Even though summer might feel very far away right now, it will come sooner than you think. And I'm happy to again teach a summer course in big-format screen print at the design school (HDK). I'll be back with more information about the course when it's made public (don't tell anyone I told you ...). |

just checking that my studio is still there ...
![]() |
| Today I biked to the studio to water my plants and check that my studio is still there. And of course it was! I also checked my ongoing project that I just left in the middle when I travelled to Colombia - and it actually looked as promising as I remembered. Sometimes you return to see it wasn't as good as you thought - but not this time! But art will have to wait for now - I'm still spending my days at home planning the year, but above all preparing my Art as Business Course for Camp Pikaland. I'm aiming to make this course into something that can help artists or illustrators getting an overall structure to everything that has to be done, to help them prioritize, evaluate and plan. And really see it through and reach their goals... I don't want to make a course that is just a list of everything you could and should do. |
The class starts the 7th of February, but you can also sign up later as it is a self-study class.

more grey: sketchbook material
Before going to Colombia I managed to finish my sketchbook for the sketchbook project. This was a fun little creative exercise for me, a playful intimate game on the theme "Grey side of Life". (and a healthy contrast for me who is nowadays just aiming for monumental).![]() |

- to just use (mostly) grey left overs and materials from my studio (ink and colour tests, small parts of discarded big drawings) ...
- use whatever I could distinguish on the paper, what I could see with my fantasy (hey, that looks like an elephant), cut it out and just add as little as possible. And no censoring - what showed up showed up.
(I'll share some more sketches tomorrow)
There's an interview with me over at Pikaland. Soon my Art as Business e-course will be starting at Camp Pikaland!
