what a day...and jv
Monday, 02 June 2008
what a day... sunshine and shade - mates and late breakfast - tattoos and BBQs - swimming in Groomsport bay in our underwear - playing guitar in the garden at twilight - today has truly had it all.. the crescendo is surely that my close friends gave birth to their first child - a baby girl... the bump was referred to as 'Kid A' but I'm assuming she'll get a regular name any day soon:till then, enter Kid A...I'm doing a show tomorrow night with Joanne and all the work from the album... the last time I played in the face of it was recording the album, and being that the pieces are on sale and I may never play with them again I'm really looking forward to it. The works are truly striking, to be in front of... if you like paintings that is; which I do. Joanne's actually got a series going now with similar works... she had been focusing on portraits of her homeless friends but people are really responding to the work she did on the album and she's now working on a few commissions, people wanting old polaroids of them when they were kids immortalised on canvas. They've got a real vibe... a bit David Hockney and a bit of Edward Hopper and a lot of JV...
Anyway, I'm punctured so I'm going to bed... thanks for the questions incidentally, you really took that challenge seriously didn't you... I'll get them answered for you next week via a video blog or something; maybe we're entering a new phase in our relationship... fv
p.s. Joanne's site is now live (link above), so go check it out...
