The shuffle has just taken place and the song is…

One By One All Day by The Shins

Ok I'm not familiar with this one, off to listen to it and to check out the lyrics. Catch you at the months end, hopefully.

Twilight Of The Innocents – Gallusness

It's the month start(ish) and it's time to unveil this months solution(s) to the shuffle.

Last weekend I went to my regular Dr Sketchy's Glasgow anti-art school drawing class. It was a steampunk special this month and the models were (largely) resplendent in Victorian/futuristic costume – Well at least until the burlesque element of the afternoon kicked in. This setting and the models (two of which are a couple in real life) made me think that it seemed like a fitting way to answer this months title. Twilight of the Innocents is a suitably apocalyptic track and their own War of the Worlds routine seemed in a similar vibe. I chose to use white conte on black sugar paper to tie in with the twilight idea.

I've uploaded a few of my sketches from the day, nothing too finished or styled. At Dr. Sketchy's you draw to the length of a song, or series of songs. Shown are a mix of 2 songs and 3 songs sketches.
