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…

How delightful. Thank you for the all the care and skill you have put into this illustration. I was touched and intrigued by your particular interpretation of "C'est La Vie" to see how you had taken the piece beyond its original form of a study in melancholy.

"I received the package!!! Your talent is awesome! Thank you so much I love them. I have already framed them and have put in a place where my gaze will fall upon them frequently. I’m sure that everyone that visits my studio will also feel the Magical Radiance of your Work. I feel so lucky. I feel like I own a museum piece!

Koldo Barroso is a brilliant and very original artist. His uniquely beautiful style of illustration is inspirational. You can feel the joy and fun that runs through all of his work.
We were blessed to have him do the illustration and cover design for our album "Life Stories" and couldn't have been more delighted. I feel his energy and wonderful artwork are as much a part of the album as the music itself, it so captured the mood and meaning of the project.

"It is pure joy to enter the imagination of artist & writer, Koldo Barroso. His is a world of delightfully whimsical and bizarre characters brought to life with sensitivity, skill and humour.

This is creativity at its very best - inventive and poetical, its charm simply magnified upon repeated viewing.
Truly magical."

Lorell Lehman

Through Koldo Barroso’s art we see magical characters and are drawn into an enchanted world. His storytelling captures your imagination and heart as he weaves life into each of his drawings. I am in awe of his incredible talent and passion for not only his work but for life.
