A chronological list of all post below:
- Tracey ThornOne of my absolute favourite voices to ever emerge from the Brittish isles.
- Jaco!The legendary musician Jaco Pastorius, here with a Fender Jazz Bass.
- The Blues Walked InImage inspired by the track “Today I Sing the Blues”, performed by Aretha Franklin and quite a few others since. What a brilliant opening line…
- SpringtimeI’m happy to report: the 4th was indeed with me!
- One Page CVTired of updating my CV, so here you go.
- Aretha!The Aretha Franklin catalog is extensive, covering plenty of musical styles. The track “Move with Spirit” from 1970 leans towards gospel and the energy is divine.
- BjörkI still listen to her earlier albums, that voice really gets me. Such a force of nature…
- Odds and endsAnother gallery, this time with various random stuff, quotes I find relevant, re-creation of classics, pop-culture references etc. Enjoy!
- Album CoversThe one thing I miss the most are the beautiful 12″ covers – the artwork, the liner notes, the printed lyrics. Here are my re-creation of various album covers (Gallery).
- StrengthLife is a win-win game. I’m OK, you’re OK and we all need help from time to time.
- LegendaryAmong my first heroes, Deep Purple Mk2.
- Heart and SoulAn astute observation and life lesson.
- think about it…This quote by Jane Hirshfield has really stuck something deep in me. I feel it in my bones.
- Half-length Portrait of a Man in a Striped JerseyPicasso painting from 1939, on display at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice, Italy. Recreated in Affinity Designer.
- Boy’s Night OutTwo old friends, just catching up at the bar on a Friday night. The Wurlitzer and R2D2 drawn in Affinity Designer for iPad, and obviously a stock photo backdrop from some club.
- I Feel 4 uHey, it’s Friday – enjoy! Reading the credits on this track is a joy. Of course, performed by Chaka Khan. Written by Prince, produced by Arif Mardin, with Melle Mel rapping and Stevie Wonder on the harmonica.
- Belgian Bike BoyHere’s a vector drawing I made of Wout while watching the 2022 Tour de France. He put on a great show. Drawn with Affinity Designer on iPad.
- Superb OwlIt’s that time of year again so congratulations to all who celebrate. May the Owl grace you with its presence.
- Love is LoveA reaction to all the violence directed against queer people everywhere – it really shouldn’t be this hard for consenting adults to love whomever they find a match with.
- RESIST!I am in the process of re-building this site after a decade or so on various social media sites. Aiming to escape Big Social companies and self-host my “content”.
