This piece is a reworking of the self-titled debut album from now defunct Adelaide band Nocturnal. The only member of this band is a dear friend of mine, and the original artwork for his first album he had done himself with a felt tip marker. As we had lost contact, he could not ask me to help him out, but I think what he did was gold.

Anyhow, many years later I decided to redraw the image in charcoal. Pat was happy with the end result, although it differed in the detail from the silhouetted image he had produced. There are a few things that I would like to have done differently myself, so perhaps I will redraw this interpretation one day. You can hear some Nocturnal songs by visiting the [tomb] MySpace page, where you can also purchase a copy of one of the few remaining copies of the Nocturnal recordings.
