Here’s one of my current works-in-progress: a collage of my mini drawings of albums by Beatles. About 30 more to go! I’ve been listening to some of the less familiar ones while drawing. Two Virgins is much funnier than I remembered.

Look at this! Stunning work.

I’ve been gardening a lot in the last week. My favourite thing about this is getting to spend time with my supervisor who is never far away.

I was thinking of doing this an April Fool joke, but it seemed too low stakes, so here it is as a vague thing. The Top Cat theme tune re-edited to match the anti-commercial impulses of the BBC. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zbH...

This week Listing Dangerously visits 1985 to mull over the comic timing of falling objects, watch Sylvester McCoy get off his tits on coke, mourn the death of Michael Praed during peak rate hours, and celebrate the non-rocket-pointing achievements of James Burke. open.substack.com/pub/historyo...

A finished oil painting. This was based on a photo I took in about 2011, intending to paint it at the time. I got as far as sketching the basics onto a board but I put it away, until last month. It’s been an enjoyable challenge to get it to a point where I’m happy with it.

Another brilliant insight into the world of Bob:

Inspired by seeing @kristianpurcell.bsky.social’s photos of his beautifully organised studio I thought I’d take some pics of my creative corner at the bottom of the garden. I’ve had it set up for about 15 months and I love it.

I’m just going to stop what I was doing because I just heard this song for the first time in a while and I think it deserves to be shared. Amongst many great things about it, RT’s singing is incredible.

This might be finished! But I’ll have another look later to help me decide.

Getting there! Or at least getting closer.

Excellent day for space news!

This is superb! Douglas Camfield was obviously an outstanding television director and Tim has done a brilliant job of exploring what it was that made his work so distinctive. The alternative Duel soundtrack is fascinating and brilliantly put together.

I was close to abandoning this portrait a few days ago but now it’s heading back in the right direction.

Some more of my hand-drawn discographies in progress: Curtis Mayfield, Richard Thompson, and Iggy Pop.

Beatles, Bowie and Bob. Some of my mini drawings, collaged into themed discographies. These are works in progress - there are various live albums and compilations I still want to add.

Here are the mini drawings of records that I drew in March. I can’t stop myself doing these!

In March I finished a few pieces of art: The Beach Boys in 1972, based on photos that I overlaid onto each other. Two illustrations that are due to be used later this year so I won’t put them on here yet. A little acrylic painting of a Lift ‘n’ Peel bottle seal. 144 more little records and CDs.

I’m fascinated by these Lift 'n' Peel™ things. Something about the name maybe? So I’ve decided to paint some, starting today.

I’m at that frustrating phase in painting a portrait where everything I do makes less and less like the person it’s supposed to be based on. Time for a break I think.

As of yesterday, I've been creating a small #rollandpaint painting every day for two years. I'm excited to share that I now have a website with all my work, organized into easy to navigate galleries. www.taragibbs.com

I've just finished this painting of the Beach Boys, based on three photos taken in 1972 that I made transparent and overlaid onto each other. I think the original photos capture the individual characters in an interesting way and I wanted to show something of that.

This is excellent:

This week I listened to this for some reason.

All eight #SmallProphets covers are available as a pack of postcards. Buy here: colemandesign.co.uk/shop and love them. Forever. 9/

Every one of these designs is brilliant, but this one - inspired by Michael Heslop’s art for Susan Cooper’s Dark is Rising - feels incredibly ‘right’ to me.

There’s only one #LeonardNimoy. Woulda been 95 today.

This is lovely, a video for @dannythechamp.bsky.social remarkable new song 'Before September'. Filmed locally by @dougshawart.bsky.social and featuring the guitar I painted, it's very much a 'Carshalton' product too! youtu.be/Gm8ksPyqcT4?...

The idea for this video has been in my head for many years. Not quite sure what that says about me, but Tom Adams DFS Supercut, I set you free... www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-bO...

When my dad gave me all his records in the early 90s, Tommy was one of them, and I’ve kept it in the collection for the last 30-odd years. Actually listening to it never appealed to me though… until today, when I listened to Andrew’s latest podcast! So I’m going to give it a try.

I’m going to try to finish this Beach Boys 1972 painting this week if I can. Based on three overlaid photos. I think Carl and Blondie are nearly finished. Next: Mike!

The year we met, I started drawing this picture of my wife. I can’t remember why, but I put it away unpainted. This month, 17 years later, I found the drawing and today I started painting it.

Hey folks! It’s a beautiful day for it!! The racks are full of magic and we’ll be here till 4pm…Come on over for some Carshalton crate digging! 🌞🚀😎❤️💥

I gave my Beach Boys 1972 painting a bit of attention this afternoon. Really tricky to work from layered transparent photos, but it’s an interesting challenge and I’m starting to get a sense of how it might end up looking.

Bread Line New York, by Clare Leighton, 1932.

I’ve been spending part of my morning in 1965.

Here's my Wharf, Mousehole, print complete! I'm so happy with it. It's printed in eight colours and is an edition of 50. I'm posting this again as I was not in a good place when I posted it yesterday. www.johnbloor.co.uk/products/the... #print #shopsmall #art #printmaker #cornwall #mousehole

I'm struggling to explain to non-fans how 'they found two missing episodes' feels. I think it might genuinely be a whole human emotion only accessible to Dr Who fans, like we're deep sea fish who can smell magnets.
