Spent the weekend in sunny Denmark. Went to Roskilde
on Friday - watched Snoop Doggy Dog and his posse of
five thousand. Shot Audioslave, who I enjoyed, and
Black Sabbath. Nice day - huge crowd.

I quite enjoyed my exhibition, to be honest. A load of my friends turned
up, including Oliver Halfin, Phil Alexander (editor and tv celebrity),
Dave Brolan (photographers agent), Mark Blake (prog rock expert), Benjamin
Mitchell (writer), Peter Makowski, Michael Wall, Scott Rowley (editor
and linguist), Matthew Kent (Pete Townshend's south-east London correspondent)
and Jimmy Page (guitarist), who spent most of the evening being harassed
by people.

Barry "Bazza" Drinkwater
(wealthy philanthropist) invited me out for dinner, and then got
my agent, Simon, to pay... |

I did a portrait of Peter Makowski as a Christmas present. 'Please
make me look young for the bar girls', he begged. I've tried... Peter
is still going to Thailand - I must point out we are not going together
or for the same reason! |
December 2
The Proud gallery Icons show - I'd never been to the gallery in
Camden Town, it was quite impressive... Saw a lot of people I haven't
seen in years, including Paul Slattery and Jill Furmanovsky... And
Matt 'Jack' Kent and his new boyfriend, Brian, who'd just come from
an audition for the Kings Of Leon. Kazuyo (who works for me) was
so drunk she could hardly speak English... She keeps trying to get
me to go out with her friend Ryoko, shouting 'She likes youuuuuuuuuuu
- you're in, my son!' etc... She learnt her English from Jack...
The DJ was playing '70's stuff. |

Went to see Thunder and Deep Purple last night...Danny Bowes was
very entertaining, he nearly threw in the kitchen sink...Went with
my assistant Jimmy Page and our driver, Barry, who'd been let out
on leave from Banstead psychiatric home. Do a quick snap of James,
Daniel and Lucifer, then Deep Purple, who I haven't seen in years... |
