Viramontes has all the answers.

“I look for new ideas because I always want to be in a state of creative anxiety and insecurity. If I feel sure of myself I cannot be creative. I try to renew myself.”

Mitzi has finished helping me with the latest Tony Viramontes-inspired drawing. You can tell it’s not an original Viramontes because of something in the pic that was not around in the eighties (clue: it’s not Mitzi).

Power-dressing in a Tony Viramontes style. Drawn from the internet (in marker pen and torn paper), as my book is still AWOL.

Today’s note and illustration were supposed to be of the beautiful new book I bought, about Viramontes, Bold, Beautiful and Damned.

But... Royal Mail say they delivered it a day early to a secure location. What? Where?! Why?!

Lots of crying emojis.

Another bash at a Viramontes with a long-necked languid lovely. With my cat Mitzi giving it blue steel. I drew this with Procreate on the ipad with a “brushpen” and a “waterpen”.
