Lonesome Rider

what's up?

RIGHT NOW

Today’s picture shows you one example of objects that I “handle” right now. To handle is etymologically related to hand, I guess, and it is exactly what I do this days. Handle objects with my hands. Like this guy (picture of Lonesome Rider) with its cellophane layer around it. Again: by hand. I got better […]

some lonesome statistics and stories

Here’s a some statistical data for you. I changed the sample pricing for my Lonesome Rider on www.lonesomerider.website and charge 4 $ (US) per sample now. I was kickstarted to do so after a couple of zero price orders from perfume lovers. Before I share the data, here a few anecdotes and bits that are funny. On […]

pink free

today I posted a picture on lonesomerider.website, without much text, expect mentioning that lonesome rider is basically pink free. I love the juxtaposition of the two pictures. Both of them are clichée, a bit, but one of them is more honest. Funny: I have this fragrance (trial) in my excel that is pretty much pink, and […]

we are starting shipping Lonesome Rider

Today’s picture could be me (isn’t me, though): Sleeping man. A quick pencil sketch that I did somewhen the last two days. It was pretty rough, getting ready to ship Lonesome Rider, getting orders out and last minute stuff, because…. well… because I go to Paris over the weekend. A more or less private mission. […]

the right side

When busy, with orders and communication that is related to orders, I often end up on the “scent bench” and the formula excel, playing with molecules and extracts, […]

experimental work in the flow

Today’s picture is an experimental work from 10 days ago. Mixed media (ink, watercolor, acrylic) on cardboard, about 1m diameter, thus pretty large. For this painting, I just let things happen and flow and I followed the flow, or the ideas that came up. In the end I called it “the annunciation”.  A bit pompous, […]

virtue and its reward

Today a little exercise, oil on canvas again, done over the holidays. I am not satisfied, yet and started another painting that will need some time to get finished. Although this is a picture of Mr. Trump, this is not a political post, but when reading Theresa’s comment on the blog post yesterday, saying “virtue is […]
