Addiction

Leave a Comment



   I've always loved books but these days I find myself addicted to everything visual.
   Magazines, blogs, books and exhibitions. Fortunately for me a lot of new books
   came my way the past few weeks as a gift, found treasure or just bought by myself.
   My most recent favorites are:

   + Charley Harper, an illustrated life (see this previous post)
   + Happy animal time by Junzo Terada
   + De Sjaal by Francis Durbridge (coverdesign by Dick Bruna)
   + Miniburger Dirty dozen & lucky 13th, 13 comic booklets by different artists
   + Wannee Kookboek, 15th edition of the original cookbook (1910) of the 
      Amsterdam school of home economics
   + 30 minutes meals and Jamie at home by Jamie Oliver

Mail for Sandra

   I'm following Sandra Juto's blog for a while now and I love it so much, I wanted to send
   her a little something to say thanks for all the inspiration.... (I can't show what it is
   right now because it has to be a surprise)... I really hope she likes it!

   Also nice work here.

Workshop

   The workshop 'illustration on porcelain' I'm teaching started this week. Although two
   and a half hours turned out a bit short, beautiful drawings and collages were made.
   Next lesson, we'll put the designs onto the china.

Goodbye

   A little box with symbolic personal treasures to bring along on 'the last journey'.
   For a special person of whom I had to say goodbye.

Little record case

Leave a Comment

   A while ago, I found this little record case in a second hand shop. I totally forgot about
   it and rediscovered it today in a corner of my studio... and turned it into a box for my
   'illustrator-equipment-on-the-go'.

   I was browsing through some blogs (Camilla Engman, Shelf) and came across
   Rob Ryan. I've know his work for a while but didn't know he also owned a little shop
   called Ryantown in London. I MUST remember to visite when I'm in London again!

Flea market

   Last sunday, me and my friends sold some clothes and stuff at the 'IJhallen flea market'
   in Amsterdam. The market took place in a beautiful (but cold) old factory building.

Beautiful old things

Leave a Comment

   I found a box with some old tools and other pretty things. I think it belonged to my
   grandfather who was a skillful carpenter in his spare time.

   New fabrics from Carol Cox (a little quilt shop in Utrecht. Although I'm not really into
   quilting, I like the fabrics they sell, such nice little patterns). I haven't decided on what to
   make with them yet...
