Comic Sexy, the brand i started up with my friend André, had an exhibition with prototypes at ‘Pop Boy’ – the ‘Vintage Pin Up Paradise’ shop owned by my friend Marleen. The first photo is extra nice as you can also see the logo i designed for her.

Photos were made by Bettina Neumann and Leendert Masselink.

The Spinshots made ‘Rhythm & Tunes’, later called their music ‘Neo Exotica’. What stayed was their wild liveshows and their exciting performances.

Photos by Vi Mahabali and Wrecker Walley. If i forgot to mention a photographer please mail me and I’ll adjust…

Ir Vendermeulen, the ‘Godfather of Amsterdam’ and initiator of the Amsterdam Beat Club, asked me to perform with the Spinshots and create a fashion show with the models presenting the designs while the band backed them up live.

This all happened at Paradiso, the rock temple of Amsterdam.

Haarlem Comic Festival asked the Spinshots to perform live and have a fashion show with Comic Sexy. We had a very nice stage and dancers in the dresses: the dancers were drawn by a comic artist at the spot.

These photos were made by Thijs Tennekes.

Before we organised Boogaloo Rumble, I already did some try outs, bearing the name ‘Boogaloo Nation’. To put more ’50s in, we changed the name to Boogaloo Rumble.
But this flyer I designed for an evening is quite remarkable: We were hosting the Souldiers, with Cato and Joost van Dijck, who later started My Baby and got famous.
