Can I be one of the #runningpunks if I'm listening to Percy Faith?

@outonbluesix.bsky.social. I'm reading your book "Higher Than The Sun" and enjoying it immensely. It's helped me rediscover old 12" remixes I haven't heard since the year it came out. I now feel 35 years younger and will probably throw out a hip performing an ill-advised move. Thanks awfully.

16/365. Part 2 of Quint. I really don't hate this, even though I didn't get all his face in. #art #badart #digitalpainting

15/365 Quint from Jaws. Probably my favourite film. After the disaster that was the last portrait I am changing the rules a bit. If I'm enjoying the process, and want to carry on, I can extend them for another 30 mins. #art #badart #digitalpainting

14/365 Some days anything you touch turns to shit. This is without doubt the worst thing I've ever painted. I mean. Look at it. It is supposed to represent Julia Davis. Ah well. Tomorrow is another day. #art #badart #digitalpainting

13/365 on this day in nineteen somethingorother Folsom Prison was released. The album that is. Not the prisoners. For some reason I have made Cash fat. And given him a Penis for a nose #art #badart #digitalpainting

12/365 It would be wrong to paint the best Batman and not follow it up with the best Catwoman. I only wish I'd done Julie Newmar justice. Hair is difficult to do in 30 minutes #art #badart #digitalpainting

11/365. On this day in history, Batman appeared on telly for the first time in 1966. This was so much fun to do. Adam West is the best Batman ever.. #art #badart #digitalpainting

10/365. Nurse Ratched from One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. I stumbled across a photo of her today and was struck by her haircut. Whatever happened to cuts like that? Again, as portraits go, it's bobbins, but I think I'm improving. #art #badart #digitalpainting

9/365 Clive Dunn. Born today in 1920. He was younger than me when he took on the role of Jack Jones in "Dad's Army". I suddenly feel very old #art #badart #digitalpainting

8/365 Lady Ada Byron. The Queen of Engines in Gibson's novel. #art #badart #digitalpainting again I'm practising with limited palettes. I'm actually not totally appalled by this one. Mind. It still looks nothing like her.

7/365. Max Schreck. Still the scariest Nosferatu, although the new one is very good fun. I did this to experiment with painting using a much smaller palette. #art #badart #digitalpainting

6/365. Believe it or not, this was supposed to be Keeley Hawes, who I've just seen playing a brilliant part in Line Of Duty. I got all the tones utterly wrong, and spent the second 15 mins completely reworking what I'd done in the first 15. #art #badart #digitalpainting

5/365 George Costigan. Met him once for an interview. He was playing Byron and was a genuinely lovely bloke. This painting looks nowt like him. Sorry George. It does look more "painterly" than the stuff I've done to date though. #art #badart #digitalpainting

4/365. Nessa from Gavin & Stacey. They did a good job ending that series. A far better job than I managed in 30 minutes anyway. #art #badart #digitalpainting

3/365 of my 30 minute painting challenge. Today it is Fred Elliot from Coronation Street. I'm discovering that 30 minutes isn't nearly enough time for me to even get the basic undercoat on. #art #badart #digitalpainting

I'm going to do one 30 minute digital painting a day this year, to see if I'm getting any better. 1/365. Bernard Cribbins.
