‘Hey Babe!’ Band Night
This was a girl-fronted band night at the Compass Theatre, it was wonderful! I Got to see Colour Me Wednesday, The Tuts, Perkie and Feralus. Most of these snaps are of The Tuts, Which I managed to get when they were sound-checking.

Brian Molko of Placebo
This was a pencil drawing I did years ago. I’ve lost the original and I can’t find the saved file anywhere, so I’ve nabbed it from my Blogspot.
Ink Sketch - Lana Del Rey
I woke up this morning really wanting to draw something. I was still in a silly dreamy mood and spent around 45 minutes on this inky sketch of Lana Del Rey, (I must find the source of the wonderful photograph I used for reference), before I ran to work and got there in the nick of time. I’m enjoying how people are finding it so difficult to define her.
