Notes from the sketch book

One more Day until the Journey is completed and we make it to Luds Church the location of The Green Knight's Chapel......   It all started last year when we happened to watch The Green Knight starring Dev Patel and based on the 14th Century poem. The story describes how Sir Gawain, a knight of King Arthur's Round Table, accepts a challenge from a mysterious "Green Knight" who dares any knight to strike him with his axe if he will take a return blow in a year and a day. Gawain accepts and beheads him, at which the Green Knight...

“You Are At The End Of Your Quest, Gawain. A Little Sooner Than You Expected, Perhaps. But Such Is The Case For Us All.” In 2021 a movie based on a 14th-century poem was released the epic fantasy adventure based on the timeless Arthurian legend, THE GREEN KNIGHT tells the story of Sir Gawain (Dev Patel), King Arthur's reckless and headstrong nephew, who embarks on a daring quest to confront the eponymous Green Knight, a gigantic emerald-skinned stranger and tester of men.

“I've been waiting for you, Obi-Wan. We meet again, at last. The circle is now complete.” Well, its the end of the Star Wars collection and we finish on a portrait of Darth Vader and Obi-Wan Kenobi. I have enjoyed sharing the Star Wars-related art but that will be the last of it for the foreseeable future as I move on to do some more obscure work and will be doing some painting over the next few months. I might release some of the t-shirt art ( AT-AT, Droids, That's No Moon) as lino print at some point, but I...

"You can't win, Vader. If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine." The new limited series dropped on Disney + today and I have just seen the first episode. The Jedi Master contends with the consequences of his greatest defeat -- the downfall and corruption of his one-time friend and apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, who turned to the dark side as evil Sith Lord Darth Vader. It's great to see Mcgregor back as Obi Wan and the first episode provided a 5 minute reintroduction of the prequels which actually made them look quite good. However...
