Staging the Scene Edward Hopper Style
I cannot help but be reminded of Edward Hopper’s paintings when looking at Jan Pypers’ photography. The images are staged, and the lighting is set to perfection.

It's #LPPSaturday and #BlackLivesMatter ~ Let's celebrate the #Genius of #Prince and #TroyGua 'til the world stops spinning ~ Inspiration: #JoniMitchell • Love this?

Joni’s music should be taught in school." — Prince, 2004 . The threads of Joni Mitchell’s influence are woven throughout Prince’s life and career. He first discovered her as a teenager by listening to the Twin Cities rock radio station KQRS in the mid-1970s, when her single “Help Me” became a radio hit, and when she toured behind her album The Hissing of Summer Lawns — an album Prince would hail as one of his favorites a decade later in an interview with Rolling Stone — he went to see her perform in Minneapolis. . “I saw him in an audience at that time,” Joni Mitchell recalled in an interview with the British rock artist Morrissey in 1996. “I believe it was him. Front row to the left. Quite conspicuous because he's got those eyes like a puffin, those Egyptian eyes, those big, exotic eyes.” . References to Joni’s music would appear again and again in Prince’s work. The album artwork for Prince’s 1981 release Controversy contains a small nod to his hero, with her name printed between stars on one of the newspaper headlines in the collage. The title of the 1984 album he wrote for the Time, Ice Cream Castle, was borrowed from her song “Both Sides Now.” On the 1987 album Sign o’ the Times, he quotes her song “Help Me” in the lyrics for “The Ballad of Dorothy Parker.” . And in 2001, he recorded a cover of her song “A Case of You” for his album One Nite Alone…, and would continue performing a rendition of that song throughout his career, [beginning in 1983 and] including at the Piano & A Microphone Tour kick-off at Paisley Park in January 2016 and at his final concert in Atlanta on April 14, 2016. • #Prince4ever #LePetitPrince #LPPisART #TroyGuaArt #Surrealism #Photography #Sculpture #StagedPhotography #Miniatures #PopArt #ArtImitatingLifeImitatingArt • 💜♾ 👉 https://troygua.com/le-petit-prince 🌹🙏🏼☮️💜♊😎 https://www.instagram.com/p/CKHR6avl6BW/?igshid=njd3hwc4todg
It's #LPPSaturday and #BlackLivesMatter ~ Let's celebrate the #Genius of #Prince and #TroyGua 'til the world stops spinning. Inspiration: Studio Life . Love this? Join the club - literally! #ClubLPP 👉 patreon.com/clublpp . From 'Prince: The Story of 1999 bonus feature: The sound of Prince and Peggy McCreary' by Andrea Swensson: Peggy McCreary: 'I was just exhausted working with him because he never stopped. Which is why I taught him to record his own vocals, and everybody appreciated that. In Minneapolis when I did that panel with a lot of his engineers, I told them that I was just so tired and losing focus, and would miss a punch and he would get upset with me. And I said, "You know what, you can do this." I said, "I can set you up in here and you can punch yourself." And he said, "Really?" And I said, "Yeah." So that's what we would do, and I would hang the mic over and pull it down, and the engineers all leaned on the table and said, "That was you? Oh my god, thank you. That was the only time we got a break." I was talking to Susan Rogers in New York when we were walking down the street, and she said, "I remember one of the last things you told me, is that coffee loses its caffeine about a half an hour after you make it. So don't make him a fresh pot of coffee if you wanna go home.”’ . From Alan Light's 'Let's Go Crazy': "Prince had to make it happen, he had no choice," says Susannah Melvoin. "He was compelled, and he knew how to make everyone else feel that compulsion, too...He would call at 4am and say, "I'm cutting hits, what are you doing?' 'I'm sleeping.' 'Wrong answer' - and he'd hang up. You knew to get to the studio. Nobody was doing anything like that, and it moved us to believe in it. We got to do great things." . #Prince4ever #LePetitPrince #LPPisART #TroyGuaArt #Surrealism #Photography #Sculpture #StagedPhotography #PopArt #ArtImitatingLifeImitatingArt @SunsetSound . 💜∞ ➡️ https://troygua.com/le-petit-prince 🌹🙏🏼☮️💜♊😎 https://www.instagram.com/p/CIJCFUIFC5y/?igshid=1bzb5wkz2ebzb
It's #LPPSaturday and #BlackLivesMatter ~ Let's celebrate the #Genius of #Prince and #TroyGua 'til the world stops spinning ~ Inspiration: Yamaha CP-70 • Here's the debut of Le Petit Yamaha CP-70 I recently made! You can get behind the scenes and watch me make it AND help power the project (AND GET COOL STUFF!) by joining #ClubLPP ➡️ patreon.com/clublpp • The 4 Horse Crystal Ball is a mini-recreation of a statuette @jilljonesmusic posted a pic of recently - she gave one like it to Prince in 1982. • From @rollingstone, Inside Prince’s Brilliant ‘Piano & a Microphone 1983’ Album, by Kory Grow, September 21, 2018: “I was always hoping that these recordings were still around because of the feeling that’s in them,” Don Batts, Prince’s personal recording engineer in the early Eighties, tells Rolling Stone. He’s reflecting on a demo cassette he made with the artist released Friday as Piano & a Microphone 1983, 34 minutes of Prince sketching out song ideas by himself. “It’s just him pounding this idea out so he could come back later and fill in the blanks. These were his little grooves.” • From Yamaha: The CP-70 was an electric grand piano developed to deliver the depth of expression of an acoustic instrument while holding its own when performing on stage with electric guitars played at full volume through an amplifier and speakers. Very similar to a cut-down acoustic grand piano, the CP-70 features the same frame action and frame construction as an acoustic piano, but can be split into two cases for storage, and utilizes an electric guitar-style pickup system to pick up the sound for amplification via an amplifier. Its characteristic bright, edgy sound swept the music scene, with the CP-70 seeing extensive use in both live performance and recording scenarios. • #Prince4ever #LePetitPrince #LPPisART #TroyGuaArt #Surrealism #Photography #Sculpture #StagedPhotography #OneSixthScale #Miniatures #PopArt #ArtImitatingLifeImitatingArt @yamahamusicusa • 💜 x ∞ • ➡️ https://troygua.com/le-petit-prince https://www.instagram.com/p/CCyaz1NFx3o/?igshid=bjkw4tdc52yv
