May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
All things related to Mr Jim Kerr
This is near as I am ever likely to get of interviewing Jim myself, so….in keeping with the current loose theme of the blog and the imminent anniversary date of the release of Life In A Day, here are some words from Jim on the subject. The interview is nearly 10 years old now. Would…
A song makes you happy. This video though. I want this played on my deathbed in an endless loop… Those snake hips… *sigh*
Yep! Still loving the holga setting! And the 1982 aesthetic is hitting bad too. The heavy eye makeup and the pallid skin tone…ERMAGERD! Imma gonna say it…this man is beautiful! #SorryNotSorry This could almost have me revisiting the old Laird Dash Fandango stuff. Ooh…now, there’s a thought!
I do go through artistic repetitive cycles… The one I am currently stuck in is the use of holga and multiple representations of Jim…and geometrics. Bringing out my academic slant in my artistry. I have always loved maths, even if I am bloody shit at it. Lol

Only time will tell! Let’s see… Stay tuned, folks! And….just…
The Mister has been talking about Lead Singer Syndrome again today. And podcasts. He does like listening to podcasts. Doesn’t sound like he’d be much company for a hike with, if he’s preoccupied with listening to podcasts, audiobooks and whatnot. Does he actually TALK to anyone? Lol. I will never stop hoping and praying that…
Oh, sometimes things just come about so wonderfully. There’s a jumbled up letters preset on one of my photo editing apps and I love using it with images of Jim because…he’s a magician with words in my eyes. This just looks like a painting ready to be done. Oh, and I ssooo want to do…
In other news from the past 24 hours, I was stunned to wake and see this response waiting for me this morning. Like a mangey feral street dog, I’ll happily take any morsel I can get! ? (Can you tell I’ve missed him? “Noooooooo!” says everyone with faux shock. Lol) Again, thanks for the response…
