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..
a narrative in three colours
just in this week: the amazing new graphic novel from french artist blexbolex entitled ‘no man’s land’ which has been exquisitely produced in three pantone colours making use of transparency and overlapping tints, worth ordering and implausibly cheap for such a beautiful book
temporary museum

somehow she has managed to secure one of the most interesting empty office buildings in the city to make it happen: the tijdelijk museum situated in the old shell building across from central station opened it’s doors last week and is definitely worth a visit, especially if you are four years old…
negative space
although they appear to be laser-cut these intricate paper maps are all pure hand-cut by american architect/artist karen o’leary
