Nine Objects

I’ve been loving Suzanne Vega’s music since her very first album back in 1985. A friend played it for us at a house party, and it landed very well with us all. Thanks Jan!

This is the album cover for her 1996 release. It opens with the powerful “Birthday” about giving birth to her daughter Ruby, and contains a lot of great tracks. It is one of my favourite albums of hers.

I can’t believe it’s been 19 years already!

Vector drawing of Suzanne Vega's cover to the album "Nine Objects of Desire" from 1996. It's a close-up shot of her holding a green apple in front of her right eye. She's got short, red hair and is photographed in front of a green backdrop. The contrasts are dramatic.

#AtariVCS is a video #game console developed and mass produced by Atari for the home entertainment of Warner, Inc.
With an introduction price under US$200 the VCS became the first affordable and popular #microprocessor-based game console in the consumer market.

The Atari Video Computer System was built around the 8-bit MOS 6507 CPU @1.19 MHz and swappable ROM #cartridges to expand the memory limits of 128 bytes RAM. Initially released 1977 with Tank Combat and later #Pac-Man included, bundled with two #joysticks and a pair of paddles this legendary #Atari console opened up game development, cartridge production, and sales far beyond #ActiVision.

While VCS couldn't challenge #arcade hardware in graphics, flexibility was the advantage and the wood grain finish by Gene Landrum made it stylish on top of that. The #game-market started with only 8 titles like #Pong and grew fast over #Breakout, #Asteroids, #SpaceInvaders, #Pitfall, E.T., Frogger and many more. It was the big selection of games available that made Atari's #console a huge success.

After Sears sold it as Tele-Games Video Arcade for less, the VCS was rebranded 1982 as #Atari2600. Low production costs of $40 kept revenue coming in even when sales prices dropped on average of $125.
15 million ACS and estimated 120 million cartridges been sold before the video game crash of 1983. And the ACS was profitable for almost the next decade, but 1992 after 30 million sold units the production was finally stopped.

Maybe the best thing of our #retrogaming #hardware #illustrations isn't the level of #details, but the proof that You don't need to pay for #Adobe #Illustrator #AI or #PostScript to create #retrocomputer #art in best #vector #quality. Since we use only #FreeSoftware and with the #graphic description open like #SVG, there is no obstacle to be #creative #together. Follow #ITsHistory to see what else you could do with powerful #FOSS like #Inkscape

Weather Report

Domino Theory, 1984

What a ride… The span of Weather Report’s sprawling catalog is really wide. The band’s composition has had so many great artists in their lineup in addition to founders Joe Zawinul and Wayne Shorter. Schooled in jazz among leaders like Maynard Ferguson, Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, Cannonball Adderley and Miles Davis – Weather Report became their next big thing.

Personal preference of course, but I do like the albums “Heavy Weather”, “Procession”, “Sportin’ Life” and their final “This Is This” the best. Possibly the ones with a little more traditional structure?

Notable members and guest artists include

  • Jaco Pastorius, bass
  • Victor Bailey, bass
  • Alphonso Johnson, bass
  • Miroslav Vitouš, bass
  • Omar Hakim, drums
  • Peter Erskine, drums
  • Steve Gadd, drums
  • Narada Michael Walden, drums
  • Don Alias, percussion and drums
  • Carlos Santana, guitar

I had the pleasure to catch Wayne Shorter live once, and managed to get this shot from the performance in Stockholm on June 10th, 2010.

Here with Brian Blade on drums and John Patitucci on bass. I’m pretty sure Danilo Perez is on keyboards just out of frame to camera left.

And oh, yes – Domino Theory album cover is re-created using Affinity Designer. Type set in Swiss 911 Extra Condensed.

Du 18 au 27 juillet 2025, les plages des Côtes d’Armor accueilleront les Estivales de Volley en Bretagne. Pour accompagner ce temps fort de l’été, j’ai imaginé un univers peuplé de personnages marins (crustacés, pieuvre) devenus les mascottes de l’événement. De véritables héros du tournoi !
