God, what a useless bastard i am. Its been a long time and i apologise in advance to the 10 people tho look at this thing. Ive just been pretty busy with personal life type things and havnt really been sat down long enough to actually post anything which does actually take a while believe it or not.
However, i have been busy with drawing and photographing when ive had a spare minute. So, im gonna blast loads of stuff up now to make up for lost time.
The main reason i was away for so long was because i had a gig under my ~~~ name (you’ll find a link in my blog roll), which i mentioned in a post a while ago. I always get very nervous and like to spend a lot of time practising when i have a gig in the pipeline. I like to be meticulous about what im going to play down to the very last note so it ends up consuming a huge amount of time. But, it went well and i enjoyed the whole night massively. The other people i played with were absolutely unbelievable as well. Mass (who i have some photos of on this blog) and Richard Dawson (www.myspace.com/richardmdawson) just tore the roof off.
And as an added bonus, a new aquainetence of mine, Mr David Float of musicfilmbroth.com came down and filmed all 3 bands sets for your viewing pleasure. Unfortunatly wordpress wont let me post videos on here so you’ll have to go to the website and look for them. Theyre fairly easy to find. Just go to www.musicfilmbroth.com and there about half ways down the front page.
Please turn this up and try and forget about the talking in the backround. The audio was recorded from the back of the room near the bar… cant have it all can you.
Enjoy
So, that over with, i was finally able to get on with some more visual stuff in the form of a new drawing which i finished the other day. I like this one. Its alot more solid than a couple of others ive done and a lot more balanced but i’ll let you be the judge of that.
Ive also arranged to get a stall to try and sell some of these at a local arts and craft market in July. Its an awesome event with local handmade things that cover a huge variety of styles and mediums, from Photography, to clothing and art, to cakes and jewelry. I think its gonna be a good one and hopefully i’ll sell a few prints.
Now, on the photography side of things, ive been commisioned by a band called Supercharger to take a whole portfolio of pictures for them which is really cool. Im to photograph a few gigs as well as do some promo shots, coupled with some documentary stuff of them in the studio. Ive already shot one gig which i’ll post a handfull of pics from below and im due to do some ‘in the studio’ shots tommorow sometime which should be a lot of fun.
So, thats it for now. Hopefully my next post wont take 3 weeks this time. hope you’ve enjoyed it.
peace out
