I Am Me

Playing it by ear, Flying by the seat of my pants, Living in the NOW while keeping an eye on the near distant future.

Andy Rourke (The Smiths) (1964-2023)

As one part of the rhythm section of The Smiths (along side Mike Joyce) his basslines gave the band a danceable groove to the glitter of Marr and the melancholy of Morrissey. A Manchester lad to be missed by those who remember the better days of 1980s. RIP.

“Printing my images onto plastic paper so the ink never quite dries, I then uses water and chemicals to transform the surface of the prints, abstracting and blurring them as if the scenes are melting away.”

Oh man… This is no longer my lane but I can’t leave this at “1000 year old sword”.

This is Mikazuki. The Crescent Moon blade.

This sword was crafted by Sanj(y)o Munechika and is older than 1000 years. (The Smith’s oldest signed work is from 987).

There are only 5 of the smith’s pieces remaining and this one exhibits one of the first times in history that the Japanese sword takes on it’s utilitarian curved shape.

This sword was owned by a laundry list of important historical figures including Oda Nobunaga’s general Toyotomi Hideyoshi who unified Japan.

You are essentially looking at a Japanese Excalibur.

I am humbled to even be able to see a picture of this sword.
