The upcoming days I’ll be busy packing my stuff as I am moving to another house …one that has more space. It’s nice going through my stuff, old photo albums and illustrations. Look forward to blogging and working from my new crib. And believe me it’s gonna be great (….pssstt, my own studio!)
“An essential part of my workflow”
For some time I have been thinking for a small update of my desk ….a nicely organized desk really improves my workflow. I noticed that my desk is a bit unorganized because I caught myself having lots of those ´hey where is that thing?´-moments lately. I’m always illustrating my ideas and also now for this desk-update I came up with this illustration to give you guys a visual of idea.
Still looking for some nice accessories to store my cables, small camera gear and my stationery. Any tips?
Visiting New York was really great. Just walking there was so inspiring and stimulating …and no it’s not the typical ‘oh NY is great’ talk. For me this city has so many interesting street moments and street style, not to mention the beautiful streetview. Being back in The Netherlands is so different. Everywhere I go there´s less noise, buildings, people and of course no yellow cabs.
To keep that inspiring feeling at home I decided to frame some New York photos 0n the wall behind my desk. And believe me it works …I even decided to add a whole New York wall! Now I don´t have to miss New York that much.
It’s not impossible to dress fashionable on normal summer days …but what about those days when the heat is extreme?
I decided to do this bit of impulsive act of hitting the street on a awfully hot day. And yes it was awful! As expected the heat kinda killed the fashion on the streets. In short: It seemed like only flip flops, shorts and dresses could stand the heat. So for me these hot days are a no-go, staying in or just chilling somewhere with dirnks and nice company is a better way of spending time.
Personally I prefer the coolness. Now with the heat I’m looking at my closet …those nice pieces I bought but I can not wear them without sweating my socks off. So I’m looking forward to cooler days so I can fit those new pieces and spot some nice street style again!
I’ve seen a lot of (faux) fur coats on the streets, especially by women. And believe I’ve seen women combining them with a lot of different styles, from chic to casual urban. I think that’s the nice think about a (faux) fur ….you can were it in so many ways. As you have seen on the blog I did capture a lot of (faux) fur coats on the streets and yet I never saw myself as a fur liking guy.
What do you think about (faux) fur coats? Is it most suitable for chic, edgy or urban?
“Pressure sensitive …just what I need”
I often do illustration on the go with my iPad and with this awesome pen it would be even greater to do so …still doubting between this one or a larger pen tablet?
It took them a while but there it is at last …. Starbucks Damrak Amsterdam. It’s perfectly located when looking at it from a commercial point of view. Though I prefer it to be near Spui and the Nine Streets. To be honest my expectations where high when Continue reading “PERSONAL: New Starbucks on Amsterdam Damrak”
There are women who always (almost) appear as the where posing for a photo shoot ….the way the sit, the way the stand or interact with other people. I’ve seen some and they are perfect Continue reading “Illustration: Headphones on the stairs”
