  • Without a word of warning, the Blues walked in this morning
    The Blues Walked In

  • Vector portrait of Aretha Franklin set on top of the lyrcis to "Spirit in the Dark".
    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.
  • Björk, the artist from Island. Vector drawing based on a photo by Phil Nicholls (1993)

    I still listen to her earlier albums, that voice really gets me. Such a force of nature…

    Odds and ends
    Another gallery, this time with various random stuff, quotes I find relevant, re-creation of classics, pop-culture references etc. Enjoy!
  • Joy Division album cover mock-up
    Album Covers
    The 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).
  • Strong people don't put others down, they lift them up.
    Strength
    Life is a win-win game. I’m OK, you’re OK and we all need help from time to time.
  • Typographic poster using Helvetica to represent the cover of the "Smoke on the Water" single
    Legendary
    Among my first heroes, Deep Purple Mk2.
  • You are initially attracted to the brains and beauty. Then you stay for the heart and soul.

    An astute observation and life lesson.
  • Everything changes, everything is connected, pay attention.

    This quote by Jane Hirshfield has really stuck something deep in me. I feel it in my bones.

    Love is Love
    A 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 - decorative
    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”.
