MY WORK
Salamander
Some years ago I started doing rough sketches of the characters from the songs of Jethro Tull's frontman Ian Anderson.
This is a new one of a character called "Salamander" from Tull's "Too old to Rock and Roll: Too young to die" album.
"Salamander-
Born in the sun-kissed flame.
Who was it lit your candle -
branded you with your name?
I see you walking by my window
in you Kesington haze.
Salamander, burn for me
and I'll burn for you."
