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

since 1873

fabulous ad by two old colleagues of mine for that dutch beer brand (ivar van den hove & bert kerkhof @ tbwa), the text reads ‘heineken, social networking since 1873’, see a larger version also here, very nice indeed…

sweaty palms

i have been asked to do a short lecture/presentation at the HKU art school in utrecht next monday, the theme is ‘self confidence’ and i’m already nervous… i usually spend my time safely hidden behind a large monitor when talking to the rest of the world… which gives me an idea…

the other talks are from talented designer ‘herman van bostelen’ and young start up ‘hoax’ (whom i taught at the HKU last year) looking forward to hearing them both
