Rainy day in Ryde, Isle of Wight 2011
On a rainy day, sat in the window of Chocolate Apothecary, Ryde Esplanade, Isle of Wight 2011.
Another postcard drawn on the same day here.
Herne Hill
Herne Hill, or Poet’s Corner as some call it. This view is from Pullens. I gave the postcard to the restaurant owner, so this is a scan of a photocopy of the original postcard – which is the best I have.
Talons hauts de Foy
Someone left their shoes. I took the opportunity to draw them before returning to their rightful owner!

Can’t help but smile seeing my postcard shown next to Ralph Steadman’s, a bit of a drawing hero of mine!

75 Lark Lane
Just been sent this by a friend. It’s a drawing I did in Lark Lane, Liverpool, in a flat above Balbero’s Bakery – which is still there 21 years on.
The drawing is circa 1997. We are trying to establish when the TV (look how antiquated a Cathode Ray Tube set looks now!) was still in the central room position, to the corner later. All I remember watching on it is footie, Lars being football mad, and Father Ted. The rest of the time we played music. That’s a 12 string guitar there. I recorded some early Car Wreck Chicken songs on it. Lars says the guitar went missing in a move from Liverpool to Brighton. Hopefully someone is getting good use out of it.
Cats loved big tellys because they were warm at the back and the top (if not covered in photos – I think that’s maybe George and Ringo up there) was comfortable for cats to sit on. When did you ever see a cat sit on a flat screen LCD? The TV is propped on a washing machine drum
Everything about this drawing seems antiquated. CDs, CRT telly and massive stack sound system. Welcome to the future.
