Jessie's Moleskine


Poseidon likes Jazz (micron pen & watercolour)


Laundromat Blues (assorted felts & markers)

''Sea bass'' was too corny, even for me. Still loving the jazz; there isn't anything that sounds quite like a double-bass! Laundromat blues is an old Rory Gallagher number (God bless him!) - the opening line always tickles me, ''whad'ya think of that?!, I'm sleeping down at the laundro-mat...''. Who hasn't spent an afternoon down the 'Mat without feeling sleepy? It must be the smell of soap and all that humidity. However, RG probably refers to his stay in a flat (apartment) in Earl's Court - above a laundromat.

Always love your work and commentary Ian. Your love of music shines through in your art so often. These are truly fantastic!

Poseidon jams on! I wondered what caused the waves. As a surfer, I hope Poseidon jams continually. Nice! Suds & Duds sounds like an old movie theater in Ft.Walton Beach Florida...Having some suds (beer) sitting at tall tables, with friends, in duds.

Love the Laundromat! I have a strange affinity for those hot linty smelling places.
