I received an invitation last night from Barbara and one a while ago from Inci, both good friends and both (ex)student Graphic Design at the Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam where I used to work. I can't...

I'm having a ball lately but should try to find my balance... I did the painting below last Sunday, it was extremely relaxing! The book is a true inspiration and I'm doing too many things at once but ...

I went to an amazing place last Sunday: the British Library, near St Pancras tube station. I wanted to see a temporary exhibition called 'The Printed Face of the European Avant Garde 1900-1937'. It wa...

Last year in June I had to drive to Schiphol Airport to collect my aunt who came back from a trip to Odessa [Ukraine]. She is part of a group of artists who paint Russian icons and the trip was organi...

I'm looking for words and can't seem to find them. I can't write, not because I'm blocked coz I ain't, I just can't find the right words. At times words seem so meaningless, empty almost. I feel like ...

I seem to be more interested in pictures these days... so not much writing and a lot of faffing in a nice way. But [and that's a 'capital but'] I need to get things done too unfortunately. Got a phone...

I received the wedding announcement a while ago but forgot to put it online. I have designed it, created the artwork and send it off to the Lowlands to have it printed there. I'm happy with the result...

Tara, from Graphic Design Blog came up with a really cool idea. An experiment to see if designers think alike; the purpose of the experiment was to sketch ideas for two fictitious logos and find out i...

I'm stuck between the past and the future. I'm in a surreal world, where sweetness becomes bitterness and things aren't what they seem. Subtle cruelty to the mind. All I can do is sit and watch the sh...

Things have been hectic last week when I started the Flash 8 Actionscripting course. It was quite an experience and I've met some really nice people. I thought I wouldn't be able to follow but I reali...

Things have been good for a few days now. I seem to be able to accomplish a lot more once I set my mind on it, which leaves me feeling good about myself. I try to set a goal each day and instead of no...

I'm sad today, a problem has reared its ugly head while I'm supposed to be happy. So I keep myself busy producing artwork for Carla and Tjalling their wedding announcement and trying to focus on this....

I had such a splendid evening, it reminded me in a way of hanging out with some of 'my' students at the Rietveld Academy, we would always end up in weird places, meeting people and not knowing what wo...

I've been invited by C. to another event organised by a client of the Times [where she works]. No Christies auction this time but a photography preview. So I will be ready for another evening of too ...

How to fit your life into 21[+] categories? Well manually, one by one... It took me about three days to assign each post [638 by now] to a category. There is no other way to do this with Movable Type,...

I've received a really cool letter from the Lowlands yesterday! Awesome! It came from my ex colleague [Gerrit Rietveld Academy] and friend Christiaan. I can't explain what it means to me because some ...

I'm so getting into using Illustrator again. I'm totally twisted and chaotic, I realise that. But I have been working with this app and I forgot what it was like because I was totally into Photoshop f...

The exhibition yesterday was slightly disappointing to be honest. I reckon I was expecting more pictures of the Northern Lights, the two pictures I posted earlier pretty much cover the whole series 'H...

Jeez, I have been faffing half the day because I screwed up some stupid script. Basically I was just too blind to see the mistake that I made and to be honest I still don't know how a little bit of 'g...

I've found the stuff online that I mentioned in my Barbie post earlier, those silly funky alien art things on top of the busstops. See, I wasn't that drunk after all, didn't imagine things at all, tsk...

Back into the land of the living. Well... almost. I had a bad cold and I finally feel a bit normal again. I have been in bed for about a week, feeling one moment freezing cold the next burning hot. Lu...

I've found these beautiful pictures on the internet and thought it was quite funny but also very realistic and sad in a way. I wonder who the artist is because these are really excellent!!!If you'...

The grand opening of the Red Bull contest on Saturday which wasn't so grand at all... Such disappointment. It turned out that the winner of the contest had already been chosen and notified but they 'f...

Opening exhibition at Arti, I was invited by my students so I had to go and stay for a while. Saw some familiar faces, some I loved to see again, others I tried to avoid. This whole art scene is like ...
