Pharaoh Saunders











Last night I was at the Barbican to see the legendary Pharaoh Saunders. He is now in his seventies and the Barbican was packed with men in dark clothing and women with sparkly tops (myself included). We had really good seats with an unobscured view of the stage and even though it was completely dark and I couldn't see a thing I wanted to record the event in my sketchbook. I made a series of drawings and only saw them when the lights went up. Also learned that he is called Pharaoh Sanders, as in Colonel and not Saunders.
