And the stars look very different today...

Just over a week ago a great artist left us and, not having come to terms with it or my efforts to mark his passing, I have created this caricature tribute. This is the pencil rough from which I will develop the finished piece. This will take a while but, once complete, maybe I will begin to find the will to finish this chapter of his story.

It hit the world hard, you need only cast a glance at social media to see that, but that which he left behind will endure. As long as there are broken souls to heal or burning hearts to quench...his music will be there. As long as there are minds to blow or lives to change...David Robert Jones will be there to guide us...and, in his tender care, we will find our way home.

The Eyes have it...

That which inspires also challenges,informs...and sometimes changes. 

When transcendent, however, this inspiration opens an eye in the heart which can never close again. 

But, as with all things, even transcendence must pass...and when it passes the World fractures. 

Into that fracture pours all expectation, grief, agony and worship.

Finally, all that remains is etched in the soul...eternal.

And that which remains....is...LOVE.

Sons of the Silent Age, they never die they just go to sleep one day.

Back to The Goldbergs

Finished at last...just in time for "Back to the Future" day; a tribute to two of my favourite things (three if you count Drew Struzan) "Back to the Future" and "The Goldbergs". If you've not seen either...what have you been doing with your time?

Hope this hit's the spot...HAPPY BACK TO THE FUTURE DAY, everyone!

Been very busy recently so neglected my posting duties. Here is the next stage (finished ink line) of my Goldbergs tribute...should all be coloured up and done before Xmas.

Right, that's Adam F. Goldberg's Christmas present taken care of!
