the misses drew her inspiration from nearby for this particular diorama piece, not sure if i should be flattered or whether i am the subject of a very subtle parody…
me news
is it me?
i just came across this via twitter, genius…
the last of the mohicans
i came across this amazing portrait of ‘that man’ on the cover of time magazine this week… although the small online version on the photographers’ own website doesn’t do it justice at all
time, space and freedom
…in 2009 two schools, Werkplaats Typografie (ArtEZ), Arnhem, the Netherlands and ISIA Urbino, Italy, joined together to set up a Summer School in the Renaissance town of Urbino, Italy… the 2011 Summer School requires current students or practicing designers that are inspiring, non-conventional, with authentic and critical minds and who are eager to take risks… the Summer School is not a place where you will be told what to do, it is two weeks where you will have the time, space and freedom to reflect on your practice. In addition, the Summer School is also a potentially enriching environment to share experiences and ideas with the tutors and the other participants…
i could think of worse places to spend two weeks during the summer than in the company of inspiring people like ‘karel martens’ & ‘armand mevis’, why not give it a go?
dioramas
what started out as a hobby several weeks back has now ended up with my wife having an exhibition in an art gallery here in amsterdam… femke has devised a series of custom brooches in a ‘diorama’ miniature form… with all kinds of scenes form the everyday to the bizarre, each piece is custom-made and unique, they can be ordered via her new femkus dioramas blog
if you would like to see them in person or buy one, the exhibition is open from tomorrow afternoon at the BMB gallery (kerkstraat 127-129) in amsterdam… running till late april, she makes me proud :)
