Some quick drawings I did before the demonstration began.

Planned on drawing much more, but I was too excited and happy for that.

Lovely Day

Sunday, April 3rd, 2011

Listened repeatedly to Stevie Wonder today. Here’s You Are the Sunshine of My Life, the opening track from his 1972 album Talking Book. Stevie’s music always make me so happy and content, and it has to be saved for especially good days, when the air smells like flowers.
 

 

Sick in Bed Post pt.2

Wednesday, January 12th, 2011

After seating with a friend at night, drinking ice-cold beer for a few hours – we both got sick.

Looking back on that evening, and listening to the news on the radio, made me think there is something so hopeless and desperate about these nights.

We try to feel happy and normal and talk about LIFE, while things around us just seem to get politically and socially crazier and crazier. I’m not saying anything new here, I know…

This thought reminded me of this Sinead O’connor song Drink Before the War, which is also pretty hopeless and desperate (turned out to be a very depressing post, sorry about that).

Finished Small Notebook

When the book is closed, it feels like I’m holding a heavy piece of my life in my hand.

NCDC* Project: Unknown Pleasures

Monday, November 22nd, 2010



 
I first heard a Joy Division song on mix tape given to me when I was 17 or so (thank god for big sisters and their boyfriends). It was exactly what I needed at that time.

I bought Unknown Pleasures, their first album, and was blown away. Still am – it’s brilliant.

Of course the genius cover design by Peter Saville didn’t hurt either.
Ian Curtis is one of those musicians that really touch me deeply with his lyrics and voice.

Do you, dear reader, happen to have a memory or a story related to Unknown Pleasures or Joy Division in general? I would love to read about it if you feel like sharing.
