Bande-son:  The Gerbils - Are You Sleepy?

I tried to draw something today and failed. Got annoyed with it and threw it away. All I seem to be good at these days is getting depressed and getting drunk... Never mind. Here is something I did for a friend's band called The Nurse Novels. I drew it just after reading A Farewell To Arms and it's kind of what Catherine looks like in my head.

New gig Poster

Feat the excellent Papier Tigre, RM Hubbert and Cantaloupe. (I don't know about Crash of Rhinos, I've never heard them) (What, I'm not organising the blooming thing!)

 
Also, I'm very much looking forward to my gigtastic weekend: Grouper on Saturday and Bill Wells & Aidan Moffat on Sunday. Yesss

Edit: I didn't go to Grouper cause Simmo was too tired, but Aidan Moffat was all kinds of wonderful so I will try to draw something about it...

Endearing madness

Once a week we do our fruit & veg shopping in a greengrocers called "Thompson Brothers", which is run by - I kid you not - a completely bat-shit crazy pair of 50-something identical twins. They never stop talking about the most ludicrous things, always have inane anecdotes they just have to tell you, and constantly lie for no apparent reason. Oh, they talk in old money as well. I think Simmo is in love with them. Here is an article about them from the Left Lion and a drawing I did of what it's like to go there (a bit like a weird acid flashback, actually):

Here is something that cheered me up the other day

Bande-son: Songs: Ohia - Didn't It Rain

Sometimes cats will take a break from being selfish arseholes and will comfort you when you feel like shit...
