Rapping In Cardiff: 4 (Mad Punk Ranters)

Drawing In Darkness.

Another quick sketch from my recent visit to The ‘Diff to a gig organised by fellow artist Unity, who is also a rapper. People who have known me a long time are a bit puzzled because I’ve always been a metalhead, but to be fair, I do like other types of music, just that metal and rock are my favourites.

Back in the early 1980s I started to listen to punk poets, John Cooper Clarke (now Doctor) and The Mad Kiwi Ranter (David Eggleton). I loved their aggressive, energetic performances – I feel that Rap is in that same edgy and angry tradition. I was drawing in the dark and the performers were also in darkness, but it made for good practice.
