Als je voor vet bent…

Wholy Moly! Suus and me entered the Blue Band ‘gezonde vetten’ competition and are nominated to compete with two other entries to win the Folder Challenge Award, an anual advertising award. Pretty exciting, especially since this is the first time we even participated on such a project. Our graphic approach must have worked somehow pretty [...]

music of the future and music of the past

Last Saturday my friend Frietje took me to see a pretty cool band called Field Music in the clubhouse. They reminded me of a section in my record cabinet called ‘pop that don’t suck’ as Billy Joel, 10CC, Steely Dan, Paul McCartney and Supertramp were all easily recognizable as being heavy influences to their songwriting. [...]

Wist u dat…

Vroeger vond ik ‘wist je dat’-jes in schoolkranten, clubbladen en waar die dingen nog meer in stonden altijd he-le-maal te gek. Ik weet niet waarom, maar wist-je-dat items konden mij zeer bekoren. Ik dacht ook altijd hardop ‘nee! nietwaar?!’ of ‘ja man, al lang!’. Misschien had het iets met het triviale van algemene kennis te [...]

the expanding universe of quotes

Tomorrow at the annual Rotterdam museum night, I’ll be showing a new piece at the Sara Tim Trust artistspace located at the Mauritsstraat #167. In a response to this year’s museum night theme ‘XS/XL’ Sara Tim Trust themed their night ‘Revenge of the 50 ft Artists’. They invited me to make something on their huge [...]

I never dreamed this would happen…

Who could have foreseen this… it’s beautiful and amazing (it’s even bigger than our website can handle!) and like every other thing Jimi did. Sorry for not posting for so long. It’s really really busy. I”ll be back soon with lots more on (amongst other things) my new piece showing at the Rotterdam Museum Night, [...]

second coming

The New Earth Group did it again! Coming 20th of February, they’ll be releasing their (often feared) second album called ‘Eurafricarabia’ (thru Excelsior Recordings instead of Willy Anderson this time) in Rotown Rotterdam. A second release party is to be at the Paradiso Upstairs, march 13. As is custom with T.N.E.G. ‘Eurafricarabia’ will be available [...]

‘The measure of a man is what he does with power.’ – Plato

All great works of art, whether it’s a painting, an installation, videos or films, a sculpture or a book, tv shows, poetry, dance or a theatre piece, share one thing: they are either solely, or mainly or at least in the first place about power. I especially know quite something about films and most of [...]

lijers zijn ’t!

Ik kan het toch niet onbesproken laten eigenlijk. Zonder met deze site een soort Kassa’ige richting in te slaan, wil ik graag even oproepen tot een massaal misnoegen over het nieuwe ov-chipkaart beleid. Of nou ja ‘beleid’, zeg maar de door de overheid gesteunde patstelling waarin het Nederlandse openbaar vervoer ons, makke betaalschaapjes die weer [...]
