What an unlikely trio to crsoss paths on this day in Rock History, John & Julian Lennon & Kurt Cobain.

Twelve Minutes in Rock History - April 8th - I did this sketch with a Kimberly 2 H Pencil that blends quite nicely in twelve minutes, my last Stevie Sketch was done with this same type of pencil and I love the feel of it.

Make love, not war was something Lennon lived by and for his life to be tragically taken in 1980 from such a violent act, shocked the masses. A father & son sit and a moment in time was captured. Julian Lennon was born on April 8th, 1963, and ironically on this day 31 years after, Kurt Cobain on his own accord, became lifeless.

The cosmic possibilities in our lives are almost non-comprehensible. A man who set the 1960’s on the seat of peace, and asked us all to “Imagine” do you ever think he imagined, what our world would be in the 1990’s or into the new millenium?

He sits with his son in the photo, and the proud father is evident. In the eyes of Cobain, a tortured soul emerged and took control.

We go to great lengths for our children, Cobains story was not an unfamilar one on the scene of rock.

Do not let your memories live only in photo’s, reach out to your kids and those you love & appreciate. Capture those moments in time and reach out to them now, before they get away. Let them know how much they are loved, you may not get another chance.

The above sponge bob pencil sketch was done for my husband! The photo is from our trip to Cabo San Lucas, and well, the sponge bob shirt that he lost needed to be replaced, so I whipped this one up and iron on transfered it!
