A Day at the Scrapyard

What a beautiful day at the yard! I realised I had missed it a lot. That location, the atmosphere, the cars, my paintings and the guys. We started early and worked hard all day to rescue as much as possible. Halfway through the day, we had visitors from the press and the Amsterdam Museum. They came to witness their works being cut out. I’ve got lots more to tell, but this is not a book, it’s my website. So Pictures!!
