many thanks to the group of students from falmouth art school in the UK (who visited me recently) for sending me a surprise ‘inspiration’ parcel this week… glad you enjoyed the visit
but did i really say all of that stuff?…
me news
50 years on paper
in preparation for the ’50 years of ballet posters’ event we are taking part in at the dutch poster museum starting late january, i am currently making a poster for the exhibition
the idea was fairly simple: an abstract tutu/dancing figure made out of folded ballet posters, actually getting it work is taking a little bit more time however… more news soon
dae days
i’m off to sunny ‘eindhoven’ early tomorrow for a 24hr round trip, i’ve been invited to act as external moderator for the ‘communication’ bachelor course graduates at the design academy
should be interesting, back sometime wednesday…
push it
great campaign for dutch retailer ‘hema’ for their new push-up bra collection, a subtle way to drive the message home ‘these will work for anyone’… the model is actually a man, created by my mate john de vries
not only good work but newsworthy it seems as the campaign has been publicised all over the world in the past few days… (on american TV and many blogs etc…)
photography by miss ‘wendelien daan’
150 m2
we are currently busy getting the exhibition for january 2012 at the ‘poster museum’ organised, my work together with all of the photographers of course (like ‘ruud baan’ hiding in the middle of his own work here above) merely covers the past ten years of the ‘dutch national ballet’, the remaining fourty years still needs to sorted out and we are going to be opening up their own extensive archive in the coming weeks to see what we come across; really looking forward to that… if anybody knows of posters made by other designers from the period 1961 to 2002 i would love to hear from you… the only series i am familiar with is a graphic set by ‘gielijn escher’ from the late 70’s
