Dear All, I hope you are all doing ok wading through the awful mess our world seems to be in at the moment. I guess it has probably always been in pretty much of a mess but I was just a lot younger and had no time to brood on it. I need to apologise to you all for the VERY long gap in both communications and listings of artwork. An awful lot of “stuff” seems to have been getting in the way but the truth is really just advancing old age. Once upon a time I would have just worked more hours and however much needed doing would have got done. Anyway, I am turning my attention back to the boxes of artwork at long last. The increasingly difficult times we are all going through make it extremely unlikely that anyone has any spare dosh to spend on indulgence and non-essentials but I have been reminded by recent events that I need to get on with this anyway. While at St Martin’s in the late 1960s 4 of us shared a Victorian terrace behind Olympia. Dave and Tony came to my aid in the early days of Pearce Studios when we became overwhelmed with work and Dave carried on for the next 13 years. Rudy and I regularly went to live Blues gigs over the next 50 years, sometimes joined by Dave. Sadly we have lost both Rudy and Tony this year ... so the omens are not great for Dave and me ! This salutary reminder of the shortness of remaining time has focussed my mind on the remaining boxes of artwork and the need to get them sorted. Our kids all live busy lives and I‘m sure they would never have the time or inclination to do this. So I must do as much of it as I can as quickly as possible or what is left is likely to eventually end up in a skip ! So after all that rambling waffle here are the first 2 listings - AW_180_05_DOLPHINS_photolith AW_181_MICE_cage The box I am now going through contains stuff from the Dolphins sequence and I aim to carry on adding a couple of items regularly - maybe even daily if I can sustain the momentum. But I won’t inundate you with constant notifications as that could get annoyingly tedious for you. For those who are interested I will instead update eBay listings on my web site. If you are checking regularly on the web site please remember to refresh the page (circular arrow icon in your browser) to make sure you are looking at the latest version of the page. Alternatively an eBay search for H2G2_AW_ should return anything that is active. I wish you all the very best, Rod To be taken off the mailing list please reply with REMOVE in the subject or content. |
