I watched this a few weeks ago and was blown away. Terrific show!
A pencil drawing of Damo Suzuki who did a stint as frontman of band Can in the early ‘70s. An incredible, distinctive performer and all round top bloke.

Do you want a plate special?
…Yeh.
Do you want pie? Harry?
Another #TwinPeaks piece featuring #SherilynFenn as #AudreyHorne. Another iconic character, another tragic arc. A nod to the wonderful music that further elevated the drama & emotional intensity of this amazing show! #davidlynch #angelobadalamente #ost #birodrawing #mixedmedia #floatinghead #rockin
Looks like it’s sticking its tongue out at you.
A portrait of Russ Tamblyn as Dr Amp (neé Jakobi) from Twin Peaks The Return. Im happy to report today that the actor is still with us and recentlyy turned 91. Happy days! (He was also great in Neil Young’s Human Highway). #drjakobi #dramp #twinpeaks #russtamblyn #portrait #waxcrayon #art #3dglasses
A pen portrait (coloured with filtered sunlight) of master bassist Mike Watt who formed the legendary Minutemen with childhood friend D Boon in Jan 1980. Through thick & thin, at 68, Mike is still rockin‘. #mikewatt #bassguitar #minutemen #twfps (TheWattFromPedroShow) #penart #portrait #alternative
A high exposure filter seems appropriate for this Gloria Swanson portrait, drawn from the 1950 Sunset Boulevard movie poster. Botd 1899.

#Portrait of #moviestar and #hollywoodicon Joan Crawford.
Born on this day 190?!!
Popular opinion of her is broad and conflicted. I just know I really liked the film Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?

I’m new here!
Thought I’d get started with a recent quick drawing of #jamesjoyce. His playful use of language inspires me, something I try to engage with in my art.
