Duran Duran. Ik luister er al dágen naar. Ik kan er geen genoeg van krijgen. Seven and the Ragged Tiger en The Reflex.
When you close off a part of your life, it's time to reflect... Judging how you did it. I'm not so good at it, so I tend to think back to my teens. Somehow it's embedded that in your teenageyears things stay with you for the rest of your life. I was SO glad that just this week, Bridget found a cassette with Duran Duran on it. Reflex and Seven and the Ragged Tiger...
A trip down memory lane.

Nu heb ik altijd veel getekend, en Bridget tekend élke dag. En ik had dan van die lege boeken, daarin ging ik flink tekeer. Nu heb ik toch enkele tekeningen gevonden die ik jullie niet wil onthouden. Het zijn maar schetsjes, maar ze geven wel weer waar ik op dat moment (1990) mee bezig was. Ze zijn ongeveer zo groot als een briefkaart.
I also used to draw a lot in my teens, and Bridget is doing it every day too. I had those empty books so I could draw whatever I liked. Now I found some of the drawings and I didn't want to keep them from you. They are almost the same size as a picture/postcard.
Ik heb niet zo veel met verf gedaan, meer etsen, droge naald en houtsnedes, lino en zeefdruk. Ik kon me geweldig uitleven op de kunstacademie. Uiteindelijk ben ik er vanaf gegaan zonder diploma, na 4 jaar, en heb daarna niet veel meer getekend. Jammer he.
I wasn't a great painter, but dry needle, etching, woodcarving, linocuts and graphic techniques. I had a great time on the ArtAcademy for 4 years, leaving with no diploma, and didn't do much drawing since. It's a shame...

Ik beloof dat ik het in de aankomende winter vaker zal gaan doen.
I promise to pick it up this coming winter.
