Last summer Onra played at a Patchwork Night. We had a great time and I came up with the idea to do him a piece of clothing. He wanted me to do a Baatin sweatshirt. Time passed and I never did the sweatshirt. Then just recently I decided to invite him to a Patchwork PopUp to hold my promise and finish that Baatin custom-made clothing!!! There you go! Pics with Onra wearing it will be up soon!

I am currently working on a Baatin Jacket for Onra. The background will be different on his jacket, but I thought I put this on the art blogg. There you go!

Growing up with lots of Soul and Jazz Records and Musicians visiting, I still take a lot of inspiration out of that. Woody Shaw doing a headstand in our livingroom, Billy Higgins and Clifford Jordan sitting in the Kitchen or Dee Dee Bridgewater and her daughters celebrating Christmas with us. My father used to have a hat, Babz Gozales used to wear. There was "LA LA" stitched on to that hat. This expression somehow stick with me from little on. I connect it still very strong with all the music there is that I love and I heard. There are no boundaries, no limits, no categories just "LA LA". Somehow I wanted to do a special cover for one of my mixes and I ended up doing plenty of LA LA CD Cases for my LA LA mixes. There you go....
