Lia in Brussels
It was Tin Tin’s birthday yesterday, 84 years since his first adventure appeared in Le Petit Vingtième (“The Little Twentieth”), the weekly youth supplement to the Belgian newspaper Le Vingtième Siècle (“The Twentieth Century”), on 10 January 1929. 84 years of rising popularity that would have made his father, the born and bred Bruxellois Georges Prosper Remi (22 May 1907 – 3 March 1983), better known by his pen name Hergé, proud-er.
Now I can’t claim I’m a huge fan but such an event cannot go unnoticed in Brussels! Reading about it flashed me back to our last visit to Tin Tin’s pied-à-terre, the Comic Strip Center where two of Belgium’s finest contributions to the world, comic strips and Art Nouveau come together in a beautiful setting; a semi-industrial building dating back to 1906, designed by Victor Horta for Charles Waucquez, a renowned textile wholesaler, who used it as a…

Was on the phone to Kim yesterday morning. She asked hey, so what do you do with art anyway? Thought to myself a couple seconds . . then told her. I design things. This Logo was one I drew in 1985.

Promise made for a fellow, orange you Fantastique.

This is a bigger post, promised in Flickr. Some portraits, some rehearsals and some from the actual show.
These photos were meant to be part of a book with a conversation with Hoyos that never realized. Enjoy!

Music feeds passion.
My Dad was the one who taught me.
Here is one of his favorite forty fives.
I will try to find this song online.
Now Dear ;D
For Catherine for her view of the world and her kind spirit. Another couple of old photos from a white Christmas in the past, as the holidays end!

Are you still in a festive mood?
Just yesterday I saw the weather report and the freezing cold in Canada and the USA. I was reminded of Catherine. Here in Greece we have temperatures above zero and hardly seen any snow in Athens (only once some wondering snowflakes). But once every five years the winter is harsh. From one such past winter.
And here is Catherines’s lovely blog!
