delft white

reproduction classical ‘delfts blauw’ tiles made with a biro and… used coke wraps, made by local artist marc

i haven’t seen them in person yet, but the resulting effect looks quite strange and aesthetically pleasing somehow… the reference to hollands’ colonial past and trading heritage is a happy bonus i guess..

visual storytelling

during the latest edition of the graphic design festival i have been asked to do a lecture (on thursday the 20th of sept.) about my design practice and this year’s theme: visual storytelling

amongst those also doing lectures alongside me are: ‘trapped in suburbia’, ‘sean freeman’ (UK), ‘peter orntoft’ (DK), ‘gorilla’, ‘autobahn’, ‘father futherback’ and ‘snask’ (SE)… all lectures will be given in english, now i just have to think of something / anything at all interesting to say… oops, coud be difficult

rietveld 2012

i managed to visit the rietveld academy 2012 grad show late last week and as usual it wasn’t disappointing…. always a good crop and this year seemed somehow to be better than previous years in my opinion, lots of solid research behind projects and surprisingly in graphic design a lot more paper/book projects than usual even…

i spent some time talking to one of the photography students (above & below) in particular: ukranian ‘ola lanko’ who had some great projects… i’ll post more them and her later this week…
