Pedro UK - Searching for light

I've been doing music video artwork for my friend Pedro UK. Some of them have turned out nicely. Pedro UK's music is great as well. The drawings are all done with pen and colored pencil. I used 'Paint' to assemble the covers. Tumblr only lets me upload one video per post so I uploaded Pedro's song "Then 2" (below). The other videos are uploaded on YouTube.

While we're on the subject, if anyone knows anyone who needs cover artwork done for video's or CD's I'm open for business.

Cheers.

Youth and innocence

pencil drawing

Culver City 1977

This is an old one. 1977.

I can still remember drawing it. I was living at the time, with someone special, in an apartment in Culver City, with a big double bed. When she came home that night she loved it.

I stlll have this drawing tucked away in one of my drawers.

And I still have my memories tucked away in my mind.

Colored pencil plus

Los Angeles 2015

I did the drawing then, I confess, I photocopied it and played with the color a bit then I pasted a mirror image of it back onto itself. It's kind of a mess. But also it's kind of fun. Like my life. Hahaha

Los Angeles CA 2018

I had that dream again last night.

I dream I'm in a differen city looking for a place to live. I'm alone, searching with this longing feeling deep in my soul.

I've been having this dream for years.

When I wake up I'm so relieved.

THE SEEDS

Back before the Sex Pistols, before the Ramones, before the New York Dolls, back before all of them, The Seeds were Punk.

The Seeds were Punk not so much because of their music but because The Seeds were... Punks.

In 1966 The Seeds owned Sunset Blvd.

"Come back baby, cuz I'm all alone"

OMG my father hated these guys hahaha

Snails

pen drawings

Los Angeles 2017-2018

Do snails dream? And if snails dream, of what do they dream?

Do snails dream of wet clover and fresh lettuce?

Do adolescent snails have wet dreams and leave little snail nuts on the morning grass?

So cute.

Message to Michael - Dionne Warwick

Just because I love this song.

We're going on a road trip today. Up to the north coast of the Island. We'll pack the van with my kids and ten or so cousins. And lots of food. And have fun 🤣

Let me tell you about blue...

The Pacific ocean is so beautiful.

After Munch

I absolutely adore Edvard Munch but here's the deal.. If you search for Munch's art you're going to get like a million copies of "The Scream" which is a great painting sure, but there is so much more to Edvard Munch than "The Scream."

Anyway, IMHO, Edvard Munch is a wonderful artist and if you like drawing he is certainly someone well worth studying.
