HotelMariaKapel, a exhibition place in Hoorn. asked me to design a couple of things for their latest show called "I am comedy". I made a poster and a invitation and a booklet invite that didn't made the selection. More comming up soon!

i extended my poster series about my favourite songs and albums with this tribute to the 1963 Dylan album called "The times they are a-changin'". I thought it would be a nice idea if the font Times New roman was evolving into a new font or shape..

I made a new poster last sunday.
Lenneke came up with the idea to make a poster that was inspired by a Blur song....

the last two weeks I visited a couple of flea markets in Breda, Antwerp and Eindhoven and found a whole bunch of vinyl records that I always wanted to find. Neil Young, the Stones, The beatles, The Sex pistols (!) and some bowie records. If I keep this up I won't have any reason to go look for more!

Together with Lenneke Heeren I organised a poster exhibition. The opening was friday the 21st of december. It was a succes, 16 different designers participated and we had a collection of 20 posters (4 designers, including myself, made two different posters).
Here are some pictures from the exhibition, the after party and my posters

I am having a party

The Arcade fire, live in Amsterdam 13 nov 2007.
What a gig! great visuals, great music, what more can you ask for on a tuesday night...

I was biking across Breda yesterday and found this house. What can I say.... the man likes Elvis.

In collaboration with the most talented designer in the world, Lenneke Heeren.

There was nothing worth to watch on tv so we made this balloon.

I found this beautiful vinyl record on the market yesterday!

In collaboration with Lenneke Heeren en Eva van den Dungen.
