Good morning guys, let's play a game... what was I thinking on this set of pictures? π€ππ€ͺ
These were taken by Evert ArraΓ±aga in September 2021 and I thought they would make a nice #throwbackthursday βΊοΈ we played a little game of character study.
Things are slow this week, the last days of each chemo cycle are like this, I have to follow a tight schedule of meals and rest and can't do much else. The other day even the TV remote weighed a ton, craz...

Hey guys! Today I have a nice demo for you. I think I actually like this one better than the one I released π
As you know, with chemo I have a lot of downtime. Those pills really sap my energy, so I can't do much more than rest and lie on the recliner for most of the second week of each round. What do I do to keep myself occupied? I listen to the demos of the songs I'm writing for my next album and I also go through my vault and listen to demos and previous albums and take notes and ...

Good morning guys, I've been super busy editing the new music videos and almost forgot to post the final gallery from this photo shoot π

It was supposed to be a two part post, but since I got delayed, here's the full set, hope it's not too much for Patreon π€ͺπ
Editing is going well, I was able to get a little more than half of the Turn Back The Clock music video edited. I'm ahead of schedule for the first time in months. Which is good because I'm get...

Good morning guys, a friend told me yesterday that he was planning to visit Maspalomas beach in the Grand Canary Islands and I remembered this photo shoot we did there in 2013. What a beautiful place. ππΌ
It was around 6pm, we had the beach to ourselves and took lots of pictures that I've been able to edit and make look better than ever. I love how technology is progressing these days! βΊοΈ
I was working all day yesterday on the upcoming music video, and I did a lot of deta...

Good morning guys, today while going through my vault looking for stuff to use in the music video I'm working on for "Turn Back The Clock" I found this selection of pictures from my first "official" photo shoot as Benjamin Koll πΌ
The pictures were taken by my (now) husband during my first visit to Guadalajara (Mexico) on April 29th, 2015. At that time I had decided to quit my career as a mainstream music producer to follow this dream of mine to finally dare to be an ...

Good morning everyone! As we approach this year's Christmas season, I'm preparing for you a December full of Santa joy and surprises π
πΌππ.
I'm going to keep yesterday's new "Can I Be Loved" music video pinned to my profile for a few more days so you don't miss it. Now I'm working on two other videos, which I hope to have ready in time.

Hey guys, it's finally here! This is the "Adamite" version of "Can I be Loved", a music video that has been a long time in the making.
I shot this video last year and released a YouTube version and another uncensored version here and on my other subscription sites. The uncensored version has some shots (on digital screens) of me without clothes, because that was the original idea ...

Yesterday I was able to start filming a new music video (won't say more so as not to jinx it π

Hey guys, just as I shared yesterday's post about the new version of "Can I Be Loved", I found the first five stills in this post. They are the original screen and FX tests I did for this special version π.
The last 4 stills are actually from the new cut. Some of these ideas may or may not make it into the final cut. In my experience, I have to let the edit speak, and as I continue to create different scenes and put them together, the final version will take shape.
I have two ...

Hey guys, I'm finally ready to edit the alternate version of "Can I Be Loved" that I filmed. A full frontal video, raw and maybe a little too intense...
I found the term "Adamite" and thought it was a cheeky way to refer to the lack of clothing and avoid trouble with the censors. It's a word that describes ascetic individuals who have entered a reborn state of heavenly innocence.
You can find the uncut version of the video here (look in the video collection or cli...

Why such a hurry? Well, you know I have limited energy these days, I can usually do things until 12pm but that's it, the rest of the day I need to rest and take it easy. The thing is that Les Wright (founder of the Bear History Proj...

Hey guys, musical genius and one of the best music producers of all time (if not the best) Quincy Jones passed away yesterday. And I thought I would share this rare item in my vault with you so you can see the influence his work has had on me.
And I am not going to get into his work with Frank Sinatra here, although I think that would be my favorite thing he did.
One of the best ways to learn anything is through imitation. Painting is an interpretation of rea...

Then I included the two additional ones we took, not as good, but just as revealing π.
Evert ArraΓ±aga was the photographer. I just blurred the background and fixed the color, the rest is as it was. I've used some of these on other edits and artwork before, but they were more heavily processed. I found the originals the other day and thought it would be fun to ...

Here are three more pics from this "lost" photo shoot from last February.
Sorry for the silence the last days, I finished the second chemo cycle and felt more tired than expected, so I was mostly resting and taking it easy.
I was also a little disappointed because another idiot is creating profiles and sharing pictures from here, misleading and scamming people. The problem is that Facebook, Telegram and others don't care abo...
