The North Sea Jazz Festival is an annual festival held each second weekend of July in the Netherlands. It gathers some of the best of the best and some incredible young musicians. It used to be held in The Hague but since 2006 it has been held in Rotterdam Ahoy venue.
Marcus Miller has played with all of the greats, and his bands, very rhythmic and with a heavy accent on percussion, tend to bring forward some of the best young soloists around.
Miller gives them freedom to create and explore. The result is mesmerizing.
The exhibition ends Friday October 20th. I am donating 10% of everything produced from the sale of my works to the American Red Cross Hurricane Relief Fund.

It was in the middle of 2007 that I started work on this painting.
For some reason (most probably the fact that bike lanes had been built in my city and bikes had started popping up where before you would only see trucks, cars, and buses) the theme caught my eye (there is a vastly different City Bike II as well that came after).
It is a crazy bike. Speedy, splashing, rushing in the middle of a late afternoon in a big town. And yet there is no one on it.
It just rides on its own. It´s a new urban dweller with a life, mind and purpose that is separate and free from whomever theoretically owns it.
It´s leaving everything behind, lonely, purposeful, and yet we don´t know where it´s going. From our point of view, it is just passing us by, as if saying:”sorry, I have somewhere to go, another place to be”.
