SCHOOLLIFE

Film project # 1
In this first project there were six of us. And all six of us had a job and a opinion. I wrote the script and passed it on to the next person. So it happened that someone became the actor, someone filmed, someone edited, someone took care of things, someone opened up her house as film hub, someone overlooked and someone found some great music. Then all six of us gave a little. And then it was ready.  And all six of us were happy.

We made a threeminuteshort. 

We are Van der Berg | Exel | Hoekstra | Quist | Spin and Untersalmberger.

 
What if all is done, all is remembered, all is lived.
Over and over. And still, you are here. 

FORGOTTEN

To watch, click on image, please.

Some scenes from the script in Dutch.They describe the storyline, how to shoot, pictures and the meaning of the shots.

SHOP

Red cap with Nadia is also available as postcard at kaartje2go. Check out my collection so far!

For an old fashioned winterish season with a little fantasy and fun (and lots of birds, offcourse).

NADIA

This is a great knitted cap and under it lives a gorgeous boy named Jasper.

I couldn’t stop watching this picture. And the cap.

(even if it is a little dark, oh well it’s fall time, darkness creeps in everywhere).

So it happened that Nadia had to had one. And now all she needs is a Jasper for company.

Eten        To eat

Mercat de la Boqueria (grote versmarkt), Barcelona, 2012

Spanje 2012.
Het vlees is niet goedkoop, maar we hebben honger. Ook al is dat niet aan ons af te zien. Met onze dikke buik staan we voor het uitgestalde vlees en fantaseren over het moment van het spetteren in de olie en ruiken de geur van het braden.
Er is zoveel, de keuze is zo groot. Honger.
Misschien moesten we vandaag maar een groter stuk nemen dan eten we morgen wel wat minder. Want het is best duur.
We hebben het hier niet breed en de tijden zijn slecht. Maar eten hebben we hier nog. Het is vers en uitnodigend. We gaan wel naar de markt, dat scheelt toch wel iets.

We hebben hier de keuze. Minder eten, minder nieuwe kleren, niet meer naar de tandarts, tweedehands schoolboeken, een goedkoper huis.

In ieder geval niet minder eten.

Spain 2012.
Meat is not cheap, but we are hungry. Even if you can’t tell that by looking at us. With our big belly’s we gaze at the meat in front of us en fantasize about the moment it sizzles in oil and the delicious smells reach our brain.
So many meat. So many choice. Hungry.
Maybe today we will buy a bigger peace, we can eat a little less tomorrow.
Because it really is kind of expensive.
We do not have many means and times are rough. But food we still have. It’s fresh and it is calling on us. And we go to the market, that’s still a little cheaper.

We have a choice here. We can buy less food, less clothing, don’t visit the dentist, second-hand schoolbooks, a more affordable home.

Anyway, less food. Never.

WORK

A new illustration for all the offspring born at the end of august. It is still warm. In fact sometimes even warmer then June of July. There is a warm glow of the sun moving towards fall, pushing out the last of its radiant power. There is still so much life en movement in the air, in the water, in nature. It is a lovely time.

Illustration front of the card and below the illustration for the inside. The little duck-story continues.

HOT DOG

My ‘bleak-summer’ remark bit me in the ass. This weekend we almost turned to dust (as the high sandy grounds we live on in this area). It was thirty-eight degrees.

Mr. Majestic came to life under a big wet pink towel. He smiled with relief.

Maybe it isn't the right time for tulips, but it is always the right time for sunshine (especially as we type, it’s a bleak summer in these low lands).
