PONY FINISHED. Posted by Sly 07-24-2008
It's finished. In September all pony's will be auctioned on eBay. More on that soon.
ALMOST DONE. Posted by Sly 07-23-2008
It's almost finished. Eyes are ready and the hair is black now. Also gave the pony some Chuck Taylors.
Tomorrow, I'll post some pictures of the finished pony on which a varnish coating was added.
Note the Chuck Taylors:
MORE PONY BUSINESS. Posted by Sly 07-10-2008
Hi Folks. Worked some more on the Pony. It's shaping up! I tried to create a 'jeans look', plus I started
working on the eyes.
Used some VERY basic markers. Yes, I'm playing Sailor Jerry as you can see. Wonder if he ever tattooed
a pony.
It's very clear now that I'm creating a pony covered in old school sailor tattoos from the 1950's.
Still lot needs to be done. Mostly details like finishing the eyes and add some more tattoos. All tattoos
were drawn freestyle onto the pony, so no guides or pre-drawn guiding lines. Of course I used some Sailor
Jerry flash as an inspiration. Next post soon!
PONY TALES. Posted by Sly 06-30-2008
I started working on (spray)painting the pony a few days ago. Henk ten Brink, an awesome decoration
painter I know, supplied me with all kinds of material to make it all much easier. Also he gave me some
great tips on how to use the primer and paint and told me what was the best way to start (Thanx Henk!).
Here are some pictures:
Hasbro delivered me a white pony. I first added a primer coating to make the spay paint stick on the pony.
I used Montana spray paint, normally used by graffiti artists. I added a basic yellow/sand-ish color first.
After that I added some highlights with an more pink-ish color.
I added some smurf-ish blue on the pony's rear end.
After that, an aerosol mist was added in a darker blue to create some accents. I used some bandage to create
a pattern.
That's all for now. More soon!
MY LITTLE PONY. Posted by Sly 06-23-2008
Together with some Dutch celebs and other artists I was asked to pimp a supersized white My Little Pony.
Hasbro, the company responsable for the world famous My Little Pony will be celebrating the 25th
anniversary of these beautiful toy-animals by auctioning all pimped pony's on Ebay. All proceeds of the
auction will go to War Child.
This month I will be posting pictures here of my Pony-pimping-actions.
Here's a (Dutch only) press release.
NO TURNING BACK. Posted by Sly 03-21-2008
Last month I've been putting together the album artwork of No Turning Back's upcoming new album
'Stronger'. This means doing the lay-out and design. It will be released through Reflections Records on
April 24th on CD and gatefold LP. Like their previous effort 'Holding On' it once again contains an
awesome drawing done by Dutch tattoo artist Bas Kahle. It looks rad! Be sure to order 'Stronger'

PSYCHOTIC ART EXHIBITION. Posted by Sly 12-24-2007
Yesterday, December 23rd, saw the opening of the Psychotic Art Exhibition at The Cantine in Amsterdam.
A selection of my work will be exposed until January 20th among some other artists who all share the love
of psychotic-minded artwork. During the opening there was live music, ambiance, drinks, friends and
great fun. Unfortunatly David Vicente and Von Bartmann could not make it to the expo. If you have
the chance, drop by at The Cantine some time. If you have any questions or want info on purchasing any
of my artwork, just send me an e-mail.
