My favorite iteration of the brilliant Annie Lennox from Eurythmics underrated but perfect Savage album. I played the shit out of this record… Not a bad song on it. First time with watercolors. Luckily, they’re forgiving.

I drew this comic all the way back in 2012, but struggled with exactly what to say, so I put it away for a long time. Began toying around with it again over the past few weeks.

I have long been a fan of Sandy Denny, and was hoping to have completed this by 1/6/15, what would’ve been her 68th birthday. But, you know, life got in the way for a bit. “I’m A Dreamer” is my favorite song of hers. I love to think about the way people create and started to imagine what might be Sandy’s process. Obviously, this is a work of fiction.

If you’ve never heard this song or SD,: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3cFuntV6j8

I also highly recommend Sandy Denny: Reflections On her Music by Phillip Ward & No More Sad Refrains: The Life and Times of Sandy Denny by Clinton Heylin.

Special thanks to Andrew Batt.

Sandy Forever.
