In that time I&#8217;ll try to achieve two things: A quality drawing and a good likeness. I can&#8217;t always guarantee either but I&#8217;ll be striving for both!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artist and occasional writer, Matt Soffe is just over a third of the way through his year-long portrait blog, and today&#8217;s subject is, none other than, Robert Fripp. &#8230;The guitarists&#8217; guitarist, he pioneered the innovation of tape-looping in rock music (christened &#8216;Frippertronics&#8217;), improvised the guitar solo on Bowie&#8217;s &#8216;Heroes&#8217; and devised the sounds for the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[37,41,54],"tags":[2154],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/toyah.net\/ds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/609"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/toyah.net\/ds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/toyah.net\/ds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/toyah.net\/ds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/toyah.net\/ds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=609"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/toyah.net\/ds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/609\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":33407,"href":"https:\/\/toyah.net\/ds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/609\/revisions\/33407"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/toyah.net\/ds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=609"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/toyah.net\/ds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=609"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/toyah.net\/ds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=609"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
