I’m having fun uploading old and new and newish old music on Soundcloud. Almost daily uploads. Lots of synths and drum machines, weird experiments, odd demos. Take a listen! m.soundcloud.com/jvelez-40605... #electronicmusic #blueskymusic #synthsky

Whoa! Watching the Eddie Murphy doc on Netflix and blindsided by Eddie comparing “Ridiculousness” to #Jodorowsky 🤯

I hadn’t painted on canvas in 28 years until two days ago. It was a strange and lively feeling. Cheap canvas and acrylics wielded with love. #artsky #painting #blueskyart

"I will revenge my injuries; if I cannot inspire love, I will cause fear." - Mary Shelley, Frankenstein Remembering the incredible work of the late great Bernie Wrightson on his birthday 🖤

Excellent piece on the great Dave Ball.

Dave Ball’s passing is sad and bittersweet for me. Of all the 80’s UK synth geniuses Ball was, for me, the one who really touched me with the way he programmed his machines and constructed his arrangements. I was happy to be able to tell him this on FB some years ago.

The Jetty at Boulogne

A Holy Grail book when I was a kid. Found a beautiful mint copy today at the weekly antiquarian book market. €10 ( haggled down from €15). I almost popped a gasket when I saw it. #illustration #barrysmith #jeffjones #mikekaluta #berniwrightson

This quote came to mind thinking back on the last 10 years of influential, wonderful yet human persons who’ve left this plane. And what we’re left with… from a very old Arabic poem: “Iniquitous, unequalling death I would not complain if you were just but you take the worthy leaving fools for us.”

Any Vangelis fans out there? I just uploaded this beauty of a 1970s demo cassette (YES! that’s right) I’ve had for some years . Enjoy! PS No it’s not some AI fakery. #vangelis #synths #musicsky #synthesizer #electronicmusic m.youtube.com/watch?v=DKVc...

The Kim Deal album is great. I think a huge part is Marta Salogni’s excellent mix. Steve Albini’s work on here with the brass and strings is sweet as well. . . . #musicsky #production #kimdeal

Finding Art Director emails. The great mystery. Any tips from pros ? I feel like I’m trying to sneak into the Federal Reserve here.

SOC is a four color #zine I planned on publishing last autumn incorporating stream of consciousness #drawings and #comics. Several factors got in the way so it won’t see print. I uploaded the entire zine as a video on my website. Self-Published section on www.jorgevelez.art xx #blueskyart

Good read. Started this today. Charles Stein is an interesting fellow and his proposal for the validity of these ancient texts to the 21st C person is rich and illuminating. . . . #books #poetry #hermetica #ancients

No piece of scrap paper goes to waste around me. Possibly a psychological issue but I’m happy to embrace it. :-)) Draw, cook, make music, read, watch great films, enjoy the company of another or others when the clouds are dark overhead. . . . . #blueskyart #illustrator #cat
