Blognomics drawings

This are a combination of drawing, collage and mixing. I like it. The black and white works very well.

An other set of the Blognomics drawings. With a different theme, and a little more figurative.

At Blognomics, the conference organised by Guido van Nispen en Krijn Schuurman, the drawings were printed out 1x3 meter high as decoration for the walls. As Blognomics is inspiring so was working on these drawings too.

Drawings for Nick

Helping and meeting people over the world is getting so much easier throught the net. And world wide sharing is absolute an advantage for the human race. And although we still work with copyright as barriers even that can be used in the right way as Nick shows.

The e-learning for kids foundation develops e-learning programs, and I was very pleased I could connect them with the people from www.net4kids.org who build schools in Africa and tobeworldwide who provide those schools with learning materials. Small steps that all help to bring knowledge around the world.

This one didn't fit at the end, but I still like the idea that the Internet will help to get a little more justice. Keeping faith in the old idea that knowledge helps justice.

......... The chapters are about ways to develop and inspire. But also about use the Internet to make knowledge available world wide and it positive effects.

My friend Nick van Dam asked my to make some small b/w illustration for his book about e-learning " 25 Best Practices in Learning and Talent development".
As the initiator and driving force behind the e-learning for kids foundation he decided that all the royalties from the book will be donated to e-learning for kids foundation a non-profit foundation that provides children (5-12) with high quality online learning for free. Great work Nick!

A drawing for a Stop Smoking advertising. It was a pitch, and we didn't won so it will never be used. What a pity.

The fifth string

A poster designed for a very interesting series of concerts by the Zephyr Quartet , using electronic devices to create a sound and vision theatrical experience during these concerts. It was commissioned by the UCC, the Utrechtse Componisten Collectief, a group of modern classical composers living in Utrecht. More info:

A manifest for intern communication

The government of Waalwijk decide to communicate a plan for a serious increase in building activities. So we designed a declaration.

The poster for the Henriëtte Bosmanprijs, an award for promising young composers of modern classical music.
Dutch clouds and a portrait of Henriëtte Bosman committeded by Insomnio who performed the music from the short list.

Picto design for province Overijsel

Three pictos symbolizing a old women alone, a grand mother with her daughter and child and a dynamic old couple. That seem to be the three mayor situations for older people. It was al designed as symbols for the three scenarios which were worked out detailed for a discussion with a forum of people.

Two designs for an event about building houses for the older generations in which the possibilities for extra care is included.

Photos from the flags made at the hippie festival were later used in publicity material. It was made for the music ensemble Insomnio, for there performance of Stravinsky's L'Histoire du Soldat. A special live performance with a beautiful animation film by R.O. Blechman. It won an Emmy Award. Go see it at 5 November at the Vredenburg in Utrecht

The hippies came with some very exciting vehicles, like this sailbike.

The day before the festival started, they were building the stages. The field was marked with flags to show were people could place there tent or small restaurants. In the background the cranes from the Afrika Haven ad a little industrial element to this gathering.

Sleeping together in these beautiful Mongolian tents was popular. I was surprise how much of these people owned such an exotic product.

Visiting the yearly festival "landjuweel", organized by the squatters village Ruigoord. 15000 hippies from all over Europe coming together for 5 days of music, performance and a lot of great mind expanders.
