"Carve your number on my wall
And maybe you will get a call from me
If I needed someone
Ah, ah, ah, ah ..."

#113 of 365 Daily Drawings
Inspiration: Line from the GiTS OST, Lithium Flower... "she's incredible math"
Result: Binary Coiffure
Materials: Pentel 0.3 HB, Platinum Carbon Fountain Pen, Faber-Castell Watercolour pencils in a Stillman & Birn Alpha series sketchbook ( 21.6 cm 27.9 cm / 8 1/2" x 11")
Location: Home
Note: I had to use the camera to take a picture of this because idiot me got caught up in the ones and zeroes, drawing right to the edge of the binding so scanning it became problematic....and yeah....that is a lot of 1s & 0s *face palm*...I have no idea what possesses me. *>.<!
ANYway the Stillman & Birn sketchbook continues to be awesome. The Faber-Castell watercolour pencils I scrounged up are not surprisingly brilliant and everything works well with my ink so I'm just all kinds of happy :D

Inspiration: Thinking of the ghastly Edward Gorey alphabet book...
Result: A is for Anna who walked through the wood.
Materials: Pentel 0.3 HB, Platinum Carbon Fountain Pen in a Stillman & Birn Epsilon series sketchbook ( 21.6 cm 27.9 cm / 8 1/2" x 11")
Location: Home while invaded by extended family. Cue the chaos!
Note: I sat down today to write up my own version of the Gashlycrumb Tinies, but involving untimely deaths that might befall mice. Studying Edward Gorey's drawings is a tremendously good way for me to learn & practice designing full scenes in ink. While his light touch of macabre is inspiring, the only one bearing any resemblance to the book is X ...all others are flights of grim fancy brought to you directly from the bleak depths of my own imagination. It's nice to have a plan B to fall back on if I can't come up with anything else to draw. I call it 26 Demice.

"They say we bruise too easily
I don't know if it's that way for me
I've seen 'em come, I've seen 'em go
I've seen everyone I know
Fall in and out of love
It's just the way it goes
Word is out, silence seems so loud
There's no light above or below me now
I've seen it grow, I've seen it live
I've seen everything I give
Falling out my hands, no matter who I'm with
And nobody ever tells you
When love is dying, when love is dying
It just gets a little colder
And we stop trying, we stop trying
Yeah we stop trying
Oh when love is dying
There's a pain you never can explain
It cuts so deep time and time again
I felt it then, I feel it now
But nobody told me how
To fight a world of hurt
Somebody help me now
But love never gets to show you
And I never got to know you
No we never stood a chance
When love was dying
No and love never makes it easy
And I never got that feeling
No we never stood a chance
When love was dying..."
WHEN LOVE IS DYING - Music & lyrics Elton John, Leon Russell & Bernie Taupin, 2010.

"Ho hey ho...
What's the use of worrying?
What's the use of hurrying?

"Through all the happiness and sorrow
I guess I'd do it all again
Live for today and not tomorrow
It's still the road that never ends..."

There's No Tomorrow
Music & lyrics by Elton John, Leon Russell, James Timothy Shaw, T Bone Burnett 2010
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There's no time for waiting
No future to see
Inside the next moment
Nothing might be
The answer's not certain
No time to decide
Is this the last curtain
There's no place to hide
There's no tomorrow
There's no tomorrow
There's no tomorrow
There's only today
We all know the story
We've heard it before
We end up no question
Outside of death's door
There's no easy answer
To the question at hand
So easy to ask
And not understand

PICTURE THIS
Music and lyrics by Blondie 1978
----------------------------------------------------------
"All I want is a room with a view.
A sight worth seeing, a vision of you.
All I want is a room with a view, oh...
I will give you my finest hour, the one I spent watching you shower.
I will give you my finest hour, oh, yeah.
All I want is a photo in my wallet.
A small remembrance of something more solid.
All I want is a picture of you.
Picture this - a day in December.
Picture this - freezing cold weather.
You got clouds on your lids and you'd be on the skids if it weren't for your job at the garage.
If you could only,
Picture this - a sky full of thunder.
Picture this - my telephone number.
One and one is what I'm telling you, oh, yeah.
All I want is 20/20 vision...
A total portrait with no omissions.
All I want is a vision of you, oh...
If you can,
Picture this - a day in December.
Picture this - freezing cold weather.
You got clouds on your lids and you'd be on the skids if it weren't for your job at the garage.
If you could only,
Picture this - a sky full of thunder.
Picture this - my telephone number.
One and one is what I'm telling you.
Get a pocket computer, try to do what ya used to do, yeah.

"I'm a honky tonk man and I can't seem to stop
Love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox
When my money's all gone I'm on the telephone
Singin' hey hey mama can your daddy come home..."

Note: I enjoyed drawing the squirrel so much yesterday I thought I'd try a hare today.
Enjoyed & learned a LOT listening to the BBC documentary Queen Victoria's Children while drawing this. You can find it here:
I did this Scottish Castle for my late Uncle Buck (real name Aubrey Buchan) in about 1975 and his daughters asked me if I would like it back. Apparently he prized it and had it beautifully framed, Loathe to take it out of the frame, I have used my digital camera instead of scanning. This one shows Glamis Casle, home of Earl and Countess Strathmore. Rotring rapidograph on cartridge paper, 1600 x 1200mm. I don't remember what I used for reference, but I think it was one of those colour calendars.

"I was standing
All alone against the world outside
You were searching
For a place to hide
Lost and lonely
Now you've given me the will to survive
When we're hungry...love will keep us alive..."

My first, and most likely my last, Zentangles. I tried it and just couldn't get into the swing of it. I do admire everyone who does these, though. One never knows until things are tried! I do love receiving Zentangles, though.
