Derek Jarman In The Key Of Blue

jarman.jpg

Derek Jarman died 20 years ago today. I was keeping a sketchbook at the time, something I’ve seldom bothered with before or since, and this was my reaction to the news a couple of days later, possibly drawn whilst watching one the TV documentaries which were being screened at the time.

Some current news items:
England’s alchemist, a piece by Philip Hoare
Unseen nightclub film to get London premiere
‘So Mum covered me in cooking oil. Then Dad came home’
Queer Pagan Punk, a season of films by Jarman and others, is currently running at the BFI Southbank.
