dutch posters #2


following on from yesterdays’ poster post: hereby another selection of the archive dutch posters i came across in the ‘tin’ archives last week… firstly at the top a fairly recent design from ‘herman van bostelen’ whose work i admire very much, shown here below an anarchic collage poster from ‘frits hartingsveldt’


here above a rather odd poster from 1976 featuring swastikas and bare asses and a ‘punk attitude’ before it’s time , for author ‘jan cremer’ promoting a record release

IdN magazine have recently released a special on information graphics, will we ever tire of bar charts with funky colours and wave patterns or cool icons explaining how everything works? or doesn’t work, probably not…

those on a limited budget can have a decent peek right here

not an issue

my friend ‘martin de waal’ asked me to take part in a performance exhibition entitled ‘the non issue – activism in fabric’ and to create something on a large piece of textile reacting to the theme of the show ‘non-issue’, here is a preview of the fabric piece i made and a spread for the catalogue, shown below

the show was due to open this evening but has been delayed till later this year…
