Vincent and I found each other the way a lot of modern friendships begin: commenting on the same Facebook posts and recognizing something familiar in the other person's perspective.

What followed was nearly fifteen years of daily conversation—a transatlantic friendship between a one-man rock band from Cincinnati and a Belgian comic artist living in Arizona. We were connected by music, art, humor, and the particular struggle of being creative people in a world that does not always know what to do with us.

Vincent created artwork for me constantly, often without being asked. I always paid him, but the money was never what drove him. He loved the music. He wanted to contribute. The artwork became another way for us to build something together.

His final completed work for me was the cover art for “Close My Eyes Forever.” The release later crossed one million plays on Facebook. He never got to see that milestone, but his work helped make the moment possible.

Every piece in this archive was created by Vincent specifically for Dr. OMEB. He is still part of the visual history of the band—and now, part of the walls of Rock n' Roll Church.
