Going on holiday

I wont be posting anything for a week, i am going for 
a holiday a Butlins Minehead and i will of course,  on my way
there and when i get there in the town, be looking for 
anything that is related to the Beatles. 
Did you know.
The beatles filmed their train scenes from A Hard Days Night
in Minehead? And the fish and chip shop in Magical Mystery 
Tour is near Taunton. (only an hour from Minehead) 
See, there is a little bit of Beatles History everywhere you go. 
(by the way, the fish and chip shop is still there but now its 
an oriental take away)

Eight Day A Week

A new documentary is pretty much over taking all 
the Beatles pages on facebook and twitter, as the 
official Beatles pages let all the fans that have been
waiting for this film, know know when its coming out.
September. 
So only a few months to wait. And with the trailer 
showing the fab four in such high definition like you have 
never seen before, it seems to be driving everyone wild. 
Any fan of the Beatles must have surly been waiting 
a long time also for the release of this movie, as i have.
and i really cant wait for it to come out and i can 
watch and put it into my collection of Beatles dvds.

 So Proud

I can't even put into words how much i love you,
and am proud of you. 
you are an amazing girl, and need to be given 
more credit for just how much of a beautiful girl you are
inside and out.
And you should also be given more credit for being 
so sensible and so responsible. 
She is more caring and sensible then people twice, three 
times her age. At an age most girls would be going out 
to nightclubs, and having getting drunk, she is 
always there for me and i can always count on her.
I'm so proud of you.

Happy 74th

Today is the 74th birthday of the amazing and always
wonderful Sir Paul McCartney.  His music will live on forever,
and i am sure i'm not the only one who wishes he could also
live on forever. I hope one day to go see him live in concert. 
It would be so amazing. He puts on an amazing show, 
and never seems to stop touring. I don't know how he does it. 
Its hard to believe that at 74 he could be touring as much 
as he is. He always seems to be jetting from one place to 
another to greet another crazy audience who worship him 
as the near god like Beatle that he is.  He is one half of the 
most talented song writing partnership in history. 
Happy Birthday Macca. 
Love you.

A Hard Day's 'Write'

I have done many things, mostly artistic, but now, i am 
working on a story to base a movie on. I know that's 
a bit out there. But i am. At the moment i have written 
about the Ed Sullivan show, and now i'm writing
about around the time of a hard days night. 
I am not going to give out the whole story yet, but i 
can say the main character in it is a beatles fan, 
and the beatles feature heavily in it, but most of all 
John Lennon. What started as an idea to do when i 
was bored on a Sunday has turned into something i do
everyday now. Its not always easy trying to find the time, 
but its going very well so far.

The 15th Of Every Month

Me and Celeste got together on 15th Oct 2013 and every
month since then on the 15th of every month i wish her 
a happy anniversary. I know its not something most people
would do, but to me every month i get to be her's and 
she is mine, is a blessing. And every month i fall in love with
her just a little bit more. But i cant even put into words 
how much i love and care for this amazing beautiful girl. 
Shes my little Beatle babe and i love her.

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
