This week’s Rod Art
This week we feature the work of Bruno Gruber who is a Digital Art on Textile Artist
Bruno says of his piece of art “These Pop Art portraits celebrate the enduring musical legacies of Billy Joel and Rod Stewart, highlighting their impact on the rock and pop music scenes.
Billy Joel, the piano man himself, captured hearts with his emotive storytelling and versatile style. The Pop Art portrait captures his timeless appeal and songwriting prowess.
Rod Stewart, the charismatic rocker, enchanted audiences with his raspy voice and energetic performances. The Pop Art portrait showcases his rock ‘n’ roll spirit and memorable hits.
These portraits honor the rock icons Billy Joel and Rod Stewart, reminding us of their unforgettable contributions to the world of music”.

A new LaFerrari
Rod posted s photo of his new LaFerrari that was waiting when he arrived “home at last in Blighty”. The new car is housed in a special green and white themed garage also has a Celtic logo on the back of the wall alongside an LaFerrari logo.
According to the official Ferrari website, the vehicle “boasts the most extreme performance ever achieved by a Ferrari production car and features the most advanced and innovative technical solutions which will, in the future, filter down to the rest of the Ferrari range.
“The LaFerrari is Ferrari’s first ever production car to be equipped with the F1-derived hybrid solution – the HY-KERS system – which combines an electric motor producing over 150 CV with the most powerful incarnation yet of Ferrari’s classic V12, with 800 CV at 9000 rpm.”
And it wasn’t too long before the supercar was spotted out and about
And Claire Newman was the first person to get a selfie with it ..and Rod of course.
Claire told SMILER “Rod’s car is awesome. My 7 year old was amazed by it as I wanted to show him”.
