Hello, how have ya been? How did your trip ended, did you have fun?
I guess reaching to you through asks is easier than DMs, so here I am, being generally curious about where we left off the last last time, but since I am here I'll also leave a big ask:
How did it happen that Jon Lord is so important to you? When did you hear him and saw him for the first time? What's the thing in his playing and in his character that makes him be that special guy to you?
Write the longest answer you want - or a short one if it's more in your style - I'm just a curious lil mutual <3
Heyaaaaa haiiiiiii dear!!!! Thank you for these questions *rubbing hands* Finally lets hope that I can respond this time XD
Times could get better, but summer is coming and Im pretty excited in beginning uni academy next year, lets hope๐
About my trip end, it was a bit unexpected but funny: we leaved our rented house at 10 AM but we quickly found out that all highways were clogged up, and we managed to reach home a whole day after, at 1 AM, literally praying that my mom wouldnt fall asleep while driving ๐คฃ
Abt Jon, lets begin *cracks knuckles*
I dont remember if I have ever said this to anyone, but usually my dad, when I was little, made me watch purple lives instead of cartoons;
So, throughout my childhood and my first teenage years I had this blurred memory about the members and how they looked like; (my thoughts were like: why the drums guy is so little? Why the guitarman is so scary? Why that mans moustache are so big and silly? Why the singer looks like Jesus and has my same hair? Just pure childlike wonder lol)
And finally, around 2020, I gave them a chance by listening my dads machine head vynil and OH BOY OH BOY I was quickly captivated by their roaring and powerful sound.
My first crush was big ian but I later revalued Jon when, out of pure curiousity, I went searching for pics on pinterest and I stumbled upon this:
My brain and hormones went apeshit๐คญ๐คญ and this sort of awakened me, I was asking myself questions like "wtf is happening to me whattt?" in pure confusion.
The rest is now history, and here I am today :]]
Apart from the obvious phisical attraction (please mind that I was still new to this world at the time๐คฃ) What I always found fascinating about him was the crazy talent and gentle personality among the "rock people" that Ive known previously.
I consider him to be a pretty unique rock soul: no extreme drama, nor arrogance, stupidity, rudeness or immesurable ego; he was just happy to be in the scene, and had the intelligence to make himself respected and valued... I think that he did that pretty well๐.
He used MUSIC in his everyday life as the main method of expressing himself rather than using words (as an introvert I consider him as a role model for what he gifted to others and himself) and lets be frank, isnt it cool that a BIG strong 185 cm man is easily brought to tears of emotion by listening to a classical piece or spectating a good sunset or landscape? He's an 800' romantic author trapped in a motocyclist body, an unusual combination๐คฃ๐คฃ
And what about his music? He combined classical, popular, blues, jazz and sick improvisation in a fresh versatile style that changed rock music and organ playing forever, and would inspire generations of musicians since this very day! And lets not forget his pure classical works, full of a wide range of emotions that have helped me in various rough times.
I hope to have answered your questions my dear :)) and it wouldnt be bad if I addressed the same questions to you about keith, with you making a post about it reblogging this one, obv if you feel like doing it ๐ซฐ๐ป

Hello ๐
I had to forget about the question at weekend, we've talked about it at the beginning of the last week I think regarding finding the lie in the three sentences.
So here I am, with the curious question of how you got into drawing and what did you begin drawing in the first place?
Also a small gift ๐
Hi dear! How has your weekend been? Happy to see you asking this question๐โค๏ธ
*holding my dear PAL era jawn in my hand palms* thank you ๐ฅบ
Ok, lets begin:
I started drawing at a very very young age (kindergarten years) and my classmates would watch me draw and ask me to gift them my drawings๐ I was obsessed with venom and spiderman XD
During my teenage years I went fascinated about mosters and alien-like creatures (one of my dreams was designing the props for monster movies: I was and I am still now a huge fan of the Alien and Predator franchise). If you ask me to doodle something from improvisation I would draw a creepy specimen or a dragon 100%.
My style changed towards the manga-like stylization of a character when I firstly watched attack on titan: mindblowing animations and art, and I went on drawing like this for almost 3/4 years ๐ซฃ
I soon realized that having that kind of style wasnt taking me anywhere (no pratice, no evolution, no challenges, I started to get bored) and my love for music, pop culture and vintage graphics kinda saved me: I took the realistic approach but with a bit of funky silly colorful graphic tricks.
My next goal is to develop a more complex and deep style that isnt necessarily hyperrealistic (I WANT TO LEARN COLOR THEORY PROPERLY๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ)
