May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
The year started well. I was in Australia. I was with my mum. The weather was unseasonably cool. And then I created a little piece of fan art that blew my socks off! I had been doing these little pieces of “art”, just little highlights to Simple Minds song lyrics that particularly struck a chord…
As promised, the next few days will see me share some Virginia Turbett favourites. Not all of them wil be of SM or Jim, but today’s two are. I’m sharing these ones today because, well obviously I have seen these images of Jim several times, but I had never seen them accredited to Virginia until…
It’s absolutely no secret Virginia Turbett is just about my favourite photographer, ever.

As embarrassing as it is to share a picture of my cushion….coming into the bedroom to get myself ready for the day…the way the sunlight was falling on his face looked beautiful. I know! How bad do I have it?! Lol
I made an art piece based around the reply I got from Jim last year about my favourite precise point and sound on New Gold Dream (the track itself). It remains, still, one of my favourite replies from him. The more I read it, the more I sense he was slightly taking the mickey, but…

And like Spirited Away, I just…
