The Sea Goat at Song Soup on Sea

December 30th, 2009

The illustration of “The Song of the Sea Goat” that I produced in 1990, based on a poem/song by Peter Sinfield has been placed at Song Soup On Sea, the artist’s official web site, to illustrate his paradigmatic and mysterious poetry. This is such an enormous honor for me as you can imagine!

Peter and designer Joanne Roffey are currently doing a remake on the site and it’s looking just great! Some great features have been added, including RSS feeds so the fans can now be updated about Peter’s forthcoming works. By the way, next year we will see the release of Peter Sinfield’s masterpiece album from 1973, “Still”. It has been re-mastered and it sounds terrific!

You can now download for free for a limited period some full tracks from the album at Peter’s web site, including “The Song of the Sea Goat”, which I highly recommend you.

This is truly one of the most influential music albums in my work and my life. It has an intangible magic quality hard to describe but it certainly drives you to a very unique reality. I see it like the music that you could hear inside the mind of a poet who paints with words. Just check out some of the songs and tell me what you think…

Thank you so much Carolyn! Talent is useful but it won’t take me anywhere without the love and support of people like you!

Happy new decade to you and Aiyana!

Words from the readers...

Kooky Pets is a beautifully illustrated book, full of characters that will make you laugh and wonder about your own Kooky Pet. If I had children, I would buy a copy and share it with them every night. I don’t have children, so I can’t share it with them. But you know, reading through this reminds me how much fun it was to play with the Kooky Pets of my childhood. It brings me so much joy to read and look at, I just might have to buy a copy to share with myself every night!

I love everything about the book: the wonderful illustrations (obviously), the layout that compliments them so well, all those awesome black and white decorations, the fonts, the text itself, the handwritten notes surrounding every pet, the… everything.

This is a book for twilight, to read by the light from a jar of fireflies. It draws you into a fantastical part of our world that’s there if you just look for it hard enough. It’s fantastical creatures are brimming with personality and each one is looking for friendship. They say that each of us has our own Kooky Pet just waiting to find us.

In his own unique way and with this unique and perceptive vision (mixed with a generous dollop of gentle humour), Koldo has created a book that is, at its core, about love, honesty, acceptance and a generosity of spirit. The delightful optimism of childhood is alive in these pages.
