Throwback to my 2021 album 'Learning to Swim'. 20 songs all 20 seconds long.This was shared again by a few folk across other platforms recently and I don't think I ever shared it on here so here it is again. It was a lot of fun t make so I hope people enjoy it on some level.
Made for the 20x20 Project. 20 silly pop like songs all 20 seconds long. An album length of a single.

'Cheaper than Therapy'
Sicko drawing done last week. If I let the pen wander and don't think too much I produce macabre, sicko gunk like this. Still...it's cheaper than therapy!

Drawing of @clairo live from a forthcoming work in progress tome of live reviews/drawings. I spent several hours colouring this in before deciding it looked better B/W
Lyric is from her song 'Amoeba'
I have seen Clairo live twice. Both were knockout shows but the first one circa 2023 was one of the best gigs I have ever been to.
Still....

Frock/Poster klong made for @rowanpls to mark UK EU tour of her bands @thef_mcels@gabriellaturquoise and @world.peace.dmt with support from @gucci.samo
The pic was inspired by the artful disjunction between organic elements and plasticity that I see running through the songs and visual aesthetic of both bands. Still.....

I am offline for a couple of weeks now. Here is an iconic portrait of the artist (ie me!) by @gerrykingthewriter taken circa 2008.
