Dutch Design award for Opera

Good news today from Opera. They have been nominated for the Emma children's hospital in the category 'spacial' best interior. It's the interior of the children's hospital were the drawings for the walls were made by Christina Guitan and myself ( see older entry) On the 22dn of Oktober, an international jury will select one winner in each category. Very exciting news indeed. Let's hope Opera walks away with the grand price.

Back from Zurich

I'm back from the Garagesale exhibition in Zurich. I had a wonderfull time and enjoyed every aspect of it. Thanks to Cassaramona and Donovan Gregory for being such good curators.The people were kind and friendly and very eager to learn about our work. Here are two pics of the exhibitionspace made by Erik Kriek. Maybe next time in Tokio? Who knows. Had great fun with my traveling buddies Leendert Masselink, Ingrid Bockting and Femke Hiemstra.

Blub

Before I worked on the cookbook for a few weeks I worked on a pitch for a musical production of the Little Mermaid by Disney and "van de Ende stage entertainment". I had to make a more mature appealing mermaid an keep a lot of space open for Type and information. Unfortunatly they will use photography. It was a nice experience though to make this kind of a commercial illustration. Maybe next time more luck.

Gaumen Pogo

One of the great jobs I did in the last couple of weeks was providing a cookbook with illustration's. The book is called Gaumenpogo and the chef's name is Meta Hiltebrand. She's from Switzerland and has her own televisionshow and restaurant. It was a great job because the book has only illustration's and I had the privilege to make them all. It was great fun to do and I'm very pleased with the results. The book is not printed yet but here are some pages from the book as a teaser. More examples and info soon. I can't wait till it's printed.

Garagesale

In a few day's i will be in Zurich for the garagesale expo. There will be a lot of other illustrator's and although I will not have a lot of work to show due to the schedule I had for the last few months, it's going to be fun anyway. Drop by if you are on your way to deposit on your Swiss bankaccount and spend some at the exhibition.

AVARITIA

It has been a while since I posted new entries (this is probably the most used opening sentence in blogland) But I had a lot of work to do and I will post the results within the next couple of day's. First up in the " manager's seven sins series Avaritia. Greed ( see previous post).
