Mijn vader zei ooit,
Het komt niet meer terug…nooit,
Dat Amsterdam dat ik kende,
Die humor en die heerlijke bende.
Die stad aan de IJ-plas,
Is niet meer wat het ooit was!
Ik ben van een generatie later,
Ik bestond toen nog uit water.
Zijn Amsterdam heb ik nooit gezien.
Pas In de jaren ’90, toen was ik 19,
Begon mijn amsterdams bestaan,
Ik gaf er mijn eigen invulling aan.
Kraakfeessies in donkere panden,
Fabrieksterreinen, onbekende landen,
Graffiti’s, kapotte ramen, rotte muren,
Mistige, Spookachtige, vroege uren.
vleermuizen, punks en ander gespuis,
Gaven Amsterdam een heerlijk soort ruis.
Zij gaven die veroverde broedplaatszone
Het onmaatschappelijke en ongewone.
Voor deze ‘excessen’ was geen plaats meer
In de binnenstad aan het IJ-meer.
Langzaamaan werd het verdreven,
Dat eigen, non-conforme leven.
Ieder geveltje, iedere straat, elke stoep
Werd aangeveegd en ontdaan van poep.
Renovatie, projectontwikkelaars, de rode loper,
Dat alles werd uitgerold voor de rijke koper.
Het grote geld werd als doel ingezet,
Veilige voorgeprogrammeerde pret.
Een laag glansvernis van het duurste soort,
Daalde neer op dit stedelijk oord.
Amsterdam werd prachtig en mooi,
Maar waar is die heerlijke zooi?
Waar zijn al die mensen gebleven
Uit Dat rauwe Amsterdamse leven?
De underground van deze stad
Sijpelt nog wel door in overgebleven gat.
Als een fenix, rijzend uit eigen vuur;
een nieuwe generatie, een nieuw uur.
maar op een dag herkennen ook zij,
Hun stad niet meer daar aan het ij.

Here are some more pictures of the Wallpaintings I did for Wildkat. I’m sorry that some of the pictures are a little blurry, but it’s all there’s left of the Wall Decorations.

When I stopped with ‘Jolly Roger’, I decided to end organizing parties completely. I still liked the name of that party and the Logo Design I did for it though. Since the ‘Jolie Rouge’ was the old name of the Pirate flag, it became the name for my Logo Design, Flags & Backdrop department.

In 2007 I was asked to put up a program one sunday a month in Winston Kingdom in Amsterdam. It was to be a Rock n’ Roll party called SideburnsStomp. I did everything myself and made a lot of backdrops for the bands that came and play on stage. Later I decided to change the name into Jolly Roger. That name made the flyer ‘concept’ easier to come up with. Under that name there where a few more editions, but in the end I pulled the plug. Too quiet! The bands you see here, with the backdrops in the background, are The Bloody Demons, The Body Bags and G.O.H. (Photo’s of G.O.H. taken by Willeke). From here I want to thank everyone who was involved and played on stage!

Another Logo I designed was for a product of a friend of mine. It was a Vodka drink and it was called ‘Hexen Elixir’. Of course at Medusa it was a popular beverage.

I recently got my hands on some photo’s which where taken on several 10.000 volt parties. This party was all about Punk and Rock n’ Roll. In the background you can see details of the Logo Flag I made for this party. It still exists in a new venue in Tilburg called ‘The Little Devil’.
