Poster (and logo) for Please Don’t Stop The Music, an initiative by Andries van Wieren, to help Dutch music acts through the Covid-19 period. Peter Hordijk (who also built this site) and I worked overnight to launch the site just the morning after we got the assignment.
Poster for ‘Don’t Stop The Music’, an initiatief by Andries van Wieren and 3S music to help Dutch bands and music artists in times of the Corona pandemic.
‘Don’t stop the Music’ is a site where you can hear Dutch artists, listen to their music, buy their records and services, mostly as music teachers or coaches. It had to be realised over night, and Peter Hordijk, who built the site (and this site, too) and i had to work pretty hard. But with effect, i like to think!
Poster (autonomous work) with Kali – stating ‘Nothing lasts Forever’. I called this poster ‘Kali Maya because Maya posed for it and ‘Maya’ means the ‘veil between us and reality’. The poster is silk printed by hand in 5 colours and is 1.20 cm high.
If you want to buy a print (there are two left) mail me!
Poster for Hotel Modern. I wanted to emphasise the loneliness one can have living in a city: the feeling that ‘much is happening, but you’re not part of it’ can be heavy, especially for young people. So i asked photographer Tza Tza to make these pictures of the actors and i ripped the prints into this poster.
This is a silk printed design; in fact, not a poster but the world’s biggest business card. i made it for a philosopher who brought talents together.
‘Je moet niet denken dat een ander denkt zoals jij denkt’ means ‘you should not think someone else thinks the way you do’, and ‘Wijze Lessen’ means ‘Wise Lessons’ (if this is even English). I thought my client was a person crying in the wilderness: loud, with good ideas but unheard by policy makers. So i made a huge business card for him: it is one meter high and about 65 cm wide.
Poster for the Amsterdam based spy fi band ‘West Hell Five. The photo was made by Myrthe ter Maten, the model is Marieke Bos. The typography is projected on the model so i had this sketched out very carefully and the model had muscle strains the next day. It never ceases to amaze me how unnatural models must bend their bodies to occur natural on photos.
on the back site of the poster is a novelle written by drummer Wilf Plum. I did the typography of the story on seemingly torn pages from a book with a hole in it to hide a gun.
