For this years poster of the BUT FilmFestival I tried something different. I made cardboard suits and a cinema setting and asked photographer Roel van de Laar to shoot the picture. First I tried to use cardboard typography aswel but that didn’t work out the way I was hoping… So we had to do another shoot. I am happy with the result and would like to thank Roel for helping me out. Also a big thanks to Rick and Rutger for modeling twice with this insane temprature

This is the poster I did for the Graphic Design Festival Poster project. 50 international designers were asked to design a A0 sized poster that will be displayed in the streets of Breda during the festival (8 - 30 may 2010). My poster is about learning the rules of the road because I am trying to get my drivers licence this summer

Poster and flyer design for KOM festival in Oosterhout (NL).

I am thinking of making a little webshop on the site because I have other posters for sale as well. And, thanks to my friend Roel I finally have some good photos of my work. (Check out the photos of BUT filmfestival and my small prints I made at Extrapool, they are way better than before!)

Always in the best mood when I can print my new designs on big machines! I will show you the result soon!

And best wishes for 2010 to everybody! This small poster (30 x 40 cm) was printed in red & green at Extrapool. I also made some smaller ones that I can use as this year’s christmascard.

Thursday december 10th I am asked to give a small presentation about my work during the Pecha Kucha Event. Pecha Kucha is japanese for No small talk, so I have to cut to the core. During the event 15 creatives like designers, illustrators, and photographers all present 20 slides for twenty seconds each. No more boring lectures, painful seminars or tiring presentations. Pecha Kucha Night offers the audience the experience of a dazzling range of speakers and images in one evening. So if you would like to see me screw up in front of 150 people, you can visit the event, that is part of the Breda Graphic Design Festival, for free this thursday 8pm at Centrum voor Beeldcultuur, Reigerstraat 16 in Breda.

When I left college I had some contacts but since I wanted to work fulltime as an illustrator I had to do some selfpromotion. So I designed a promotional flyer. On the frontside a big illustration, on the back a brief explanation about me as an freelance illustrator / designer. I printed the flyer myself on colored a3 paper on an old heidelberg press, folded it up as a small flyer and sent it out to various people and companies I would like to work with. Besides I really enjoyed designing the project, it worked out really well.
