FLASH

As you might know I’m a real tattoo enthiousiast. Soon I’ll post some of my tattoos done by Joris from the “House of Tattoos”. For now here’s one of my first attempt to draw some flash. Really like the old school tattoos, heavy lines, lots of symbolism…Hope it shows! Soon more of my drawings!

Arte Perire Sua

Just finished my new painting called “Arte Perire Sua” means something like going down from your own creation. First painting of my new serie New Religion. Painted with acryl on wood (and added some gold leaf), something I don’t really like doing. So next time some good o’ canvas! Dimensions are: 37cm x 56,5cm.

“PRINT LESS” serie

Here’s the last painting of the “Print Less” serie on canvas (100 x 40cm) called: “Alma Mater”.

I wanted to show with this painting that there are always two sides of the coin…one problem solved, another created…. (Thanks Miranda for the picture!)

BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENT

Hi there! It’s been a while since my last post but I’m very busy painting…soon the results on this blog!

For now I made an illustration for birth announcement (cancer for zodiac)  Not my favorite thing to do, but hey, it’s for a dear friend of mine! So congrats Genevieve! But don’t you ever, never, contact me for a birth announcement! (unless you pay me extremely well ^-^ )…. The type I used for the illustration is called the EAMS. The more I use it the more I love it…it’s freak’n awesome! Go and get it at House Industries here .

WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE

Check out my new design for a two-colour screenprint. Made this design because I’m lately very much into riding my (new) bike through the city I live, Amsterdam. And as you might know..”It’s a jungle out there!” So get rid of your car and ride your bike!

PRINT LESS…

A couple of years ago I received an email wich was the inspiration for these two paintings. I wasn’t inspired by the content of the email itself, but by a little line in the email signature “Save trees. Print only when necessary”. It looked something like this:

I admit, I was printing a lot of emails just to remember the messages, wasn’t even paying attention on the small amount of text I was printing. When I received the mail with the “green” signature I realized I spoiled a lot of paper for no particular reason. And unfortunley I was not the only one. “Americans use enough sheets every year to build a 10-foot-high wall that would stretch from NewYork to Tokyo and beyond. That’s a lot of paper and trees”. (from: www.greenprinteronline.com).

So check out my works below based on two different “green” email signatures.

PRINT LESS SAVE TREES | 100 x 40cm | acryl on canvas

THINK BEFORE YOU PRINT | 100 x 40cm | acryl on canvas

And cause I’m also a graphic designer I made a few “green” email signatures myself!

Right mouse click on the images and use them!!
