Day 301 - Minimal illustration: stormy weather

Today the weather is really stormy: the wind is blowing, leaves are flying around, trees are falling down, trains stop riding... People are told to stay inside.

Tis stormy day inspired me to make this illustration of windmills. As you can see, one of them has fallen down... even the windmills can't resist the storm.

Day 282 - Graphic design: Chanel pattern for t-shirt

Now and then I design illustrations or patterns for fashion, like e.g. t-hsirts or iPhone covers.

I made the design below for my daughter: she loves fashion and she loves Chanel.
So now she's got her own, custom-made, Chanel t-shirt.

Day 234 - Photography - natural patterns: aerial photos from Miami, Florida

Yesterday I flew back home... I had a wonderful time in the States.
New Yorks was really awesome. And I loved the nature of Florida.

On my trip home, I took some photos out of the plane. This is Miami.
Nice, isn't it?

Day 225 - Wonder Wall, inspiration at Piet Hein Eek Studio (2)

As I told a while ago, I have been at the Piet Hein Eek Studio in Eindhoven.

The studio is housed in an industrial building at Strijp S. In this studio, Piet Hein Eek shows his furniture designs. Varying from tables, chairs, beds to lamps and cupboards.

In his studio, there is also room for other designers. I already showed you an overview of the painted Wonder Wall by Jan van der Ploeg. Today I will show you some photo's of details of this wall.

Day 133 - Photography: Behind the edge, patterns and structure in architecture

Luigi Bonaventura, photographer, made a wonderful serie of photos from the fronts of hotels at Jesolo Beach, Venice. The title of this serie is Behind the edge.

Instead of just taking photos of the hotels, he searched for structure and patterns and tried to show them in an 'architectural' way. By doing so his photos look unreal. It seems as if the hotels are abandoned: the balconies all look the same, there are virtually no traces of the guests that occupy the rooms.
