the latest ‘dutch natinal ballet poster’ (shot by mister ‘ruud baan’) hanging around town this week
me news
new work
it’s new territory for me: making posters that are fly-posted all around town in messy locations that have to compete with all of the other stuff on one wall…
lemniscate
the infinity symbol and the figure 8 form the backdrop for a beautiful little black book, barely larger than an iphone, which has just been published this week and i was kindly given a copy at the book launch, last friday
the book is an overview of eight years work from the office of designer paulina matusiak whose mainstay is intricate illustrative posters for all kinds of cultural events and theater productions, the format which at first, seems at odds with the large format of the work depicted actually works very well and does her work justice, there is strong and coherent red thread to be found throughout her entire output
the book can be ordered directly via paulina for a suitably-sized price: 17.50 euros, well worth it…
just send paulina a mail for more info
dynamism
had a good chat with talented still-life photographer bart oomes last week, really looking forward to working on the project we are going to be doing in the coming months… dance without dancers, more news soon
ssssugar
i seem to have a connection with old sugar factories somehow, this is my second client who is based in one: some new work for nightclub ‘the sugar factory’ in amsterdam, the idea is a campaign for a new magazine called ‘sssst!’
except the magazine is non-existent, it is a series of club events (mainly house for twentysomethings) in the coming year, the tough part was making it look like a magazine but work like a poster… the first one in two variations (the green ones) will be hanging around town in the coming weeks, not really my ‘scene’ this but interesting to play around with…
