:
i like to think that tonight's aston villa win over PSG was for benjamin zephaniah on what would - & SHOULD - have been his 67th birthday.
he was practically perfect in every way - on palestine, non-human animals, the planet, equality & the monarchy - & i know this because he wouldn't have liked anyone holding him in such high esteem.
happy ben day, everyone.

: double the beckett, double the...fun? well, 'my mistakes are my life', so that's what you're getting: two sams.
his birth ( in 1906) was the death of him & it'll come for the rest of us just as surely.
i've written more about 'quiff of the year (1906-1989)' below my scribbly tributes (if you're at all interested in why his words were just as important as his hair).

digital pencil & ink drawing of irish writer & 'reseau gloria' member, samuel beckett. here, majestically bequiffed as ever, sam looks directly at the viewer. his eyes are pale & bright. behind him are three sketched boxes of various sizes, each outlined in black. the top & bottom boxes are filled with turquoise & the middle is filled with a salmon colour.
