The guys from sesame street funk invited me to join them painting
at this amazing festival with many many musical acts, 22000 visitors
and crazy art, freestyle poetry, theatre, and eye candy everywhere.
Definately one of the the nicest festival holland has, here’s a linky.

This is a canvas i did somewhere in 2006-2007?? I think….Anyway…The title is: Global life-global people…all the other paintings in this serie were sold…maybe i keep this one. Its my man Sota Ide from the Cinra crew in Tokyo.

Next to doing an exhibition we had some time to do streetart in Vienna. Unfortunately all my photo’s got deleted but i could recover these three….First one is at the Naschmarkt, second one at U-bahn Pilgramgasse..

Everyone needs a change now and then…next to the visuals i did a nice breakbeat/elektro/Bmore djset at the waterfront this night…LOVIN’ IT!

This is the greatest….i was on the flyer to be at this mini-festival and sell my shirts and artworks…but actually i was too damn busy to actually show up…then later that day i ended up doing a b2b dj-set with MR. ruwe data…..at the same festival. For real…the dstruct posse ROCKS!

My friend Jur is doing all these funky shops around the globe, as here in “le printemps” in Paris. I went along because i LOOOOOOOOOOOVE to paint.

This June we were in Paris. Next to helping my homeboy Jur D-light i had some time left to do some streetart.

Today i went out with BMX genius and my man from WAAAAY back MARK VOS to shoot some crazy footage in Rotterdam, including a wallride at the Erasmus bridge…im too damn busy to finish capturing the footage but as soon as i have it ill upload some stills here…

Damn…this dude is crazy!

For the third year in a row the complete napalmed collective joins the kunsttour weekend in Maastricht. Again we changed Jesic’s studio into a gallery to showcase our works. Which worked rather well, for us this was surely the best visited kunsttour ever.
This year i tried to move away from the installational type of work, so it’s more of a 2d thing.

We did a full-on terror visual set for this WAAAAY cool dudes from Oss…what can i say…these dudes ROCK! Well…ROCK as in with a broken guitar thats making only k?ho^$qwuh2{u2eoiy$^#E”u8 types of sound.

Simultaneously with the kunsttour i took part in this exhibition. For this one i made a mural (detail shots below) and the first half of a double piece that featured in both Breda and in Maastricht. I was thinking a lot about the position of the human in current society and how the enormous inflation makes people be more on the lookout for “number 1″. Its some serious things which i tried to incorporate in the themes for both exhibitions.

Its hard for me not to paint…

Again we painted a mural at the kijkdoos project in Vlissingen. The Senser organisation keeps rocking this old hotel on the boulevard hotspot. Participants include gek, superA, zedz and many more. This photo is a detail of the giant wall i did. For more info check: www.senser.nl

Again a vjset at the infamous “i love tekno”…i keep ripping up my gear with this gig.

We picked up the idea to do “hanami” in Tokyo and film the city and the sakura blossoms for future VJ-gigs. Some of the footage was used in the visuals for the Ferry Corsten shows.

For the april2008 issue of DIMI (Rotterdams culture magazine) we made this illustration. The illustration goes with an article about viva la poze…a multidisciplinary event about fashion and lifestyle. The model for this illustration is Peter Strauss.

As i announced before, i was designing and making tshirts for the tshirt expo and sale at the tegendraads festival @ LVC in Leiden. Here is some photos, i hope to add some more later.

At my homebase…club off-corso they just installed 2 new projectors. Here im using the full set of beamers plus 2×9 monitors for visuals at a solid-sold-out retro 8090ies party. Now all i need is a matrix and i’ll start calling myself “the smooth operator”.

At the hoogtij event all the galleries and museums are open at night in Den Haag. The villanuts people asked me to dj a 4hr set at this extra evening opening of our expo …from the street on up! that is still running at the villanuts gallery untill 4th of april.
