I have been engaged in art for most of my life. When I was a lad I was more interested in writing, especially novels. Later I got into writing songs, taught myself to play the guitar and the bass and joined several bands. Later I created my own bands and even had a pretty decent home studio where I recorded many of my tunes. Later, and all of this was intertwined with my service in the Army and later my work in the police service, I got into painting. I was enrolled at uni and took drawing and painting as electives and got to really like it. My first paintings were done in oil and oil pastels. They sold rather well and quickly, but since it was in the days where there were no iPhone cameras I’ve no pictures of them. But I do recall that I painted them while my cat, Kitri was rummaging through the paints and getting greens, blues and reds all over her white coat…
Well, it took some time, but time passes and one must do something, so what I did was that I put my painting on hold, (actually for almost 7 years) and I decided to draw. It is very important to develop the skill of drawing and I experimented with ink, and with different types of graphite. I avoided charcoal or crayons because I found them messy and un-necessary. So these are some of the drawings I call «Pre- (or proto) Jazz Art». The Jazz art ones came about a year or two later…
