Anouk

Please look at this performance of Anouk, and explain to me, why this lady isn’t famous in the rest of the world.

The new Janis Joplin. By far.

Work in progress

The exhibition in Harlingen is still running. But I am working hard to finish some new paintings for the upcoming exhibiton here in Apeldoorn.

And frame some really large paintings.

So no “Kings-day” for me (Kings-day is a national celebration day here in The Netherlands). But I don’t mind, I have my own kingdom here (Ha, eat that, Willem Alexander!).

Strandbeasts Theo Jansen

Watch this incredible movie of Theo Jansen. A Dutch artist (or scientist?) who makes wonderful creations.

Yes, I did it!

A group- exhibition in the Hague, in “Het Haags Gemeentemuseum”.

The jury choose one of my drawings. This is really an important step!

OMG. Tomorrow I am going to Groningen. In Groningen there is a sort of contest going on.

If you make it through the balloting (I am afraid this is very bad English, although I think I do a better job than Louis van Gaal at Manchester United in the UK) you are allowed to join a group-exhibition in “Het Gemeentemuseum of The Hague”. This museum is highly regarded, here in the Netherlands.

Just today I saw this movie. The “line-up” of last year. Very, very, long rows of people. A lot of so called artists, trying to get a piece of the cake.

I will join this contest with these four works. Wish me luck (I am on my own tomorrow, so how on earth will I manage to show my four works of art to the jury?). I can’t bail out. I’ve paid 120 euro’s for this. What have I done, what have I done?

Evolution 1

I nice thing about having a blog, is that it gives you the change, to look back at all the art you’ve made in the past.

I found this image on my computer. A painting I made a few years ago.
