Tear You Apart


"You cry out in your sleep - all my failings expose
There's a taste in my mouth, as desperation takes hold
Just that something so good just can't function no more
When love, love will tear us apart again --" Joy Division
just purchased this new album from a band called "She Wants Revenge"
when i heard the single "Tear You Apart" on the radio, i was thinking, "wow this is pretty
poppy for interpol..." but the dj never announced who it was-which annoys the hell outta
me....i had to hear this bloody song three times(!) before i finally heard it this morning on the
way to the bagel store..i sat in the car till the goddam song ended and when the dude finally
dropped the band name- i said (out loud, to nobody) THANK YOU! anyway it's sounds
like an unreleased 80's joy division disc and so far i'm enjoying it....but there's been such a
dearth of good music out there lately, that i'll jump at anything that sounds left of center...
or like interpol.
here's a piece from the early 90's (my F.I.T. days) i drew this pre-computer,
and measured everyone of these circles till my eye was as lazy as
colin hay.(it's an 80's themed blog!) it's called "confessional"
ribbit!

Dude, I remember this piece from your earlier portfolio and I loved it then, love it more now, 'cause I have a new appreciation for hand-drawn art...with the proliferation of computers and Illustrator and such, we have lost sight of where the real talent comes from. Nothing beats a well executed, well thought out traditional drawing, hands down. This is a fine example of that, Glenny. Sting never looked better. Awesome, dude!!!

Thanks jesse, but that's not Sting...
that's a self-portrait!
Nothing like a little tantric Yoga
before drawing i always say!
Ribbit!
F-Diddy
P.S.- it IS Sting...
just yankin your chain...
but if you back away a little, like
to Cleveland maybe...it kinda looks like me...don't it?
