"You're my best friend" 💕

Lately I've been thinking about John waiting to become a dad while staying at Ridge Farm with the band. We see him quite cheerful and cheeky as always during the visit of the Music Life crew (in the pics by Watal Asanuma), but I wanted to imagine him having a moment of homesickness and worry about his wife and the incoming baby, writing "You're my best friend" about them. I'm sure all the boys had been supportive at the time, trying to lift his mood whenever they could 💖 John is always such a mystery and there are so many things and thoughts we don't know, I really wonder how he felt at the time as he had to be away from his young and pregnant wife 🥺

This is also the occasional comic page I try to sketch, very rough and quick but always useful to refresh my knowledge. I hope you'll like it!

Some Queen photos from Ratty’s book Queen Uncovered.

EDIT: Why are people still liking this post? The book was very disappointing and I got scammed on the pre-order.

More under the cut:

Another "fake photograph" I painted with digital oil colours, this time of Roger and John Harris relaxing on the lawn in front of the guesthouse at Ridge Farm! What a lovely time of Queen history that summer was -- and Harris really did wear these teeny tiny shorts (just have a look of the real photos from Ridge Farm and you'll know what I mean!)

A very loose interpretation of the prompt, again, but maybe you'll forgive me for that, haha. Roger & Harris truly were great friends by all accounts, nothing unlikely about their rapport <3

yes, it’s time for another Queen poll. Here we have Roger Taylor ‘in all his youthful glory’ in the words of the photographer, one B. May. But what happened next?

He definitely ended up in the water

cute as hell what the hell
