Levon Helm

Twanged on 6music this evening to hear the great live version of 'The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down' by The Band - not just a great version of this particlular song but a great live performance and recording of any song. On finishing, Gideon Coe remarked that it had been played as part of a tribute to The Band's singing drummer who'd died after a long battle with cancer, which I was unaware of. I'm a late convert to The Band and am still catching up, but this quick post is for Mr Helm. If you're interested in watching Levon & The Band performing the song live then click here (link good at time of post).

Always worth doing the time painting Dredd...

old blog header 2009

Back in the day when I started up this blog, the above image was my header. Doesn't do justice to the baby blues that the owner normally peered through, but they're still the coolest...Original image - acrylic paint on canvas board

Colour me Dredd

Just a wee sketch of my favourite fascist law man.

Bobby Womack cracks up

Here's a quick-ish colour sketch of Bobby Womack to help keep this blog alive. No particular reason other than I liked the reference image.
