CIPH BARKER

Holland hasn’t got too many English lyracists any more since the Nederhopa scene started rapidly growing. A buble has formed, a language barrier has been built. However, there is a small group of writers that do want to spread their words internationally. In 2004, SuperCharger Records was founded, and I went to one of the guys to see what’s happening nowadays. Bring your leish, and focus on my man: Ciph Barker.

The Dutch sweet water ponds hold a lot more sharks than most fish hope for.

RECALCITRANT

translation:
I always do stuff when I need to do stuff
but the stuff I need to do, I do not

That is pretty much me at this moment
And thanks Brith for teaching me those nice words, you’re awesome!

PRECIOUS POSSESSIONS

Lately I have been in pretty odd situations, and took souvenirs where possible.
These five are my favourite objects within reach, precious.

HIDDEN POEM

When digitalizing the ISTD sketchbook this page caught my eye. I made it myself of course, bot forgot about it, that is probably why I wrote it down haha. The little poem says:

The biggest treasure on the planet
is filled with emotion and sound
‘Cause who needs money when he believes
music makes the world go round?

RORSCHACH RESEARCH

Always having been fascinated about the Rorschach ink blot test, and after seeing Watchmen finally knowing what the test is called  I decided to do some research on it. There are already plans for commercial uses of this project, you don’t get to see my written research, but you can see a few handmade expiriments in this post.

WEBLOG ENTRY #1

When I upload new things on my portfolio website I always miss the fact that I can’t explain the thought behind it, the proces, or show variations. Therefore today I finally started a descent weblog. The portfolio site won’t change a lot, for updates you wll have to be here. Feel free to come back regulary, there should be new work pretty often.

Peace, J.
