….even tho’ we’ve got our election out of the way….
….I’m not sure I’ve got enough time to expand on this “thumbnail” before the coming apocalypse….
…(actual size of page is A4…red and blue on lettering are in metallic paints)….
….(am thinking of painting this A2ish…or bigger!)….
…(…late posting this week…because, Kokonga….)….
….been poking about for stuff to show you all…
…tried dredging the sketchbook and most everything in there is part of an ongoing secret project with a planned “big reveal”….
…except for this….
…was becoming concerned with the polls for the American Presidential election…(yeah…remember that?)….and thought I should possibly drift towards commenting in words and pictures….(haven’t done that for awhile)….
…finally had to lean on Shepard Fairey’s masterpiece from awhile ago….
….but, decided to leave it to the professionals…(surely Shepard has already thought of this)….
….(surely)….
…so busy making stuff I forgot my words…
…and the best I can do for a “triumpant” return is this repurposed touristy trinket from the Maldives….
…(….he didn’t even have the forethought to synchronise it with the actual doomsday clock…pfft…lazy!….)….
…(…and in his somewhat lack-lustre defence he will point out that he did go to the trouble of turning the fish upside down…that took ages…)…
…hey…I’m back.
…(shall not promise more or regular….but will try….)
: P
…celebrated the release of Dee’s new album, “She Shanties For Frank”, a week back…
…wicked gig in a great room (let’s do that again)…didn’t get many (if any) good picks from the back (and under the influence)….but maybe if you know this guy…
…he recorded quite a bit of the gig and took loads of photos….
…anyways….
