Anyway, I decided to do a piece of Peter after it was suggested by a Twitter friend @truedantalion. I believe his real name is Micheal Dantalion. Anyway, Michael suggested that Peter was a really inspirational character and that it would be fantastic to do a piece of him - and he was so right!
Peter is an incredibly inspiring man, who has lived an incredibly interesting life. Other than the Zimmer's he is a regular YouTuber, known as 'Geriatric1927' or 'The internet grandad'.
Peter lives in a beatuiful old house in Derbyshire, that has loads of character and he went out of his way to make me feel welcome. He also gave me a signed copy of his Zimmer's single 'Old and Wise' - I will pop the video below for you to have a look at:
Anyway, I am very pleased to say that Peter was delighted with the piece of art that I did for him, using the lyrics to 'My Generation'.
Thanks to Peter for a wonderful day!

Hi, Annemarie!
ReplyDeleteI loved reading your blog, and watching Peter's video about your visit to his place, and the gift you brought him.
I only now read Clare's tweet, asking me about my surname - a whole three hours after she posted it ... sorry for that!
So, in reply to her question: My surname is Eckstorm.
"Dantalion" is my alias, and on YouTube, I had to add "True", as the name was alrady taken ... by someone who obviously doee not know who he is messing with:

Hahaha :-)!
Since then, I got used to the Truedantalion ... and also to almost everyone pronouncing it wrong. But that is also true for my real surname ... *sigh* :-)!
