Uitmarkt

2009-07-29T13:57:00.000-07:00

Here's the series of flyers for this year's Uitmarkt (the opening of the 'cultural season'), now with the backs, too. I can't help thinking about cornflakes...

Another year, another beer

2009-07-06T06:56:00.000-07:00

Holy Underwear, another year went by without posting anything at all. I'm happy nobody ever visits this blog. At the moment I'm working on another series of flyers for NOWHERE I don't think I ever showed any of my type work here, so here's a specimen.

Cover for special about the event 'Uitmarkt' (start of the new cultural season) in Parool newspaper.

Money in the trashcan

Double page illustration about food being thrown away. I'll post more infographics soon.

maybe.

Characters

2007-07-19T05:58:00.001-07:00

Character design for a game called Port Jumping Amsterdam. Made this in 2 days for Random.nu (the nice Flash wizards a share a studio with) but I'm not sure their client liked it. Fuck it. I do.

For a Kustomize-A-Klogggg expo. Silly idea, but nice results. Guy named Erosie shredded his wooden shoes. Clogs used to be the ultimate safety boots.

Here you have it. Racism. On the left MJ trying to change the color of his hair, on the right that ugly green guy's finally getting it.

These are the final bear cakes.

Cookies

2007-05-06T05:13:00.000-07:00

This was a lot of fun. (A childhood dream: working in a cookie factory!) The had little cakes which had to be wrapped in a printed wrapper, because the cakes bleeded chocolate filling and that wasn't a tasty sight. The cakes had the shape of a bear, and I dressed them up as sporrtsmen. To hide the chocolate bleeding, I also drew a back view, printed on the back of the wrapper.
I also thought up the name. My friend, drummer (and in this case employer - check www.gummo.nl) just had a son named Bruno, and I think it's a splenid name for a bear as well for a healthy chocolate cake. I like the B with the face of a bear. The cookie factory liked it, too. Splendid! Too bad they liked 'Nounours' better as a name...

My good good good pal Michel (www.)Cassarramona(.ch) gave me a fun job to make a poster & flyer for a small festival in Switzerland. Impossible to even slightly match his brilliancy, but I have no shame & I like doing it... I sent this jpeg to the printers to explain some things about the color separation.

For a short period I did some graphic design work for a jeans brand called Scotch & Soda. This is about the last thing I did for them. A sketch for a series of instore posters. Guess they didn't like it.
And I guess I don't understand fashion either.

Forgot 2

2007-05-06T04:51:00.000-07:00

Here's a second sketch. Some facts are slowly coming back to me. The dutch broadcasting dudes from VPRO asked me to participate in a pitch for a mascot. I thought two mascots might be funnier, because you can let them interact. The rest I forgot, I don't think a lot happened. Pitches stink. Just lazy people fishing ffor free ideas.

Forgot

2007-05-06T04:47:00.000-07:00

Jeez... I was cleaning up my computer & dicovered twoo things: these sketches for a mascot for something, and Korsakov. Forgot all about that!

#7 in a series of oldschool photocopied flyers for a befriended dj. Paradiso liked this flyer and had it printed as a poster. I just realize I had to cut off T's ear to make it all fit better. Haha! Sweet...

This is a farewell present for a guy named Wim, who's always saying you should look at things from two sides.

Just finished this ambigram. It's good to be the Wim!

This illustrates the daily struggle in the UWV (unemployment registration etc.) office.
Lot of fun to make. Drew it with ballpoint, a.f.a.p. (as fast as possible).

La Guernica

2006-09-01T05:19:00.000-07:00

I discovered the Picasso (lacking) in me when I made this illustration for a columnist complaining about Madrid. Picasso rules.

Monster

2006-08-31T08:25:00.000-07:00

I made this poster for a Mexican bar. Never heard from them again. Typical. Then another spanish speaking bastard called MENDOR (pronounce with extremely rolling R and thundering voice) suggested I would make it into a real t-shirt. & so I did. All's well that ends well. Nice... to order send me an email.

Yet another birth announcement... Now for the beautiful daughter of Georgie and Arie (bassplayer of psychobilly group Asmodeus & friend since we were 10). This is the interior of the card. The outside is the front of their new home, with a small door which you can open.

