Birthdays : Michele Phillips (81)

Happy birthday to Michelle Phillips, born as Holly Michelle Gilliam in Long Beach, California on this day in 1944. 

Monday, Monday, can't trust that day. 





Having read much of John Phillips’ massive heroin addiction (at its heght - depths? - he is said to have injected very 17 minutes) I am always amazed that there wasn’t more scandal around the others! Michelle, in a relationship with Dennis Hopper must have seen a life of a certain drama. The death of Mama Cass and so on but Denny always seemed squeaky clean and Michelle so wholesome amd strikingly beuaitful, the scandal around John and his daughters seems not to have tainted their own histories!?

Artist profile: Rudolf Schlichter - German Expressionist

Rudolf Schlichter

an early influence and much admired member of the German Expressionist movement after enjoying the work of George Grosz, Max Beckmann especially and others I found the drawings of people like lesser know figures of the movement like Schlichter a master draughtsman like Karl Hubbuch both showed their fascination for mannered drawing styles that I adored and tried to emulate in my own limited work . . . . . here are some of Schllchter’s more well know paintings and are not for the squeamish perhaps!

Erwin Blumenfeld - La Dame au Camelia c.1943


Blumenfeld was an early influence on my photography and sources for my paintings at Art School - check the dates! Extraordinarily early for such imagery I am sure you will agree. This last could well be a Ralph Gibson in my opinion (another contemporary master artist/ photographer another influence from the seventies for me)

Jackie Wilson Said (I'm in Heaven When You Smile)

Go on turn it up anyway!

I always wanted to know where such an exotic excitingly named place as TUCUMCARI was . . . . .

THE AMERICAN DREAM

And I guess I knew it was on Route 66 but I had rose tinted spectacles when first hearing about the music and places of the USA. I still had them when first visiting places like San Francisco and finally New York that came as a revelation and were truly great . . . no need to make it great again Lil Donny Drumpf! 

Now in my head it all looks like this

ROUTE 66








I guess it may not be like this now ( or certainly parts may have improved but this depressed me no end!)
no credit given! If you know otherwise please let me know and I will post the source and photographer

again think I found it and its from



Linda about sums up what I thought about Tucumcari!
Written by the legend that was Lowell George 
you just know if you gave me weed, whites and wine . . . . . 
I might just make it there
