Finished drawing of Christopher Hitchens, on display at Sourdough Bakery in Seddon as of Monday 12th of March, and for sale. In the background is the Grand Harbour of Valletta in Malta, where his first memories issue from. He tells it much better:
"I am standing on a ferry-boat that is crossing a lovely harbor. I have since learned many versions and variations of the word "blue," but let's say that a brilliant if slightly harsh sunshine illuminates a cerulean sky-vault and an azure sea and also limns the way in which these two textures collide and reflect. The resulting tinge of green is in lambent contrast with the darker vegetation on the hillsides and makes an almost blinding combination when, allied with those discrepant yet melding blues, it hits the white buildings that reach down to the edge of the water. As a flash of drama and beauty and seascape and landscape, it's as good an inaugural memory as one could wish."
This is my latest work - Rory Gallagher with his demons. He is surrounded by a Christ-head that is being devoured by serpents, and his beloved Ireland. Rory Gallagher is my favourite person, on many fronts, so it's only fitting that I draw him.
This is one of my largest drawings to date - it is almost A3 and this is the right hand side of it.

Henry is truly the most amazing cat - gorgeous in both looks and nature - and I don't care if I sound mushy and lachrymose saying that. Plus, he is named after Henry Miller.
