Haste Makes Waste

Best wishes from Enkeling

Based on a lyric by the Jungle Brothers from their still extra fresh Done By the Forces of Nature.

“treble, bass, haste makes waste
nature puts things in the right place
hot baked carrot cake
in life there’s many things at stake”

I can’t really explain why but I just love these lyrics. Maybe because they’re from a time when hip hop was a bit more playful and I don’t know, goofy.

Artificials, Manmades

Best wishes from Enkeling

Based on a lyric by the Jungle Brothers from their still extra fresh Done By the Forces of Nature.

“artificials, manmades / they don’t use lemons to make lemonades
everything i see is half real / zipped-locked, rapped up signed and sealed”

Doomsday illustration for Faesthetic

Click on the image to enlarge.
My contribution to the latest edition of Faesthetic. The theme was Doomsday. Somehow I got credited as ‘Syman Veenstra’ instead of Enkeling, but hey, it is me folks.
The background is black on black, in print it’s very subtle. Nice.
Faesthetic # 7 can be ordered here.
