an impression of the awards evening last thursday, i must have had my flies open or something… judging by the number women who appear to find me amusing

and the winner is…
oops, me!… well a great deal of the credit goes to ‘erwin olaf’ naturally, with whom i worked closely on this project
but, last night we won the theaterafficheprijs (dutch theater poster award) for 2012-2013, as i said last week i was genuinely convinced that 75B would win (and should have, i think) but still very proud and happy for the honour
after several nominations in the past few years it’s great to win, especially for a client who i am saying goodbye to after so many years together… the award is of course also very much for that client too…
superjews
israeli artist ‘nirit peled’ made the documentary film ‘superjews’ examining the link between amsterdam football club ‘ajax’, the david star and the jewish identity, a film about symbolism, football, identity and belonging
she asked me to make the poster and after a week spent trying various ideas with photos etc. we finally came back to my initial, instinctive sketch idea, very happy with this one
the film is airing at the IDFA film festival which started yesterday in amsterdam; the posters arrived back from the printers just on time… this is the closest you will ever get to seeing me in a football shirt
here is a trailer for the film with english subtitles
