<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">'What's He Building?' may well be my favourite Tom Waits song, and I've been keen to illustrate it for a long time. Wanting to do things properly, I applied for a licence to use the lyrics, which I really should have got around to doing a lot earlier than being more than halfway through a fairly lengthy and substantial drawing project. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The people at Third Party Music were very helpful, but the publishers have refused permission, so I've had to pack it in. It was always a possibility but it's still disappointing to have to abandon it. However, i</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">t was fun while it lasted, although I was a bit stuck on how to successfully illustrate "a consulting business in Indonesia" in a single interesting panel. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Some crumbs of lyric may be discernible in these extracts so I hope publishing this post doesn't trigger a fleet of black limousines to emerge sharklike from the underground car park at Universal Publishing and I make it plain that<b> none of this</b> is for sale at all anywhere to anyone in any form whatsoever.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I was inspired by and envious of Dan Berry's lovely illustrations for the Handsome Family's "<a href="http://www.thingsbydan.co.uk/2016/06/after-we-shot-the-grizzly-2/" target="_blank">After We Shot the Grizzly</a>" not least because he "got in touch with Rennie and Brett and they said go for it." </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Ah well.</span><br />

They've moved into the end flat of the terrace in the last couple of days.<br />
<br />
This is what they were treated to this morning.<br />
<br />
They see their neighbour from two doors down emerge from his house. They notice that, despite occasionally leaving the house in a smart suit, he is still unshaved, unwashed and in his pyjamas at ten o' clock on a weekday morning.<br />
<br />
Having come outside, he then starts to frantically remove his dressing gown, simultaneously desperately and with great care. Dressing gown removed,he puts it on the wall and inspects it very carefully. He steps back and leaves it on the wall. He looks at it. He looks around. He goes back indoors.<br />
<br />
He re-emerges some seconds later, now having removed another couple of layers of clothes. He is gripping his left arm.<br />
<br />
He performs some sort of dance, shaking his left arm while gripping it round about the elbow.<br />
<br />
A small and active mouse falls out of his sleeve and runs across the lawn.<br />
<br />
The neighbour goes back inside.<br />
<br />
He does not even say 'good morning.'Rich Johnsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12389869753996834665noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2816364415402523933.post-32496063392576872712016-04-10T13:40:00.001+01:002016-04-10T13:40:13.320+01:00Telling Porcies<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm a late convert to Studio Ghibli films, but I'm absolutely under their spell.

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The question of when a painting is finished is sometimes a tricky one. This landscape, <i>Heather Burning on Feuar's Moor,</i> I had in a gallery in Edinburgh for a couple of months, and I'm a bit uncomfortable now that it was out in the public eye for such a long time because when I got it back it was pretty obvious to me that it wasn't done.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm still not quite convinced it's as unrestrained as I want it, but it's getting to the stage when that may have to happen in another painting. I'm certainly a lot happier with it than before. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The small squares I paint stop me getting bogged down in detail, and this is another attempt to </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">take that uninhibited, textured spontaneity</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> that I find easier to get in the small squares and scale it up to the much larger canvas. It's not there yet, but it's coming, I think.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This painting is actually a sort of collage of different light effects and perspectives we saw as we travelled down the valley past the hill under the smoke from the heather burning, and the intention was to try and capture something of that sense of expansive movement and colour and light across the space of the land and the sky. It was quite a wonderful experience and I may well come back to it.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I never set out for this to be a series when I started with a dredger in Berwick harbour, but I think this is the twentieth fishing boat portrait I've done. I don't seem to be getting tired of it, either, as I've another one on the way.</span><br />

We went to pilates class this morning, and then I spent all afternoon humpbacked at the drawing board thoroughly re-crabbing my posture. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I haven't sat down to draw for what feels like a long time; I've had a head full of homework and reports and targets targets targets, so it was pleasing to put a fence around all of that and spend a few much-needed hours just <i>drawing</i>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm working on a small set of portrait drawings which will eventually (I hope) be on display in the <a href="http://www.bonpapillon.com/" target="_blank">Bon Papillon gallery</a> in Edinburgh, run by Stuart and Ingrid. We have Ingrid's splendid <a href="http://www.ingridnilsson.co.uk/" target="_blank">work</a> in the Coldstream Gallery and I recognised her straight away someone who shares an interest in laughing at funny-looking people with odd names. </span><br />

You end up mixing in some odd things to try and get that indefinably vague almost non-colour colour. Or just colour your trees all purple. That works too.</span><br />

There were some fantastically exciting skies. I went up the road and stood in a field gate and watched a storm cloud trundle past and it was like watching one of Philip Reeve's moving cities go rumbling past. I'm working up some new squarescapes as a result. This is how they're shaping up.</span></span><br />

Stripes stripes stripes, fins fins fins, eyeball eyeball eyeball. It was with great reluctance then that I agreed to do another one, but it was a present for a friend and frankly I was being paid money. But definitely this time, no more mackerel.</span><br />
