me news

cold calling

just in time for the weekend some good news for (and from) me:

in my experience calling a (potential) client out-of-the blue generally isn’t a good idea or something that tends to work, however that’s exactly what i did recently when i noticed that a certain local firm is about to turn 100 years old, a fact which i felt shouldn’t be passed by easily…

it turns out that they agree with me and we are going to work together on (hopefully) a large poster campaign and a book plus all kinds of other activities to mark the event in the coming year… have a nice weekend!

temporary darkroom

the studio is going to be full of cables and a bit warm during the coming week, i am busy making the final sequence for my ‘string type’ stop-motion film…

it suddenly occured to me that using an overhead projector could save me a bit of time making the typography ‘pin bed’, it has already saved me about five hours of painstaking work… more news soon

found daily

last week ‘rikkert pauw’ contacted me about his foundation project, sounds and looks fun… i particularly like the ‘street TV’

…collecting waste material and old furniture from the neighborhood, moving it to a waste container, reusing it to turn it into a small house (with the container as the foundation), to become a temporary meeting place for neighbors and passers-by. During the project, graphic designer Jet van Zwieten will give shape to a public journal that shows the progress and tells the story of the found material and its contributors. This site-specific and investigative approach to design and public space leaves room for unexpected local input and cooperation…
