May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
He is my superhero. I absolutely adore him! He makes the days brighter. He is…the start, the middle and the end. The sun, the moon and the stars. He makes me feel alive and makes me want to live! Jim Kerr – you are all things to me. Beautiful, in every sense of the word….
It’s been the inspiration for a few art pieces, and the video is a fave. Jim is sssoooo frigging skinny in this video. He’s got his gammy eye and he is that heady mix of fledgling Laird Dash Fandango in his collared shirt and tailored trousers but with that bit of “gangster rough” with it….
“Don’t you have enough images of Jim?” I hear you ask? Erm…NO! Obviously not! Lol And with the number of images Virginia Turbett has of Jim ALONE, that is unlikely to change soon. I have only a few on my STRICT “shopping list” to go. Which will then have brought my collection of Virginia Turbett…
Had a go at tidying up the image of Jim in the SSIS fold-out poster with the 7” vinyl. Don’t know if any of you guys have a crease proof copy, but I don’t…and I have three of them! Lol. 30+ years of being folded up will do that. The crease stubbornly would fall all…
It’s the 1981 aesthetic. Jim wearing collared shirts and tailored trousers. All very Great Gatsby and just oozing sophistication and sex appeal. He looks like a 1940s film star. So I coined the nickname “Laird Dash Fandango” for him, to sum up the look and his stage presence at the time. Stills from the Sweat…
It’s a matter-of-fact title. I gave it a film effect and added a load of stars – hence: Film Star. I also hadn’t titled anything LDF for a while – and this picture is right in the period for which I give him that title. Laird Dash Fandango could very well have been a film…
I don’t know why…but after a while…it just becomes therapy. There’s a compulsion. It relaxes me. I hadn’t played with this one for a while. It’s the eyes. The eyes draw me in. By God, he is devastatingly gorgeous. I need to find out who the photographer of this photo is too. How can someone…
Oh, he’s like a fine wine…or a great cheese (I know! Lol. It’s a crap analogy, but I don’t drink wine…so I had to compare it to something I actually enjoy)…he has aged well. I never thought I would see a “mature” LDF…but, here he is. Look at that fine cut of a man! That…
I’ve been working on a massive art project. Massive for me, at least! My first proper piece of commissioned work. It has been both wonderfully exciting, yet laborious and stressful at the same time. The rewards await. The main reward being (not the monetary aspect, not the fact that my work will potentially be seen…
Jim Kerr – what a man! One day he can be snake-hipped frontman sex god – dressed head to toe in leather and OOZE sex! The next, he can be in a collared shirt, tailored trousers and loafers and look for all the world like a 1940’s film star – in his guise as Laird…
