Whitewalk – Drawing from a Fashion Event

September 29, 2010

I started this at a fashion event in Amsterdam I was invited to. But the time was really really short, with the models only being there for a couple of seconds.

Not so smart people. Specimen: Sam Harris

September 27, 2010

There are some really smart people I marvel at – I’ll list some in an upcoming post. But I’m also always amazed at how many people are considered smart, but say things that are obviously untrue.

Old Curch Number 2

July 31, 2010

Another painting from the Oudekerk in Amsterdam. I finally have time to do these things – and actually without rushing it too much. With this pillar I’m still trying to get a feel for it, before starting more complex parts of the building. This coming Monday a German TV team will film me there for … Continue reading Old Curch Number 2 →

Finally I can show all the results of the “Art for Arts Sake” event at Distelweg that I talked about earlier. Nadia organized a collaboration weekend. Nadia, David, Ronald and me were painting together on lots of pieces. It was an interesting surprise to see how much people enjoyed watching the process, even staying there … Continue reading “Art for Arts Sake” Collab Paintings →
