While many know John Sinclair as the White Panther firebrand who stoked the MC5’s insurrectionary manifesto, or drug bust victim released after John Lennon’s high-profile intercession, his roots stretch back to jazz and the beats, as writer, avant-garde champion and poet. Sinclair’s large legend allows him to travel the world, collaborating with like-minded souls; a living embodiment of the original free spirit that fought to emancipate a generation, one of the few left still flying the freak flag as high as he can hoist it.
Since the early 90s, Sinclair has released albums of his poetry, but Beatnik Youth is the high-profile statement he’s been meant to make all his life. This poorly served generation needs it: that militant energy which released the bats in the 60s is crucially booted into the 21st Century in a riotous celebration of personal freedom, cultural trailblazers and, frankly, marijuana.
Sinclair’s core cohorts are producer-bassist Youth and The Dirty Strangers’ singer-guitarist Alan Clayton (plus engineer-keyboardist Michael Rendall). Different tracks also feature Howard Marks, Zodiac Mindwarp, Mark Stewart, Primal Scream, singer Angie Brown and one Beef Pilchards. Between insidious soul choruses over diverse backdrops, Sinclair barks, growls, rails, coos and guffaws with a roaring animated passion undimmed by his 70-plus years. Moods straddle the smokily atmospheric (Testify, Sitartha), balls-out rockers (Ain’t Nobody’s Business, 1965-composed doper anthem Good Stuff) or free-form cinematic (Brilliant Corners homaging Kerouac, Ginsberg and Burroughs). Everybody Needs Somebody’s motorik carries Sinclair’s infamous (Thelonious) Monk In Orbit poem, while the Primals-driven Culture-Cide (hijacked from Youth’s recent Mark Stewart sessions) becomes a weed-for-all riot with Howard Marks gleefully piling in. That Old Man is a spirits-lifting reflection on growing old disgracefully, concluding that this old man is “still alive and kicking”. A rare delight all round.

Making dolls is what I really enjoy, so I decided to make Sidney a crochet doppleganger.
This is the Mini Free Spirit doll, worked in sportweight yarn with a size C crochet hook (instead of worsted yarn and size E hook). So, she is a Little Mini. She is about 1/2 inch shorter than Mini, and about 3/4 inch taller than Sidney. Her head is bigger than Sidney's, but her torso, legs, and arms are about the same.
Sidney and Little Mini can wear the same clothes, which are the Mini Free Spirit clothes worked in size 20 crochet cotton with a size 8 hook.

Work to round seven on the body, then insert the shoulder posts into the body between rounds four and five. The hardest part of making this doll is pushing the collars down on the shoulder posts inside this tiny body. Persevere! It can be done! Push hard and push the collar down as far as it will go. You want a tight fit.
This has got to be the best DOF shot I ever done!! Just found this one.
No photoshop, I left in all the dust and noise (grain).
Judging by the grain it must be ASA 400, Camera: Minolta SRT-101, Focal length: either 58mm or 116mm.
I just took a break and came back. Now thinking this had to be an ASA 400 film and I was using the Rokker-X MC lens wide open at f/1.4 Only a fast lens lens like that with a fast film could do this!!
Now those days (photo taken 1978) I did all my own darkroom work, (as this) but there is no way you could create this type of DOF in a darkroom (I wish I could have, I'd be famous!! ;-) ).

Made with fabric from the Habitat line by Free Spirit designer Jay McCarroll as part of a Modern Quilt Guild challenge.
I received 6 fat eigths plus a tiny scrap of a seventh fabric. As per the rules I added in one solid (kona charcoal) and I'm hoping the binding doesn't count (kona daffodil or buttercup, I'm not sure which).
I was heavily influenced by this quilt for the design, which I called "Split the Deck" while I was making the top. I laid the fat eights down in a random order and cut as many 4.5" squares as I could. I then cut these along the 45" angle and sewed them together randomly by splitting the stack of triangles in half and pairing them up. Any time I had two of the same fabrics, I stacked the pile and split it back up again (like shuffling cards.) I managed to get 49 squares plus 2 triangles that were just an ooch too small, these ended up in the corners.
To make the central motif I split the stack of HST squares and dealt the deck as it came. if I didn't like the layout, I picked up the squares at random, turning 90degrees at random and re-dealt. I repeated this a couple of times before ending up with this arrangement. I did the same random picking with the tiny scraps leftover from making squares to make the scrap pieced sashing.
The quilt is quilted with concentric squares radiating from the central HST. They are spaced around the square seams, a half inch either side of the ditch and then a second ring a half inch out from that. The quilt is about 33" square.
More pics in comments including the backing, a Japanese fabric I picked up in Vancouver as a remnant. It's a very pale pink with a light grey paisley print.
A gift for a sweet young lady. Outer fabric is Anna Maria Horner LouLouThi voile. Lining is Free Spirit solid voile. Read about it here.
