Day thirty-six of The 100 Day Project for 2021.
Once again, I started my sketch after 23:30 yesterday. I finished a few minutes after midnight after a lazy, lazy day and a minuscule amount of work in the last stretch of the evening.
I picked this image I took at the Toora wind farm in November last year on my road trip from Melbourne to Brisbane with Simon because it seemed like something I could draw quickly. I was both right and wrong.
It's a passable sketch - I'm pretty sure you'd know what it was without the source image - but the top blade leans a little too hard to the left. And the right one is hanging too low and is a bit short compared to its counterpart on the left.
A satisfying attempt for me after what was a long week. I'll take it.
I'm hoping this week is a little gentler on me and on any of you struggling lately.
If you've not already had a listen, Nick Cave and Warren Ellis' latest collaboration, Carnage, has been on heavy rotation here since Friday. I realised yesterday I wasn't following Cave's solo Spotify profile, so it wasn't served up to me on the day of release. Though I was following Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, The Dirty Three, and, I think, Warren Ellis, so I'm still confused as to why it wasn't in my new release batch last week.
Oh, and Happy International Women's Day! I only found out today that many countries and some individual cities actually have a bank holiday to celebrate IWD!
In case you're missing it this year, some clever chappy archived Richard Herring's tweets from 2019. For those who don't know: Herring has done sterling work responding to the excessive number of tweets asking when International Men's Day is for the past eight years. You can send the archive link to twats as a "let me Google that for you" type of response if anyone you know needs to read it.
