me studio

i know there are better ways to waste your time, but i was quite curious as to what i would look like if i were related to the man himself, come on you know you want to >> try it << too…

looking around a bookstore yesterday i came across some newspaper format graphic novels, turns out they are original copies of series made by an alternative publisher in amsterdam back in 1973 at the height of the hippie era… they were put together by some (now) very famous artists (like robert crumb)

one of the nice things is that they actually made all of the adverts in the papers too, if they found a client who wanted to advertise, they drew it each in their own style… they’re full of great hand-drawn psychedlic type and some ultra left-wing opinions… (look at that VW logo)

ok, ok, so trying to photograph large sheets of paper when it’s windy may not have been my best idea today, but i wanted to post the 3 posters that arrived back from the printers, so i did…

every year on the small dutch island ‘texel’ there is a poetry competition, the best two poems are carved into truck tyres (by hand) and the poems are then written in letterpress all over the beach during the summer… very nice

thanks to my friend ‘pam asselbergs’ for the pictures

my client and friend sandra brought me back a newspaper from a show by the artist ‘dan perjovschi’ at the moma in new york the link contains some films from you tube showing him at work
