Old76 Music-inspired Art 2013

 

Aloha! Just met someone in Hollywood named Jean...

....Trump is quoted as saying; "...you look at what's happeing last night in Sweden".....much to the perplextion and vexation of the Swedes, who have NO IDEA what he is talking about. It's like the The Böwling Grön Massacre all over again. This is my guess. ;)

JUDY & CIE

Musique & paroles par Pierre Rapsat & Eric Van Hulse

(Eurovision 1976)

Judy, Judy n'est pas jolie

Judy, Judy celle qu'on oublie

(Que l'on oublie)

Dès que la soirée s'achève

Judy, Judy on te charrie

Judy, Judy on te marie

(On te marie)

Et toujours avec un rêve

Sous ton rimmel et tes bijoux

Tu pries Sainte Marilyn Monroe

D'être une poupée, un beau joujou

Tu peux te plaindre

Enfin la femme

 

Judy, Judy se réfugie

Judy, Judy dans la magie

(dans la magie)

Des flacons si doux à boire

Judy la nuit

Fait un songe dérisoire

Un jour un soir changer de peau

Avec les pis sur les photos

A boire encore comme un roseau

Les yeux tout vides

Mais pas de rides

 

Judy, Judy & Compagnie

Judy, Judy qu'on sacrifie

(qu'on sacrifie)

Contre une poignée de neige

Pauvre Judy

  

#310 of 365 Daily Drawings

 

Inspiration: Barcelona

 

Result: Day 4

 

Materials: Pentel 0.3 HB, Sakura Micron 005 & Faber-Castell Albrecht Durer watercolour pencils in a Stillman & Birn Zeta series sketchbook

 

Location: apartment in Barcelona

 

Note: The following drawings are reflections of my trip to Spain, Dublin and Scotland. It's a combination sketchbook / journal. Not all of the pages contain writing ....those are yet to be filled in because while I did make a point of doing a drawing every day I really didn't have time to also fill in the blanks with words...those are to come. I just needed to get these posted so I could get my daily drawings back on track. :)

"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..."

 

(Leon Russell, Elton John, THE UNION)

Fun morning with the Brisbane Urban Sketchers at South Bank. I really love drawing the Moreton Bay Fig Tree trunks.. Can you find the water dragon?

"Oh you came to town in headlines

And eight hundred dollar shoes..."

 

An ink drawing of Sir Elton John after the Cover of the Rolling Stone in June 1971.

 

Elton signed it during one of his concerts in the USA.

"...You can't shoot down the moon

Some things never change

We can build a bridge between us

But the empty space remains

 

Just as long as you're around

We live on borrowed time

I'll put my money where my mouth is

You're guilty at the scene of the crime

 

I never say more than I need

The mystery runs deep

The dangers buried below

The secrets that you keep"

 

SHOOT DOWN THE MOON - Elton John, 1985;

Inspiration: My recent birthday

 

Result: Infinity Dragon

 

Materials: Pentel 0.3 HB, Micron 005 & 02 pens, in a Moleskine plain journal

 

Location: At home

 

Note: I have always been associated with dragons. I don't mean that I think I am one or feel an affinity for them, rather that throughout my life people have gifted me with dragon totems and nicknames. Born in the Year of the Dragon helps explain how it started, but not why it has persisted for decades. After a while it just became such a strong part of my identity that I now sport a dragon tattoo.

 

As a birthday card to myself I decided to draw one, curled in the symbol of infinity, which also happens to be the shape that my family has traditionally baked for birthdays a sweet bread made with saffron, raisins, orange peel and almonds instead of a cake with candles. :)

Ink drawing on plastic bottle

....I don't even know what to make of this colour. Scanning it. Photographing it.....nope. Not going to get anywhere near the weirdness in real life. Red? Orange? Touch of neon peach? It breaks with water to paler but even more messed up version of what it scans. I have no idea....aside from the fact that it is not to my tastes.

What I'm working on today. I'll explain it once I get the drawing finished.

I am making a little book of zentangle-patterns.

Inspiration: What if 007, Q & M were canines...

 

Result: MI-K9

 

Materials: Pentel 0.3 HB, Micron 005 & 02 pens, in a Moleskine plain journal

 

Location: At home

 

Note: Yeah more Skyfall inspired doodling....*cough*....this time thinking what breeds would Bond, Q and M be if the were dogs.

 

The answer...at least using my pretzel logic are the following ~ Scottish Deerhound/007 (big, loyal gun dog and...er ...Scottish), Border Collie/Q (always the smartest pup in the class...THE genius of the dog world) and British Bulldog/M (no explanation necessary) ~ but most important....ALL are native to the U.K... in case you were wondering.

Thank-you to Bureau Direct for this sample :)

Inspiration: Freezing Rain

 

Result: Not impressed by Mother Nature

 

Materials: Pentel 0.3 HB, Sakura Micron in a Moleskine Plain notebook

 

Location: home (waiting to leave before my trip was cancelled)

 

Note: I was supposed to go out of town this weekend but Mother Nature had other ideas and sent freezing rain to glaze my world like a giant ice encrusted donut. Power (and heat) just came back on after 12 hours.....and I am grateful it was ONLY 12 hours. I spent most of the day on the couch with blankets, cats and a book.

 

The book in case you were wondering: Salt Sugar Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us (a must read in my opinion)

Inspiration: Dr. Who

 

Result: Bow Ties are Cool!

 

Materials: Pentel 0.3 HB, Copic MultiLiner SP 0.03 in a Stillman & Birn Epsilon series sketchbook ( 21.6 cm 27.9 cm / 8 1/2" x 11")

 

Location: Home

 

Note: My 12 year old son and I have been watching a lot of Dr. Who lately and it's become a running joke around the house to just randomly proclaim that 'bow ties are cool!' I'm sure the owl Doctor has been done a bazillion times before but I just had to get it out of my system :)

My lovely muse today is Merlin, based on a photograph by Martin Usborne. Drawn with Platinum Carbon black and Kalligraphie Scriptorium's Oak Gall inks.

 

...working the permanent inks and having little nervous breakdowns daily, but getting braver.
