#inktober Day 30, “vacant”. The penultimate drawing! I was frustrated that I didn’t get a better likeness of John Lyndon as he’s so distinctive. Adding colour is probably against the “ink only” ethos of Inktober but hey. Anarchy!

@starckclub.bsky.social

Inspired by the arduous plight of #NelsonMandela, ex #SexPistols frontman #JohnLydon included an English translation of an old #Irish blessing “go n-eiri an bothar leat”-‘may the road rise with you’- in #PIL’s 1986 single “Rise”- it was a Starck fave

The #sexpistols are going back on tour, without #johnlydon (I guess he's butthurt about losing a court case to the rest of them). They sure don't seem to like him very much.

The Sex Pistols announce first North American tour in 2 decades

The Sex Pistols will tour North America for the first time since 2003 this fall. They will perform 1977’s “Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols Album” live in its entirety.
