is home. It’s like everything in the world that should be is in Edinburgh and its surroundings.” - Bert Jansch.

“I find only freedom in the realms of eccentricity.” - David Bowie.

Syd Barrett inspired whales…

This was an inspiration to a title I saw on a music cover, so I decided to draw it and it turned out great. Lava Reef is my favorite zone in Sonic 3 and Mania and I’m really happy that I actually got to draw it. Sonic belongs to Sega

Music quotes that apply to art as well… “Anybody can play. The note is only 20%. The attitude of the motherf•••er who plays it is 80%.” - Miles Davis.

New sketchbook time again :-)

A Rhino energetically plays an electric guitar with flames blazing from the headstock. The rhinoceros stands on a moving car, evoking a sense of wild, rebellious energy.

Sunday morning, more than a decade ago. Music, fellowship, and reports about what God was doing here and there. Some things are worth remembering. We learn from looking back— but we must live forward.

“To rally every black sheep is my goal.” - Julian Cope.
