Good Times #63 'Into the Light' by Simon Berndt
My Name is Simon Berndt. I'm a Cape Town based illustrator and one of the founding members of Psych Night and Endless Daze Festival.
I work with a lot of musicians and events and music is the driving force and life blood of a lot of the work that I do.
This collection of songs is at times light, at times sad and at times slow but is punctuated by beautiful and uplifting moments and for me is both a record and representation of my last 12 months during which these songs and artists have provided me solace and companionship.
