2006


20 Years Old

This is a sort of relief, a sort of revolution of what I am. The age of twenty is a sign that everything is evolving but yet feels very sad and empty. The woman on the picture is an example of the way life was in the 70's, which I am fascinated about.

Anarchy In The Uk

This is about something I thought I was, something I thought I felt. Not meaning I am an anarchist, I am not. I just feel this is the part of me that feels like I want to do something about the world. Okay obviously a bit inspired by the Sex Pistols song but hey they where great!

Angry

Lyrics by Leonard Cohen "In My Secret Life".

Apology

Just a random picture text is from a poem I wrote called "Apology".

Bollocks Dearie

Don't know what this is supposed to be but I enjoyed playing with the colours. Perhaps it represents the spring with all it's butterflies.

Postcard

I thought this would look like a nice postcard.

Chop Me Up

Trying new things on for size.

You Don't Fool Me

Message is pretty clear isn't it? Picture was taken in London.

Butterfly

A very alive picture due to it's colours. It is in contrast with the text though. The text is a bit on the sad side. The drawing of the woman isn't mine but seemed to suit this picture.

The Code

Try to find the secret message.

Childish Graffiti

A wall graffiti picture which I added some colour. It's a bit out of focus but I like it.

In Memory Of

Friend request.

Life Got In The Way

This in my vision is a wall splattered with paint with a very serious message. Not of the happiest messages if you ever felt like that. Perhaps it is from a movie can't really remember but do know I remember it for some weird reason.

Antwerpen

Picture taken in a pub in Antwerpen. Irish pub... Guinness sign.

Leave Now

This is an alternative picture of me. Text by Johnny Cash, "Hurt".

Mickieh Logo

Official logo I use.

Mickieh Logo 2

Another logo I have made.

Love Versus Lust

This was actually a black and white picture, added colour and made some enchancements. End result looks good. It is supposed to be a man and a woman if it is not clear... the title speaks for itself.

Mickieh

Well this is me, I wanted to use this as a display picture but never did.

The Mind

One of the few pictures I made which I dare to show that have my own text. Did blur it out though... picture was also made from scratch besides the hand, I'm good but not that good, yet!

Mother

Picture of my mother, made it totally out of focus so you almost don't recognize her. Text is from a John Lennon song called "Mother". It does have some meaning.

Mouth

The background of this picture is a painting which my mother made called Mouth. Enchanced it a bit to make it more out of focus plus added some text. Lyrics from David Bowie's song "Rock 'N' Roll Suicide", one of my all time favourite songs.

Naked

Lyrics by Tracy Bonham, Naked.

Not Right

Just a human reaction to pain. Lyrics by Portishead "Roads".

Painting Of A Good Time

These are two men drinking beer which is very common from where I come from. I don't know the two men who are in this picture but liked the way they had fun. Did have to change the picture a lot to get the end result as it is just a simple picture taken with a camera.

Perfection

I like this one a lot, it is like a puzzle. I have taken facial feautures from several female celebrities pretty ones obviously and placed them all together to make the perfect looking woman, result speaks for itself. Isn't really that pretty is it? Guess though which the celebrities are.

(S)Aint

The background is supposed to be an old letter to someone. With blood on it which indicates somewhat hurt felt. The text upon it are from a Marilyn Manson song called "(S)Aint" which I felt like my feelings where at the time.

The Sinners CD Cover

A cd cover I made for a random music collection.

So Jealous

An abstract picture made from scratch to show an emoticon of something that's missing.

Spaced Out

Colorful fireworks, a bit abstract but nice.

Stupidity Kills

Ever had a moment you couldn't stand someone because they didn't understand you? Now you can show them this picture, go on! When I made this I was in such a mood, and yes Ethan it is about you, you idiot!

Sunset

A magical place which I seem to be part of.

Talk

This is a picture in which I erased the person's face entirely. Believe it or not this was a normal picture. I like the outcome how about you?

The Revolution

To be honest, in this picture I wanted to transform a picture into pop art such as Lichtenstein's pop art. Failed miserably plus it took ages so I turned it into something entirely different. It's nice though. If you'd see the original you'd see a lot of diffrences.

Just Too Long

This is a picture of me (obviously), having a good time in Greece. It seems in times like those you forget all your problems and just relax. The text is a bit about that. Things where actually easier before the age your allowed to drink or even enjoy it.

Try

Just how the mind works, mine at least.

Unlovable

This is a picture I took when I was in Cambridge, very nice place. It actually was a sunny day but I darkened the picture to get a bigger reaction of the text which are lyrics to Darren Hayes's song "Unlovable".

What A Mess

Looks a bit like Stupidity Kills but it has more personal elements. Such as pictures of myself, quotes etc. It's suppose to be something like those boards you place notes on and photos.

Wicka

Just a random picture.


2005


Dancing In The Night

Huge painting my mother made very lightly enchanced. Just brought out the colours a bit more.

Eyes

This is my first succesful picture I've made at least I think so. The paint on it is from another painting my mother made. But just a small part of it. The part I like the most.

Future Look

Very good abstract picture.

In The Hands Of God

One of the most famous paintings all messed up. See if you can still figure out which painting it is!

One In Love

Think the poem is very good.

The King Of God

This is supposed to be a book cover.

Irony

Painting I made on a canvas, you must like that sort of technique though. Have no idea why I called it Irony but it felt right at the time.

Father

This is my father when he was young. Nice smile on his face.

Turn Away

A way of painting, with small points but no need for paint and a canvas.

The World

Another random picture to try out some things.


2004


Anique

This is my mother. Isn't she beautiful? Have no idea how old she is here but do know this picture represents her character. Something about this picture tells me I was born in the wrong time.

Anique 2

Again my mother, this is like a modeling picture. Hadn't to do much on this picture. People always say mothers are special but that's not the reason, this woman is just SPECIAL all by herself. Looking at it very objective.

Another Me

Can't actually believe this is me! Ah well it is. Can't recognize myself though, I hardly look like a girl. We all go through crazy fazes in our lives I suppose, this is one of those fazes. I do like this picture as it reminds me of all the things I'm capable of.

New Found Glory

Me once more much younger though. Just a bit more colourful.

Life

This is a very well known picture I think it's called "Egg". Don't remember who's it is though, again echanced it.

Freedom

Yet another painting I made, bad picture quality though. Old mobile phone you see. Dolphins represent freedom because they are able to live in it. Concept of the painting is not original but I do know the person who has the original.

Marina

Just a picture for a friend.

May You Get What You Want

This is supposed to be a curse...

New York New York

Me and my mother in New York a sort of Andy Warhol thing going on plus me in a blond wig!

Nothing Left

Another version of the "Egg" less obvious though.

Prague In My Mind

Another Andy Warhol collage of a place I think is inchanting.

Psychedelic

Again a version of the "Egg". Wasn't that experienced with Photoshop back then but give me credit for trying.

Retro Life

This is an underwater picture taken to another level.

Synthetic Dreams

Original picture didn't look anything like this, enough said.

Underwater

Two people underwater.

Valerie And Iris

One of the first pictures I ever made, me and my cousin Iris in Greece.
