Yes, there is still no new music from The Last Shadow Puppets, but any time the Arctic Monkeys or Miles Kane does anything, I will always think of them. So here’s a new drawing way back from when they first started out together.

Fan Art Friday: The Last Shadow Puppets
New musical obsessions may come along (here’s looking at you, Don Broco), but nothing beats The Last Shadow Puppets. I don’t think I’ll ever tire of listening to or drawing them. So with that, enjoy.

At this point I feel like it should be no surprise that the final drawing I managed to crank out for 2021 is of The Last Shadow Puppets. Somehow this supergroup slipped under my radar until this year but I’m so glad I was able to find out about them – better late than never! So here’s my final drawing featuring lyrics from their songs “Pattern,” “Aviation,” and “Bad Habits.” Enjoy!
Read moreMiles Kane Colour of the Trap – Album Review
Obviously, as I make my way through my obsession of The Last Shadow Puppets, it’s only natural that I listen to one of the core member’s solo music. Thus, I am listening to Miles Kane’s first solo record, Colour of the Trap. Spelt that way because he’s British, but I’d probably let him get away with it even if he weren’t.

I will say, the second full length album from Mini Mansions, The Great Pretenders, is a winner. As soon as the first track kicks off, I was hooked.

It’s hard to believe this band has been around since 2009! I first heard of Mini Mansions a few years ago with a song off of their third full length album. Up until my recent obsession with The Last Shadow Puppets, I hadn’t really considered giving the rest of the band’s catalog much time. Obviously, that’s changed. Instead of starting with what I knew, I decided to start from the beginning with their self-titled debut album.

I do believe my love for this band in never-ending. The Last Shadow Puppets have only released two albums over the course of 13 years, but I hope me being this late to the party means that they are close to putting out a third (and hopefully not last) record. Watching old live performances on Youtube have been a joy and Alex Turner and Miles Kane are mesmerizing. It’s clear these two have fun on stage! In order to cement my love for them, here is another drawing. Fear not though, I’m sure there will be plenty more to come.

Sure, we can use the word obsessed right now. I think that’s fair. But I can’t help it! After listening to The Last Shadow Puppets and Arctic Monkeys near constantly for the last six months or so, what can you expect?! So anyways, since I just reviewed Arctic Monkeys album, AM, pretty recently, here is a drawing of Alex Turner from that time. So suave!

Well, in this case, I suppose it’s only one member of Arctic Monkeys, but still. I’ve got a bunch of scrap pieces of mat board lying around my house, so I decided to make use of them with little miniature drawings. Since I’ve been wading through Arctic Monkeys’ discography, I thought it was only appropriate to show my love of their tunes with a little drawing. Expect some bigger pieces and ones of the whole band in the future, but for now, enjoy this multi-colored miniature of Alex Turner!

Back at it! Now that I’ve thoroughly listened to Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not, it’s time for me to move onto the Arctic Monkeys’ sophomore effort, Favourite Worst Nightmare. Although it’s a sophomore effort, there was certainly no slump here! In fact, it’s sort of mind-boggling that the band was able to release something so strong in just a little over a year after their debut record.
