The Top 100 started as a hobby; a fan adoring his musical heroes and paying tribute by making portraits of them. The hobby became obsession and the project went from the boy’s room into the art world. But I'm still that fan, it's about them in the end, their music, and not about me.

Ome Tini
Tien Burgers
7.75" x 6.75"
oil on wood, 2010
A little break from music now as I painted a portrait of man who has nothing to do with the Top 100 of 2010 but if I were to make a top 100 of my all time favorite people this person would sure score high. Tien Burgers is his name, or ome Tini, as I would call him. Last month my uncle Tini passed away after a short but intense battle with cancer. He was my favorite uncle, my godfather, and next door neighbor for a good part of my life. I will always remember him dearly. Rest peaceful dear uncle. My condolences to his family to whom I will send this painting. I wish them all the strength to carry on.
