Well, strange times, but I'm certainly getting a lot of drawing done in this lock down. I'm averaging two finished illustrations a week, but with a list of films that still has 135 titles to go (with more being added as I remember them) I should be busy for a while yet. 

My art folders have been a bit of as wilderness in recent months (years) but when animated Power of the Daleks finally comes out I expect I'll be posting some of the backgrounds here. Roll on November.

Just a heads up if you enjoy my illustrations, I also write music, any genre I feel like having a go at but 'soundtrack' compositions are probably my favourite. I have uploaded a number of compositions to youtube (you can find me under my username Harnois75). Also I like to give cover versions a try occasionally so you'll find an eclectic mix there too. I have a Facebook page for music compositions and covers called 'The Dark Room'. - www.facebook.com/harnois75?fre…

Amongst covers there you will find original compositions like my impressions of James Herbert's novel 'The Fog' in the horror genre and few pieces under the title Sneak Thief - in the heist movie soundtrack style. Impressions of Quatermass and a piece in the Hammer Horror style are also to be found there.

I see that last time I put in a journal entry it was mostly about depression. Well, I tried a couple of anti-depressants during the last year. The first one worked eventually but it messed with my brain for a few weeks to start with and left me feeling very ill and disorientated. Some side effects stayed throughout so I decided to come off of that drug even though friends saw a definite improvement in my mood. I had to reduce it over about three weeks before I could try another option. The second drug took about three months to show signs of working but I persevered as there were no adverse side effects. The change was subtle and I wasn't really sure it was doing anything for quite a while, but finally I feel like I've come out of a dark cloud. I was there for a couple of years though. Generally I'm feeling more upbeat and more capable of sorting out my life and achieving things. I hope I can keep the black dog at bay.
