So in a week or so I’m off on tour again. Here’s two creepy eye plants i drew to share the facts. 

In Italy I’ll be solo, with a bag, a guitar and the Italian railway system. I’ve not travelled on my own for a while so i’m especially looking forward to the solitude of long train journeys. And going to many places i’ve never been before. Italy is largely uncharted territory for me. If you know someone in or around these places do tell them to come and say hello. Then i’ll have a stranger-friend to drink the wine with.

(I will update the eye-flyer with the Mantova venue as soon as i know. And i think there will be a gig on the 31st too - somewhere in North Italy, i’ll let you know when i find out)

In France I’ll be reunited with my band in Strasbourg on the 2nd November, which just happens to be my 30th birthday. I did try and book it off over one and a half years ago. But i took both Gus (saxophone) and Sam (double bass) on 8 hour tour drives for their birthdays, so i suppose i deserve it. It’ll be a fun night. I might make some costumes and cake. Give the whole thing a sense of occasion. The 2nd Novemeber is Dia De Los Muertos (the Mexican Day of the Dead) so i’m thinking skeletons and sugar skulls.

We have a secret show somewhere in Paris between the 4th and the 6th… Ask around and you might beable to find out where it is and a way in. It’s so secret i don’t know myself. The rest of that time you’ll most likely find me skulking round Pere Lachaise doing some drawings. There’s nothing quite like a graveyard in Autumn. Come say hello.

Some more Creepy Eye Plants.

After that phase where all i drew was human hands. And that phase where i only drew bird men. I think all i’m going to be drawing for a while is eye foliage. 

Good.
