HOTWHEEL!
Calling all beatles fans with a collection that
includes everything. I bet you don't have these
yet.
Hot wheels are making a 'yellow submarine' series
of toy cars. Including an actual yellow submarine.
They have used vintage 60's style cars in some of
their designs including the mini cooper (above)
and a VW camper van (below)
I was however surprised they didn't try and make
one in the shape of johns Rolls Royce.

Nearing an end?
I have been trying hard to be an artist for years now.
During that time people have tried to get one over on me,
put me down and so on. If it was people threatening to
call their lawyers unless i give them the rights to my
pictures for no real reason. Or if it be bitter women
telling me i cant make it, and never will make it.
I have just laughed most of them off, because these words
don't really effect me, not that much, they annoy me
sure, but not really hurt me.
Most of my art is no longer online, as some idiots have
made it their mission in life to report all my art on my
pages as soon as its put up.
But i have however got a few people who always are
nice to me and about my art. For them i have done
art work and i am pleased when they get it and enjoy
having my art in their homes. Its hard though.
Its hard not getting steady work, and its hard seeing
other artist who don't have the passion or love for it
that i do succeed with traced and photo copied artwork,
When i cant make it with my 100% original artwork
for prices much lower then others.
It is hard, and no one said it would be easy, but it takes
money to make money but as i have no money i cant
make much, so each day i slowly have found myself
doubting my art, and giving up on it. I used to draw
daily. Now i draw once or twice a week and spend
most my time panting old guitars or canvases.
But i know that the price i'd have to charge for the
materials and the time i put into my work i could
never sell it. I feel my hopes of being a professional
artist are nearing an end and i never ever thought
it would come to that.

It was 49 years ago today
It was 49 years ago today The Beatles released
their iconic album (as they all were) Sgt Pepper's
Lonely Hearts Club Band.
The first concept album, and the first ever album
cover to look this cool. I love sgt pepper
and i love all the songs on the album.
From the start to the finish, they are all amazing.
It is an album the likes of there will never be again.
An acid tripping album full of flowers and fun.
every music filled second of the album is
pure bliss... I didn't like this album that much to
begin with if i am honest, but i now love it.
But i do love all the albums, so there is nothing
new there.
But this is the best album to come out of the whole
psychedelic movement, and in my opinion was the
best thing to come out of 1967, and the top of
greatness for the whole flower power years.
Long live Sgt Pepper
