35 years on

An oldie but a goodie. This is me in the 1980s. Life goes in cycles. I'm a lot older. Some things have changed, some haven't. 

I still - love the sea and Fleetwood Mac, prefer drawing to painting, don't belong in the human world, prefer solitude, feel too much, maintain the rage, want to leave the planet.

What's changed - my body aches, I see more grey, I'm more compassionate, I'm less selfish, I'm tired of being angry, I'm more grateful.

I've had this illustration sitting in a folder for ages but only yesterday figured out what these guys are saying to each other. 

I tend to move between a couple of styles of illustration and can't quite settle on one. I like the simplicity and retro feel of this style though.
