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.

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.

Here you see the big Medusa Logo Backdrop. After Medusa was beheaded, there was another gothic party called Mordor. I also designed this Logo.

These are really the last Medusa Flags I’ve recently photographed. These Flags decorated the walls of the venue. Remember smells take you back in time? The smell of these flags really did take me back to the Force!

These pictures were taken at Cear Gwydion, a gothic party in Belgium. This was the first art-exhibition of my work at that time. This must have been in 2002.

These Flags were the first with blacklight paint. I’ ve been using it ever since. These were about the last flags I did for Medusa. Eventually we pulled the plug out of more than two years of Medusa events.

I will continue with more Wildkat art later. I wanted to show you more illustrations. I think the first Illustration will bring back memories to a lot of people who attended the Medusa parties. The Gothic Ankh design was and still is a flag that used to hang on the wall at the venue. The Oseberg 1 Design is based on a helmhead-carving found with the Oseberg vikingship. The Oseberg 2 Design is a fragment taken from an ornament of a Norwegian stavkirke.

Original Medusa Logo Design 01-2002
These were actually the first Logo Backdrops and the original Logo Design.
The Logo Design was done in a very short time. It needed to be finished quickly for the flyer.
There still is a flag with Medusa’ s head underneath her name.
The Medusa flag you see here was smaller because it was always inside.
The big one we used to hang outside above the entrance of the venue, for all to see!
The head is just a detail of that flag. I will post the full picture another time.
The original drawing of the Medusa head is on black paper.
I did that to see how I could translate the lighting of the face to a black background, like the textile I was going to use to make the backdrop.

This party flag was one of the first I did.
At the time, I was involved with a small group of people in
setting up a big monthly gothic-industrial party in Amsterdam.
It was to be called Medusa.
We wanted to decorate the venues, but the decorations had to be
easily transported and stored as well.
And also to promote the party there had to be a logo and that logo
had to be on flyers and a big backdrop on the front of the building.
A big part of that building still stands and has been renovated,
but sadly that brilliant part is gone! That’s why I’ve put the Memento Mori
Flag here first. Actually this flag was the first try-out of a new technique I had to invent to produce these decorations. The flag is entirely hand made and hand printed.
