junior co.

hnb_juniorco_print

here it is my very last poster for the dutch national ballet, made together with ‘erwin olaf’ and some very talented young dancers… very kindly held up by my old partner ‘erik’ (the original ‘e’ in me studio) who popped by this week

i am really looking forward to seeing what design agency ‘lesley moore’ have come up with, when their new identity for the ‘national opera & ballet’ (as they are now called… or will be) is launched early in 2014, i am confident thay they will do a great job… so for now bye-bye ballet, it’s time for new ventures for me
