Went to the museum today. Michelangelo's Men at the Teylers yin Haarlem

I've just released 50 handmade stickers to the store! You can buy them in a randomized lot of 5. Not only that, but 7 original paintings and 2 new dolls were also just listed! www.etsy.com/shop/leirinc...

Lovely present from my daughter

Listening to the #snob2000 on @pinguinradio.bsky.social Many great songs coming up today, and also one by my favourite band, Sparks

It's a shame I can't work in this tomorrow. On the other hand, I have time to think about what to do next: Continue with pencil or switch to pastel

Happy Holidays from Sparks! 🎄✨

Latest acquisition! Peeled off the sticker just a bit to see the number and then put it back. Looks great on the turntable. I have the feeling this was its first ever spin.

Our team's Xmas quiz was today. None of them got the tie-breaker right. Answers ranged from 3 (do these people even know me???) to 14, with 3 people just 1 off.

A week until Christmas! Keep your chocolates safe!

Good morning!

Keeping my fingers crossed. I found a copy of "you've earned the right to be a dick" on a Dutch website. Just contacted the seller.

Vorto 16-Dec Pogingen: 1/6 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 That feels nice. Yesterday I didn't get the word and ended my 168-day streak.

It's Sunday. I did a drawing. Ron Mael of Sparks in soft pastel on pastelmat. #fanart #ronmael #portraitdrawing #pastelportrait #pasteldrawing

Excited to have front row tickets!

I am in #Whamhalla That didn't take long #whammagedon

Apparently the VIP packages are in presale through the Live at Chelsea website, so I caved and ordered front row tickets.

Annoying system in the presale. I didn't like the assigned seats, so didn't buy anything.

VPRO stopt met Zomergasten en Vrije Geluiden. Als het in dit tempo doorgaat blijft denk ik alleen nog het Journaal over en de intocht van Sinterklaas bij de PO. www.vpro.nl/artikelen/pr...

Today I was asked to host the team's Xmas quiz. I think I will add this question (if my co-host allows it): On a scale from Mad! to Maddest!, how many Sparks shows did Sonja attend this year? a. Mad! (1-6) b. Madder! (7-12) c. Maddest! (>12)

Bloody hell. My phone decided to participate in the monthly alert test. That was LOUD

"First 2026 live show announcement"??? Woohoo!

My husband was ordering art supplies for his dad and invited me to add some stuff. So some paper and pencils are on their way.

Ron wishes everyone a happy Saturday! #ronmael #sparks_official #fanart #portraitdrawing #portraitart

You just died. The sixth picture in your phone gallery is what killed you.

It's Friday!!! Have a great weekend everyone, with lots of Goofing Off! #ronmael #russelmael #fanart

They named this kitten "Fall Out Boy". I would have named it Russell. www.instagram.com/p/DQcIeDyEShs/

OK, BlueSkyers - prove you're better than Twitter and drop me your email so I can send you my LEGENDARY TOPICAL FUN END-OF-YEAR QUIZ loved by many including national treasures.

Charcoal sketches of Ron Mael. I did set out to do a full colour portrait, but not everything works out the way you plan.

What in the f*ing AI hell is this??? Found on Fine Art America

Ik heb in de @snob2000.bsky.social op Sparks gestemd. Mijn top 24: stemmen.snob2000.nl/gestemd/bzrg #snob2000 Of course I voted for @sparksofficial.bsky.social

My Saturday. Saw some @sparksofficial.bsky.social in my local record store and framed the signed photo from the VIP package.
