Downwards we see the young Sydney enjoying the Ibiza sunshine during the old days as well as a few of his old Ibiza art pieces and drawings which nowadays are sold for over 170.000 thousand dollars or more, his drawings made in bars or Restaurants on spanish napkins/serviettes go out from 4000 to 7000 euro per piece. (motivated by Dali and Teister) Lord Sydney is probably one of the most expensive living artists as was his colleague and friend Andrew Vicari. Further we see one of Antonio Torres's nicest drawings of Ibiza's old town (D'alt Vila). Photo collage downwards we recognize i.e. Ernst Vrijbrief, Jan-Gerhard Toonder, Lord Sydney (Close looking at the camera) and on the right we see Antonio Torres, Bernie Bishop and Juanito Bahia (Restaurant). Under. Having a meal, Curro de Utrilla (Owner of the Ibiza bullring) with Lord Sydney in a later opoque at Juanito Bahia's restaurant. Right under, The young Sydney with Ibiza in the background.

ANTONIO TORRES (One of his unique works)
Artist Alain Teister and the young communicator and artist Sydney who all stayed and lived on Ibiza during the golden days use to meet-up frequently for artistic discussions in Ibiza town. Alain Teister/Jacques Boersma was the motivator behind the young Sydney to get him started with painting just as Salvador Dali. Their meeting places included Juanito Bahia's chicken restaurant, Los Pasajeros, the Delfin verde, Bar Estrella and La Noguera. It was at La Noguera where the young Sydney was asked during a few tapas by the art elite to become their representative and start selling their work to his contacts. Dali, Teister and Torres would than take the young communicator and artist to Casa Verdera and bought him all the paint he needed to do his own first paintings guided by his artist friends. The young Sydney was a great pr boy and managed to sell quite a few paintings and other works for his artist friends and apart from creating his own art he saved quite a few artists from falling apart, hunger for food or money or by telling a few to stop the Absinth. Tony, Ernesto, Alain, Sydney and the rest also frequently stayed on Formentera with its paradise beaches and they use to hang out in San Fernando and San Fransisco, places where they created new energy and new ideas but, also at Sydney's old friend Erik K De Vries's house Can Erik in Es Pujols, of course Fonda Pepe was their regular bar hang-out who didnt go there? The best of the sixties and seventies.
More recently (as of year 2000) our reporter Lenny Berman visited Formentera and saw (by pure chance) artist painter Yehuda Neiman with Lord Sydney who were spending some time in the campo and between Estrella and Fonda Pepe. They also visited their old places of the past once more.
