“Sod the wine, I want to suck on the writing. This man White is an instinctive writer, bloody rare to find one who actually pulls it off, as in still gets a meaning across with concision. Sharp arbitrage of speed and risk, closest thing I can think of to Cicero’s ‘motus continuum animi.’

Probably takes a drink or two to connect like that: he literally paints his senses on the page.”

OLYMPIC SNIFFERDOGS FANG PINOT

this drawing is a tasting note from one of my strange 2000 AD notebooks ... I was, and am, very keen on single continuous line illos ... if you do manage to render one, it's often years before you realise what you sumbitch gone did ... this one indian ink on paper sketch and photo by Philip White, citizen, from one of his skrillion strange note pads and diaries
