out of office day

i will be away from my desk all day today, defying the heatwave and an estimated 600+ entries, as a jury member for the dutch theater poster awards 2010, you can reach me by phone if necessary and it’s business as usual on tuesday…

i really like this ‘ongoing photo project’ from swedish agency
rbg6, see the website for more of their work (also plenty of little stop-motion projects)

new crop

i visited a preview of the hague art academy (KABK) final show last friday and these are some of the graduates whose work caught my attention: a very comprehensive and well researched project on adoption from miranda ensink, who is herself a korean adoption child (although the final book she made is not yet on her site), inbal kaplan who created a series of playful posters based on the familiar smells associated of her family members (also not yet on her site), karlijn van leeuwen, judith veenendaal who is passionate about music and illustration, this recent video, for example, which she made for young electronica artist ‘sotu the traveller’

and finally florian schick who concentrated on font design and is currently working on a new upcoming font release ‘calligrafx’
