The initial trials with Lady Sailor...
Lady Sailor is a piece I'm working on for a PCM project at the Hope Street hoardings round the side of Sainsburys in Portsmouth. The Portsmouth City Council have been nice enough to let us decorate their (our) city, and contribute to some of the costs incurred. They should all be big pieces a fair few meters high, which is nice. This one is on an old bit of hardboard, but should look better on a white background. I'm pretty happy with the seven layers though. There will be more parts to come on the final piece.

Fresh Art!
Found some time to play with the cans again. Missed it really, as painting indoors tends to stink the place out! Here's a couple of canvases I knocked up: Miles and MF Doom.
Give us a shout if you want one.

Blogging only works when you're bored...
...I'm pretty sure it isn't just me that suffers from a serious inability to blog as frequently as maybe I should. The demands of a profession that dictates my every concious and unconscious moment is largely to blame for my blog-apathy. I could be all the other stuff going on too... Essentially time is my scapegoat. Either way, this only seems to work when boredom sets in, which is pretty lame on my part.
Consider the following a catch up of sorts, if only an exercise in catching up with my own thoughts. Indulgence if you will.
Winter is a cruel mistress. The recent snow downfall has provided some welcome respite from the day-to-day-to-day job though. Snow days are something of legend round these parts, rocking horse shit etc...
Before the snow, the festive period induced some serious stomach upset usually reserved for the food intolerant. Fajita seasoning has a particular ability to rupture and destroy stomach linings, and for this I will always be respectful of the power of Mexican powder. The brandy, lovage, gin and Guinness diet had nothing to do with it... ahem.
Musically Aeroplane Attack have been quiet of late. We've been dealing with the departure of our good buddy Newboy to pastures new (Stockport). As a result we've been finding our own feet in a band with loads more musical space, and missing the presence of one of life's great social ambassadors. Couple that with the pressures of writing new material, and you get the feeling we're a band in transition.
I've missed writing at home over the last year. During a recording take with Starski some months back I managed to freeze/crash/ruin my previous studio PC in one swoop. All of my previous six years worth of work and samples/recordings were essentially entombed until last month. 250 odd quid has somehow managed to buy me a (skint January) pretty sweet machine and soundcard. The bedding in period is ongoing.
A result of this is I have been able to address my Shawshank Redemption jones (a detailed metaphor for my current employment crisis - I am Andrew Dufrane) and by way of a homage, I'm re-working parts of the soundtrack written by Thomas Newman. Again, boredom prevailing, I'll upload some results.
I'll try to be back soon.
