Birth card for Maksim, by Thamar and Axel. This lovely couple met on a party where I introduced them and after alcohol drenched night they met again and became partners for life. So the birth card of Maksim has a linkt to the vodka i poured them that night.

Piet and Ted were moving and this was their card to let us know.

When Flora had her birthday, the band gave her a new wig.

When Yma was born, Flora and Joel asked me to do the card.  ‘Yma’ comes from ‘Yma Sumac’ – so i thought it was nice to have a link with the magic Exotica feel of the artist. The little kolibri was used as a stamp.

When Moos was born, Joel and Flora asked me to do their card

Simon got a gig with Branford Marsalis for his birthday.

Emanuel is an excellent drummer who played with me in the Spinshots. However, we gave him a workshop or his birthday, because one can always learn more! Our band birthday presents usually went with cartoons made by Emanuel or by me.
