2010. Post 2

More drawing on the move:

2010. Post 1.

I hate New Year, but this one was pretty much perfect. A few beers, sitting on the shore with two amazing mates while watching fireworks and flares, oblivious to the bitter cold. Then we were all in bed by 1am

Flares over Oban Harbour (pic shamlessly stolen from Chez)

An unexpected detour on the drive home forced us north via some of the most stunning scenery Ive ever seen. Im ashamed to say that Ive hardly seen any of Scotland, but our drive through Glencoe has inspired me to see more of it this summer.

As for resolutions, I dont believe in making them. My plan is to continue being as happy, productive and healthy as possible. Onwards and upwards in 2010!

Current Music: Interpol - Public Pervert

"Swoon, baby, starry nights"

Goodbye 2009

The sooner I see the back of 2009 the better.

Its been nothing but one kick in the teeth after after another.

Roll on 2010

Some wine and some paper cups

Guess I should post some actual art here. Pieces from my sculpture, drawing and print blocks. In no real order because I dont have the energy for that right now.













Current Music: Deathcab For Cutie - Grapevine Fires

"And the firemen worked in double shifts, With prayers for rain on their lips
And they knew it was only a matter of time "

Is there something I lack, when youre flat on your back?

It was the mid 90s and I was 15 years old.

There was no internet, and I depended on Melody Maker (R.I.P) giving out free tapes and CDs. Top Of The Pops was still good, and watching it on a Thursday night was the highlight of my week. Music was pirated not by downloads but by taping the Steve Lamaq show in the evening, and the charts off Radio 1 on a Sunday.

A wee trip down memory lane to when Britpop and Indie reigned supreme:

Ok, Sleeper were always a bit rubbish but I did like this song.

Sleeper - Sale Of The Century.

Echobelly - King Of The Kerb (bonus TOTP footage!)

Oh Justine. *swoon*

Elastica - Stutter

And these guys.... Ok, maybe not now but when Definatley Maybe first came out Id never heard anything quite so exciting! I still maintain that the first two Oasis albums are bloody incredible and no one will ever convince me otherwise.

Oasis - Live Forever

Oh the nostalgia!

Building bridges

Current Music: Chairlift - Bruises

"Got holes in my new jeans for you, got grass stains on my knees for you"

Led To The Sea

Far too far.
Far too fast.
