LIFE

Yes, howdy, we’re back on the program. After ‘just’ three years.

First two years of hard working to finish school and graduate with pride. Which in my case means pushing the grades higher and higher, while people telling me ‘to take it easy, man, you’ll get a heart attack’. But I lived and conquered. And then the third year I definitely needed a break.

And now here we are. Back on the blog.

Cheesecake, coffee, new glasses and a cactus. It is a glorious day, dudes.

‘Feelin’allright, I’m  not feelin’ to good myself’

Grand Funk Railroad

A cardboard cupboard, a storage option for your veggies, some cute cards to take while shopping tomatoes, a million little models, a contest and an exam. And this was just one course: Product Design 2d and 3d.

But first some drawing. 

 Perceptual Studies 2D

The assignment was to pick a theme, do research on material / techniques / attitude and try to find your own signature.

SELFPORTRET

I started out with sketches in pencil, Pierre Noir, charcoal and Siberian crayon. Inspired by the artists Rosemin Hendriks, Anouk Griffioen, Paul Citroen and David Hockney.

For my presentation (exam) I choose a collection of works that show progress and the search for my own handwriting. After number four I hang my pencil and Pierre Noir in the willows (in perfect Dutch-English). I moved along with only charcoal and Siberian crayon, which was a stretch for me. But I made peace with the material, buckled up and went for a ride. 

This is where I went:

For a little release, a last but not least – easy piece.

And now the cleaning of the room begins…maybe I can make some new charcoal bars from all this black dust.
