This mixed media drawing is a self portrait from 1982. You'll see the tattoo: The first part was a chinese dragon put on his arm when being an able bodied sailer, he turned 16 in a Chinese port. It seems he lost his virginity the same night thanks to his mates. He kept adding things to the tattoo and changing it. So one day in Antwerp he had put around the dragon: Life is a bowl of blue soup and loving. A few years later the 'and loving' was changed also in Antwerp for some flowers. He had a dog then, a Belgium shepard, called Song. It was a dark time in his life. The drawing is called a België song...
