Misty in pastels on paper

Amsterdam,
Misty, Bart`s dog, the dog of an alcoholic I used to work with during my Mad Bicycle Messenger Years here in Amsterdam.

Bart was nicknamed Bartje Heineken - real name Bartje Hollander - and a real alcoholic if ever I met one starting the new day with a liter of strong black coffe and straight on to big alu cans of cheap Dirk Van De Broek supermarket beer...

Well, at least when your a canine belonging to a drunk, life can`t be all that bad frolicking and fornicating while your owners are getting themselves smashing drunk on their habitual wooden bench in the nearby park...

Must be better then the life of a dog of a working stiff, waiting all day in a small appartment for the boss to come home after a hard day`s work, stressed out and in no mood to take the dog for his daily toilet round after holding in up all boring day.

Amsterdam, 02-01-2010,
El futbolista holandès de caràcter questionable.

Young people becoming international stars overnight, spoiled millionaires within the a few short years, the Dutch Sisterhood of Unmarried Females all over them....needless to say, things tend to get over their cocky young hoodlum heads, making them believe "WE ARE DEMI-GODS, ALLOWED TO DO AS WE PLEASE" ...

Get the wrong money grapping "friends" as financial advisors and your Free Fall down the public ladder will go even faster with the international press always happy to turn the "UNDERDOG" into a Dirty Slum No-good.

Mister Oehoe in pastels on paper

Amsterdam, 02-01-2010
Ay, one of my favorite subjects when I sketch, draw or paint, their distinctive "Oehoe, Oehoe" still ringing in my Gringo ears, bringing me back across time and space to my wild camping spots in far-away countries, under alien stars, pondering in front of my tent after a whole day on the bike, surrounded by the darkness of the night and massive and often ancient trees, always harbouring an owl....

Yeah, owls come back in my scrapbooks time and again.
