John Kenny Illustrator, was a total legend
My stint in the cooler finished at 11pm yesterday. I must be somewhere like 2 thirds, 3 quarters of the way through now. about a month of solitary, its not been too intense. But I am slowing down, and it really needs the momentum to keep running. I have stuff on the horizon which will keep me out of the cooler And another project banging on my door which will very much keep me in the cooler. I need this to keep moving forward.
I will spend another good long day in there today. Yesterdays work went like this o stone, . Then
The day before went: omed t
The day before that: n. Bloss
The fairies have not visited during the night.
Once I have started its not too bad. Starting is the problem. I have added an image by my favourite illustrator John Kenny http://www.ladybirdflyawayhome.com/pages/kenney.htm
and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_T._Kenney
who did Ladybird Books which I grew up with. This image shows how I feel, Alexander the Great’s army lost in the desert struggling for hundreds of miles in unknown lands. I feel like one of the soldiers on this march, and if I look back I can see the sick and fallen in the dust. His illustrations have stayed with me all these years. He did Thomas the Tank Engine and I belive some Airfix model boxes as well.
Got to keep going.
