If you had ever wondered what Anna’s artwork looks like (she is also an artist), I found some little examples of it from 2009…
I’ve been painting matchboxes, to give away on tour, I’ve painted a different picture on each one. I’ve really enjoyed doing it, they feel like different worlds. Inside each one there are two scrolls, one is a photo taken by the amazing photographer Emma Nathan – she does all my photos. The other scroll contains lyrics of mine, referring to fire, with one match inside. You may wonder why.. I’m not completely sure, but I like the feeling of putting so much work into something, and then giving it away- that’s what being a musician feels like. I like the idea of my work being burnt, after it’s been seen (hence the match), it reminds me of playing live, you put everything into a moment for someone, and then it disappears.
I’m also giving away handmade CDs.
