Johnny Cash was born on 26 February 1932. The famous middle finger photo was taken just before a performance at San Quentin Prison in 1969, when photographer Jim Marshall said, “John, let’s do a shot for the warden”. #JohnnyCash #OnThisDayInMusic #ArtOnPaper (at San Quentin State Prison) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpGnDyOtQcZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy Birthday to Nick Mason, born on 27 January 1944. In addition to being Pink Floyd’s drummer and the only member of the band to play on every album, Nick has produced for Robert Wyatt, Gong and Steve Hillage. Most recently Nick formed Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets, a live band playing early Floyd numbers, with Gary Kemp on guitar and vocals. #NickMason #PinkFloyd #OnThisDayInMusic (at Birmingham, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn5YF6Kt1a6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Surrounded by all those lads, in the centre is #SavitaHalappanavar, who died of sepsis in Galway in 2012 when she was refused an abortion for an unviable pregnancy. 
Her death gave focus to the pro-abortion campaign in Ireland, ultimately leading to the 2018 referendum that repealed the 8th amendment. 
I drew Savita when #RoeVWade was overturned by #Dobbs in June. (at 2022) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm1OUgWMjhx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A quick tribute to Don Van Vliet, the Captain, who died 12 years ago today on 17 November 2010. #DonVanVliet #CaptainBeefheart #OnThisDayInMusic #ArtOnPaper (at Glendale, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmP3QbKNJxl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy 70th birthday to Sarah Douglas, born 12 December 1952! Sarah caused many confused feelings amongst teenagers when she and Terence Stamp burst vampily from the Phantom Zone to (nearly) defeat Christopher Reeve with the power of black v-neck jumpsuits in Superman II. #SarahDouglas #Ursa #SupermanII #OnThisDayInMovies #ArtOnPaper (at Phantom Zone) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmFgyayNgR_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Celebrating Little Richard, born 5 December 1932. Richard had already lived one hell of a life, changed music and retired from rock n roll for God once by the time The Beatles opened for him in New Brighton and Hamburg in 1962. #LittleRichard #OnThisDayInMusic (at Macon, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClzY56-NdCG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Jeff Buckley was born on 17 November 1966. I drew the cover of Grace before but it was so crap I didn’t want to repost it, so I tried again this evening. Turns out it’s still difficult. #JeffBuckley #Grace #OnThisDayInMusic #brushpen #watercolours (at Anaheim, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClFGrALNFGW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
