musical chairs

it’s been quite hectic in the past few weeks, lots of projects, jury duty and trips out of town, plus moving to a new studio last week and finally saying goodbye to pollie who finished her internship, it certainly won’t be the last we see of her, thanks for the laughs we had pollie it was fun, see you soon…

the new address is well… exactly the same as the old one except on the other side of the same corridor… and for those who find it confusing the address shown in the left hand column here above that is the other studio (and my home) but for visitors this is the info you need:

me studio
vijzelstraat 72
4th floor room 4.13
1017 HL amsterdam

a paper stage

wednesday was spent judging some 400+ posters for the annual ‘dutch theater poster awards’, it’s always fascinating (and quite unique) to see a years worth of poster design from one country all in one go in one space…

this year the graphic designers were quite heavily represented amongst the jury members (including my friends ‘lernert & sander’) which led to some difficult discussions during the day, on the whole i feel very happy about the final selection and the winner, more news as soon as the finalists are announced next month…

boy scouts, opera divas and african dance

last friday we had a shoot for the ‘amsterdam music theater’ jubilee campaign with photographer ‘jaap van den beukel’ in and around the building itself, the weather was merciful when we needed it to be and the images involved a young boy scout, a gospel singer, an opera diva, an orchestra conductor, various ballet dancers and irish/african/balkan dancers too, amazingly we finished even earler than planned, more news soon…

take a bow

the current dutch government is certainly not one of a calibre that i would expect to be sympathetic to the arguments which the arts sector is giving in reaction to the draconian measures being put into to place to cut back funding, but at the same time doing nothing isn’t an option… the dance sector takes a silent bow, a large group marched from rotterdam to the hague last night, there are many petitions against arts cuts circulating and the mediamatic infographic is now also a poster campaign, enjoy the creativity while it lasts… welcome to the dark ages

25 years

we are on location all day today, making some images for the (HMA) amsterdam music theater ‘jubilee’ campaign, therefore mail replies may be a little slow; if you are getting in touch about say, a nice new job you could always try the phone…
