My Artwork
"All of them are just awesome!!! love the details. you can see who they really are!! excellent :)"
Anna Cooper replied to Oksana Kovalova's discussion The Interesting Case built by an interesting blogger"Yeah, the original takes are great. Barrett also has take one of "Baby Lemonade", as well as "Waving My Arms in the Air/I Never Lied to You". All great stuff.
Ah, you have great taste in the classic albums. And I agree…"
Anna Cooper replied to Oksana Kovalova's discussion The Interesting Case built by an interesting blogger"Well, Dominoes isn't so much an alternate take as the original takes. The extended Barrett has takes one and two of that song, and I actually prefer take 2 to the album version. Also, this isn't on Barrett, but the extended edition of Opel…"
Anna Cooper replied to Oksana Kovalova's discussion The Interesting Case built by an interesting blogger"Jenny: Glad to see you relistened to Madcap and enjoyed it. It's really hard for me to pick favorites with Syd...I think I like Madcap just a wee bit more than Barrett, although Barrett does have my favorite (solo) Syd song:…"
Anna Cooper replied to Oksana Kovalova's discussion The Interesting Case built by an interesting blogger"Jenny: Ha...your assumption that there are songs on Madcap that sound like they were thrown together is correct. The back story on that is that Malcolm Jones spent about 6 months producing Madcap when EMI decided it was getting far too expensive and…"
Anna Cooper replied to Oksana Kovalova's discussion The Interesting Case built by an interesting blogger"You're welcome, Jenny. ;) I actually had the good fortune to meet with Rosemary last year, so I like to pass on her words on Roger to everyone as I consider her the best expert on the subject.
BTW, can I ask why you prefer Barrett over…"
Anna Cooper replied to Oksana Kovalova's discussion The Interesting Case built by an interesting blogger"I'll confess right now that I didn't read the article as I really don't care to read another 3rd party assumption about Syd's mental state (if I had a dime for every one of those floating around I wouldn't be still be paying…"

Hello! Fancy meeting you here…
I’m Anna, an illustrator and Pink Floyd enthusiast living in the United States, and the author/illustrator of the book “The Day Goes By” (which you can read more about here). I’m so happy to be able to work with Escape Artists and the Syd Barrett Fund to get my book published to both honor Syd’s memory and to help with their mission to improve standards of mental well-being.
I’m looking forward to getting to connect with other Syd fans through the wonderful new Interstellar site---it’s fantastic to see so many people that are inspired by Syd and wanting to support a great organization! I’ve added a few Floyd-inspired paintings; if you want to see more (albeit non-Floyd) work you can visit my website as well as my blog.
Shine on!

The proportion of those in prison who are veterans has risen by more than 30% in the last five years.

Shunda Carlisle said… - Thanks! It is hard to decide because I love almost every picture of him. Even the ones when he was much older, minus the beautiful hair. ;-) Still beautiful! How is your book coming along? I love what you have posted so far. Good luck with it and let me know when it is finished. I will certainly try to buy one. Take care. Peace and Love Shunda :-)

Syd Barrett Fund said… - Now the two gigs are done and we've got a little bit more exposure for your work I've really got to get my head around the publisher search again. We'll find one some how.
