a dog’s life

fascinating series of portraits by erwan fichou i’m a bit speechless about this to be honest, so i’ll let him explain in his own words:
…portraits of a few people wearing their own creations knitting with the hair from the dog they love… well quite, scary stuff… could it be more than a coincidence that many seem to have a strong preference for beige clothing? probably not

and thanks to ‘pepijn @ dawn’ for the bizarre link

75b xl

the rotterdam film festival is celebrating it’s jubilee with an ‘XL’ edition this year, the poster is from rotterdam’s finest 75b, a lot of their work has a really unpolished quality to it (much like ‘mevis and van deursen’) which is one of their strongest points, unpretentious and highly communicative work

do or dare

just a few images (i know not very exciting) from the talk i did on monday: designer ‘herman van bostelen’ did the logical thing and decided not to prepare his talk at all, not bring any work to show and just see how it went, it went well he’s an entertaining talker i think, young studio ‘hoax’ did a talk on ‘fanzine culture’ and i (stupidly) was hoping to rely on technique, the idea was to hide behind a large monitor and talk to the audience via the safety of my screen, in the end there wasn’t a screen so i had to skip my presentation and just show some work, oh well, that’s life…. still it’s always nice to meet the next generation and talk about our profession

2016

controversy never seems to be far away when it comes to olympic identities, but it seems that it has never been any different even with the old classics

this is a topic that i mention for several reasons, apart from a personal and professional interest, it is also at the core of our theme for the upcoming edition of ‘mind the gap’ which i posted about earlier last week… keep you posted
