Holland, Amsterdam,12Aug. 2010.
I have't done drawings of Amsterdam architecture for years though I used to sell them in the street like they were sweet pancakes...but with my Mandala games selling quicker as I possibly can produce them, much faster as I can paint, it seems obvious why my games got first rights...
However being surrounded by these ancient city houses while cycling to my Plekkie at the Anne Frank House, being dwarved by old Amsterdam Herenhuizen and erstwhile warehouses, built in the times of Dutch hegemony on the world's oceans, it seems obvious the desire to draw them in my sketchbook remained...
These three old warehouses based on the Brouwersgracht have in today's world been renovated and are now inhabited and owned by the Dutch elite like favorite TV personalities, rich business shits, lying politicians and the like...
In this drawing they look like they way I imagine them to have been like when the Dutch still controlled the spice trade from the Far East...and off course a bit of a touch from my Crazy Farang Mind...