Hulleu!
I spend the weekend at the Haarlem Comic Festival & I don't want to talk about it. So here a Flash From The Past. When I was still working with my pal Dan Adams (aka Adonis) from London, we made this thing for the advertisement agency KesselsKramer. The muffin was actually baked by Dan just for this purpose. I think I have other designs with food made by him. Let me look...

Flying V

2006-05-30T16:40:00.000-07:00

My home made Flying V Double Bass. Works Great. Pickup made in Canada, especially to fit the fingerboard. 5 strings! Super heavy low B makes your guts pop out.

Flyer (01)

2006-05-19T07:51:00.000-07:00

I love making flyers. You need a small powerfull idea & you need it fast. Lots of people collecct them, though they're only around forr a week or two. I like this one a made two years ago, for the Amsterdam Dance Event.

Bigsby

2006-05-19T07:43:00.000-07:00

Longlongloooong time ago Hoving & I (& Ruud & Sjoerd) had a rockabilly band named the Kittyhawk Bomber Billies. And we had a roadie who we named Bigsby. Bigsby started a webshop (www.debadkuipenkoning.nl) & I did the design. Great van, Swiss fire patrol Dodge.

Ayaan Hirschi Ali

2006-05-19T06:23:00.000-07:00

I made these illustrations as a header for Vrij Nederland Magazine. Politicians Femke Halsema & Ayaan Hirschi Ali wrote letters to eachother. Illustration was turned down because Ayaan Hirschi Ali looked too black. Femke Halsema is pink in real life.

Birth announcement (back/front/interior). Proud parents decided to make babies, not war.

Mexico

2006-05-18T15:47:00.000-07:00

I made one glyph for a pi font for the Mexican typographic club. Everybody then had to make a poster, using that pi font + another Mexican font. I used plenty of text, writing about the Zangeres zonder naam. Translation into Spanish done by Luis, a very talented, charming handsome sexy hot aaaah designer. Visit him at www.goodincorporated.com. Now!

This fully animated flash site is still waiting to be finished.

kijkwijzer

2006-05-18T14:36:00.000-07:00

The animation for Kijkwijzer is ready. Half a year ago... It's made using drawings made in Adobe Illustrator, photos of my little nephew & the use of the battleship Gallactica animation computer at Comic House. Who is my agent btw. He's very good with people and even better with money.

2006-05-17T11:09:00.000-07:00

Haha! This I completely forgot. It's a sketch for a character which would be great to make into a doll with a 'floating' eye (you know the wobbly thing? no? aaah whatever...). Also fun to animate, especially his enormous eyelid whenever he blinks! His name would be Trecball or something (send me the way to spell it in a cool manner & win the first doll!).

Yeah. Some people know how to blog! I don't. I don't even know how to remember. So today I'm catching up (as you can see if you check the dates). This is something I've been working on for a long time. I'll try & put the finished things on my site asap.
They're ambigram. When you spin 'm 180º they'll show another name & another face.

Hey! This is a screenshot of a piece of animation I'm working on. A child is swithing channels on tv 'cause this here is too boring for him. Anybody got any ideas how to make a shot look like it's been filmed up close from a television screen? Anybody reading this at all?

An Illustration (spread) for an internet magazine. Lot of fun to make. Lot of work, too. My girlfriend mentioned the other day that pain is someting you forget. Emotions & states of mind you'll remember. And memories, too.

Immerzeel

2005-09-04T11:43:00.000-07:00

Since this guy introduced me to blogging, I will introduce him to the reader: Pascal Immerzeel.
He does most of the programming and actionscripting for the sites I make. Like this one for a youth centre.
You'll find his own neglected site between the other links on the side.

and already sick of it.
I play upright bass in Superbird, with Hoving(.com) on guitar & vocal and Hajo Red Bull Gummo on drums. More news in the future. We play sunday october 2nd in the CANTINA in Amsterdam, 16.00 o'clock, adm. free.

Well, this is the first post. A sketch for a page on a website for dutch schools. When you click on the doors they open and another piece of navigation appears...
