After a two month gap, I received a new piece today in the mail from George Kovats, Co, USA, rendered in pen and coloured pencil. I thought this project had run its course but if anyone else out there still has a new take on the monster, I'd love to see it.

Gallery 117 Happy Christmas

Here's a little Festive Frankie I knocked up with pen and watercolours this afternoon to wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy new year.
Thanks a million to everybody who has contributed or visited this year and made this a very enjoyable project.


My daughter Jamie, who's 12, has also entered into the Christmas monster spirit, here's her Chrimbo Creature.

Thanks to friend of Patchwork, wiec? for this fantastic Christmas present. It's a miniature Frank portrait painted with acrylics on canvas. A very merry Christmas to you wiec? and all the regular visitors here.

Christmas Podding

My neighbour and fellow blogger Mondo does a regular podcast with his mucker Piley called Podrophenia. For their Xmas broadcast they asked me to join in, choose a couple of festive nuggets and blather on about Christmas related nonsense. If you fancy checking it out for a few Christmas tunes you aren't likely to hear anywhere else this Chrimbo, go here.

Wow, after a wait of almost a month, I've received a package of monsters in the mail.
They come from Suzie Garner who is an art teacher at Mesa State College in Grand Junction, Colorado, USA.

Suzie writes, "I gave this as an assignment to my sketchbook students. I gave them the cards and I told my students that I would pay the postage on their submissions if they wanted to participate. They have the option of keeping them too. Most of my students are typical college age around 21 to 23 I think. They tend to be at least 21 in that class since there are some prerequisites to get into the course. So they are juniors and seniors typically. The class itself is called "ARTS 360 Sketchbook"


The first submission is Suzie's own, followed by a selection of works that she sent me as email attachments. These are the cards that her students decided to keep I think, as they were not in the envelope I received today. I will scan the cards that arrived in the post and upload them over the course of the week.

You Got Good Taste

Thanks to Chocolategirl64 who tagged me ~
I have to pass this tag to fellow bloggers who love the same music I do.

Rules are:

1. You have to post a song that makes you happy.
2. You can tag as many people as you want, there is no limit.
3. Say at least one thing about each blog you tag, that will make them smile, something nice about their blog that makes you smile when you read it!

I saw The Death Set at The Railway earlier this year, it was one of the smallest turn-outs I've ever seen at a gig but the band gave it absolutely everything and it was a brilliant night. I defy you not to be singing this for days after you've listened to it a couple of times. Great vid too.



The blogs I'm gonna tag are:
Iron Leg - good tunes guaranteed, especially if you dig a bit of 60s garage/ psyche.

Short Sharp Kick in the Teeth - for all that's good in obscure Punk, Powerpop, Ska, Indie and Alternative vinyl.

David Lee Ingersoll has been posting a step by step guide to how he created the eight part card set submitted here. For those of you who haven't seen it, you really should, here is the link.
David actually carried on working on the piece in Photoshop after he had it sent it in so I have asked him if I can share the finished piece with you.
