I have a fascination with black women’s faces and their moves...I think they are just gorgeous. I wish I was that good of a painter that I could paint what I see in them. Not only their outer beauty but also paint how I perceive them on an energy level, their incredible strength, ability of endurance, sexiness and their boldness...I live in a neighborhood where I am constantly surrounded by African women. It gives me the opportunity to study their faces and moves up-close, I just whish I could paint what I see...sometimes I try but never feel I succeed at it as I would like to..

Some more SpoonFlower experiments
Posted on 12:16 AM by Unknown
I have tried out a few fabric designs through SpoonFlower recently. I needed to determine the print quality and decide which way I want my own fabric line to go. Here are some of the recently printed results...
******If you feel like giving me some feedback on them you are more than welcome to do so :))******

Great coffee here
Posted on 6:37 AM by Unknown
Love this Amsterdam Café. It has a Mediterranean atmosphere to it and is run by a couple of Moroccan guys. Every time I visit it seems I’m back in Spain where I lived for a couple of years back in the early 90tees. I sound old, don’t I. It’s walls are totally covered with portrait photo’s they took of the visitors of their café. I think it both is a genius idea and looks fabulous. The girl in the bottom pic is my sis.
- Last but not least they serve the best café latte in town :)
