I had to share just one more of these. Die Musikband unfortunately had to dis-band, and recently enjoyed the happy-sad feeling of playing a great final gig (thanks, friends and Crown people!). Here’s the poster I made. The band were all stoked with the idea of something that felt Soviet poster-ish, and this sort of coincided with Yuri Gagarin’s pioneer journey into space 60 years ago. Our bass player Karen is a massive fan, she urged me to include Vostok 1. In the foreground is the Cadbury’s building, viewed from our practice rooms, bandaged like a small-town Christo work, soon to be demolished for the new hospital. Lots of change.

Die Musikband had a fun mini-tour in December. This was my first attempt at properly drawing something with the tablet and stylus. I love the versatility but not so much the touch, compared to paper and pen or pencil.
