Someone messaged me after my first Bits + Bobs post asking if the guy in the photo was my dad. They said they really hoped it was because they thought he looked cool.
I have to agree. Very classic 1980s rock aesthetic. It also reminds me a little of The Lost Boys, which I loved.
That message sent me looking for another photograph of him, and I ended up opening his obituary folder. Then I found this.
I actually let out a little shout when I realised what he was working on and called out to my son, "Look what I've found — Grandad!"
He was in the middle of playing Fortnite and barely looked up, so I told him to look again. This time, he noticed the painting my dad had been working on, hanging proudly above our computers.
It's funny how one message can send you down another unexpected path through the archive.
