you may (or may not) have noticed the minor redesign on the ‘me’ blog this week, to the left here we have added the complete address listing for both studio locations (sorry to all of those people who have patiently waited for ages outside the wrong office over the years…) and a few snazzy social media icons and links to some extra portfolio stuff
…an animal: an amusing project with a considerable ‘tongue-in-cheek’ factor, shame he sounds so genuinely angry though… or am i missing some irony here?

i’m not a big follower of fashion magazines, as the recent introduction of the dutch version of ‘vogue’ confirmed, to my eyes they all look-alike and seem to be very much devoted to pleasing the whims of their advertisers…
perhaps that is the name of the game? but one exception to the rule is ‘glamcult’ not only does they opt for a different format (full-colour newspaper, recently downsized to neater proportions) but glamcult has it’s own distinctive look and is furthermore free… it seems you can survive on advertising revenue alone without compromising your own voice…
they shoot many of their own series like these two recent ones from talented local photographers (and actually a couple, who regularly work together) barrie hullegie (two shown above) and sabrina bongiovanni (lower two images shown below)
currently in development: a new identity project & motion graphics based on some stuff i made late last year, for an art/interview film project and exhibition on the workings of the mind (called ‘binnenkamer’) more news soon…
a new book from quality asian publisher ‘victionary’ (featuring several of our projects) has just been published, although we haven’t received or seen a copy of typoholic yet…
