to Freedom and Robbin' the Hood ) were quite popular in the United States, Sublime did not experience major commercial success until 1996 with their self-titled third album. Sublime released three studio albums, one live album, five compilation albums (one of which also contains never-before released material), three EPs and one box set. In 1997, posthumous songs such as “Santeria”, “Wrong Way”, “Doin' Time”, and “Ap(Miami)” were released to U.S. Nowell died of a heroin overdose in 1996. Michael ‘Miguel’ Happoldt and Marshall Goodman “Ras MG” contributed to and co-wrote several Sublime songs. Lou Dog, Nowell’s dalmatian, was the mascot of the band. The band’s line-up, unchanged until their breakup, consisted of Bradley Nowell (vocals and guitar), Eric Wilson (bass) and Bud Gaugh (drums). 0 g.Sublime was an American ska punk and alternative rock band from Long Beach, California, formed in 1988. The book and the act of reading constitute a fixed topos in his work but when I look at his paintings, I never think of his patrons: although he is also an illustrator, Jan De Maesschalck has long been an autonomous planetoid. As happy as possible in a self-imposed isolation.

Jan De Maesschalck often paints secluded girls and women, reading on their own, steeped in a parallel world, submerged with bated breath. Sublime solitude is something different from utter isolation. Ce livre presente une selection personnelle de l'oeuvre peint de cet artiste, complete par textes de Rudy Vandendaele, Bernard Dewulf, Marc Ruyters en Jeroen Laureyns. Dit najaar verschijnt 'BOEK', een persoonlijke selectie uit het werk dat de kunstenaar de laatste jaren schilderde, aangevuld met teksten van Rudy Vandendaele, Bernard Dewulf, Marc Ruyters en Jeroen Laureyns.

Van deze illustrator-schilder verscheen bij Oogachtend in 2002 'Jan De Maesschalck', een verzameling van illustraties rond het thema boeken, gemaakt in opdracht van de krant De Morgen. Paperback, 260x210mm, 128p, throughout colour illustrations, English/ French/ Dutch (NL) edition.
