To gaze
On the guy who gave us
Purple Haze
Okay, so it works like this. Facebook, as it does, when it sees you belong to a specific group or groups - in this case South Wales Urban Sketchers and also the global Urban Sketchers group - likes to suggest other related groups that you might like to join. I've taken them up on it, and one of them I've joined is called Sketching Every Day. For me the huge attraction is that, as the name would suggest, every day the group is given a prompt for a sketch. Which is fantastic because there are days, like today, when inspiration totally fails me. I've used various internet sites from time to time, but I have to say that I generally find their suggestions pretty unsatisfying.
Anyway, to cut a long story slightly shorter, I just noticed today that my application to join the group has been approved, and so I checked out today's prompt. It's rock icon. Well, I tend to take prompts pretty literally, and so when I see the words rock icon, the first person to pop into my head is Jimi Hendrix. As it happens I have made a quick sketch of Jimi Hendrix before, as part of the 100 people One week challenge - he's number 80, in half silhouette, just behind my own ugly mug.
