A song that makes me happy at the moment.

A brand new portrait, commissioned especially for NatGeo’s ‘Explorers Of The Arctic Circle’ collection. Which is of course a complete and utter lie.  (Re-edited 20/1/12)

“Religious distress is at the same time the expression of real distress and the protest against real distress. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, just as it is the spirit of a spiritless situation. It is the opium of the people. The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is required for their real happiness. The demand to give up the illusion about its condition is the demand to give up a condition which needs illusions.”

- Karl Marx, Critique of Hegel’s Philosophy of Right, and usually paraphrased to “Religion is the opiate of the masses’.

I shouldn’t let shitty nonsense get to me, but been let down tonight, when I thought I was going to be able to create something quite different and extraordinary. Of course I really knew I’d be let down, but kept my hopes up, just in case. Unfortunately it’s got to me, and feeling a bit shitty about it. Dagnamnit. Ok, moan over, time to move on to the next project. Where’s my note book… Any requests?

I too will one day have a trained bird to clean my beard. It shall be so.
