Cheeky Freaky Squeaky

 The Moshpit has only a month left but still putting on great shows until the end. Yesterday Whateva Eva organised one of her fabulously mad matinees with lots of wonderful short sets. The Cheeky Freaky Squeaky show

Merch

 I've created a shop on Rebbubble and put 7 designs up so far on shirts, dresses, pillows, backpacks, mugs and more

 

for example, a galah on a singlet

 

or a summer frock

 

 

 And another, a climbing lily from mum's garden

 

 

There's plenty more, please browse the designs at https://www.redbubble.com/people/Subgeometric/explore?page=1&sortOrder=recent

Fig Tree Bole

 

 

The base of a Port Jackson fig in the park on the corner of Glebe Point Rd and Bridge Rd I drew as I waited for someone

 

Swaggerland at the Marrickville Bowlo

Bronwyn Aether and Paul Vassallo, now with the power of a rhythm section(sorry I have forgotten their names, I'll fix once I find out)

 

I'll soon add this to my bands and performance page where you can see hundreds of drawings and paintings of bands and other performers

Valentitanic Trio at the Townie

I went to the Townie to see the Valentitanic Trio, now playing as a quartet (of course)

 

 Valentitanic Trio  - Josh Shipton, Mike Kennett, Alia Josephine and Tim Bryant

 

Fabulous Contraption

 I'll soon put a link to this and a drawing on my Bands and Performance page. It has hundreds of drawings paintings of performance  and music from the last decade or so. Check it out!

Fabels at Alpha House

 I went around the corner from Springfest III to Alpha Gallery where Fabels did a show. Hiske had an exhibition of her paintings hanging there as well. I drew by the shifting light thrown by the video projection the play under so it's a super loose drawing

 I collect links to all the music and performance drawings I do here, as well as a selection of images, so do go and have a look. Sometime soon I'll update to include this one

 

Springfest at Moshpit

 Thanks to Eva Whateva for arranging Springfest III with a jampacked lineup of poets and musicians through the afternoon and evening. Here are drawings of some of them

Suburban Bukowskis (Benito wearing a red nose - in fact the whole band were wearing them to start, but I wasn't quick enough)

 

Whateva

 

 

 

The New Newtown Newts

 

The Rosemary Sisters

 

 

NOF - a bit of a fragmentary drawing

Josh Shipton (not the greatest likeness I've ever drawn)

 

I collect links to all the music and performance drawings I do here, as well as a selection of images, so do go and have a look. Sometime soon I'll update to include this one

Antipodes Roadkill Presents ...

 A Saturday afternoon show at Moshpit yesterday featuring Sharkarm, Gravel Sandwidge, Molly Fet Circuit, as well as Pallet, who I arrived too late to see.

Gravel Samwidge

 

A pretty loose drawing of Sharkarm - kind of a warmup

 

I also drew Molly Fet Circuit, but Sean (who played an amazing pair of patchboard synths) bought it after the show. (Thankyou!) I'll add it here when he sends me a photo

 

After the show was over we went down to the Golden Barley and saw the Ramalanas and another band(but I ran out of paper)

Sometime soon I'll put a link to these drawings on my bands and performance page.

I'm going to select a bunch of these drawings soon to publish as a book.

Burning Refinery

 Unlike a lot of the refinery and oil industry fires recently this was set off by an earthquake in Turkey. This is in Iskenderun

 

.

 

Bruce of Woolloomooloo

 It's great to have seen brush turkeys recolonising urban areas in the past couple of decades with the expansion of tree cover and since dogs and cats haven't been running loose like they once did.

This is Bruce, Urban Regeneration Faculty member at the University of Woolloomooloo

Smoked Salmon at Petersham Bowlo

 Kim Salmon and his band launched their latest album last night at Petersham Bowling Club. Kim is as great as ever and they played some old and some new, and for an encore lead the audience in a rousing rendition of 'I'm a Dropout" - originally a Scientists song written by Kim Salmon and James Baker, but never recorded

Thanks to Sam from I Am Duckeye for send a photo of their drawing
