In my spinning session the other day I listened to Will the Last One to Leave Please Turn Out the Lights? and really enjoyed it. The despair of living under The Idiot, the slow crumbling of society, the recurring phrases, were all great analogies for the world we live in now.

I've recently finished this Life of Colour art board, a etched MDF board which I coloured in with acrylic paint pens. I'm really happy with how it turned out.

Now I just need to rearrange the walls of my craft room so I can get all this art I've been making out of the cupboard and put it on display.

Gorgeous work. I love the juxtaposition of you working on this beautiful, hopeful piece of art while listening to a piece from Nightmare Magazine.

Oooh, speaking of Nightmare, have you read this one? I read it a few weeks ago and I can't stop thinking about it.

I love the art board. I especially like the stars in the birds' feathers.

Your art board looks so good! Love all the rainbow colors and the starry space of the birds.
