Sadness Graces my Grubby Toilet Window book

My grubby Toilet window book for the past few Months has been a copy of John Peels Autobiography. As he never finsihed it, half is written by his wife with a lot of honesty, openess and Love.
As I near the final pages a sadness and a turning away from it is starting to occur. I dont want to go to that place of regrets. I to used to clutch a demo tape in the hope of giving it to the one man who might play it on air. The hope of a kid who knew of nothing except music and art.
Nothings changed except the world know is content flooded. He used to listen to demos day in day out. I wonder how he could of coped with Soundcloud? 
Its not weird that I dread that part, iits like the tension in a movie your seen a hundred times. Allthough I've already been there it holds the loss. Whilst I read of his life he lives when I reach his end he is no more but a memory again and I read something else, about science, or maths, and his is no more. Maybe thats why its poiniant.....

15.12.11 - Daily Doodle The perfumed Garden Metallic Grinder Pulp

sharkflcr
I'm really fond of todays Doodle had the usual inner debate over which way up tp turn it.

Been listening to The Perfumed Garden' the last John Peel show on Radio London before it was taken off  the air. Got to say the more Early TRex I heard the more I like it, essentially Marc Bolan is simply playing the Blues, extremely whimsical blues, but the real stuff never the less.

Please comment, discuss it makes my Day, Enjoy the Doodle.

My Brother in Law tells me a Post a Day is putting people off from Commenting. What do you quiet bunch out there think? Plus What Do you think I should focus the body of the post on, Theres the Music, The Disabilities and Coping with them, Or purely about my Art? Any Opinions Welcome.

The Music..
Currently listening to a lot of early T-Rex when they were known as Tyrannosaurus Rex  in my opinion a much cooler Name. Heres a video to give you a feel...

 Introduced by the awesome John Peel heres Sara Crazy Child Real blues gone roots crazy. Takes a minute to start long intro.




Heres another Blinder she was born to be a unicorn.

This Doodle was done on A3 card and I coloured it with my new set of Pro Markers, not quite as warm as my other markers but really cool colours nevertheless.

21st November 2011 - The Three Distractions or Distracted by Good Things

 Now Thats a Mouthful!

1st Good Distraction

Its a Awesome Book. Currently my Toliet Book XD Always the best place to read  I think its because you know John Peels voice so well when your into truly different music so much. He speaks to you on a totally human level without any kind of Ego it seems. He was just the man who brought the music to the airwaves, he thought. I think he was much more Read It.


2nd Good Distraction 



Ive mentioned it in Passing, but I have a De-generative Eye Condition  called RP. In short in 10 years I will be Legally Blind if Im lucky Ive got a few more years on top of that. 

How is this a Positive Distraction? you say. Well its not, but joining a select group of people on facebook who can talk openly about how they cope with this has helped me a lot. The group is the Visually Impaired/Blind Men's Group If your  guy like me who is losing his sight they can be a real help. A Big thanks to tem for turning my gloom around yesterday.

If you can see the humor in tradegy you may just be allrght :)
 

3rd Good Distraction
