The villanuts people invited me to join their tshirt design contest and do a live painting session with violin player Lonneke van Straalen at their exhibition in “het nuts huis”. Pics by Stefan ZMK.

Wederom met de infamous dstruct posse. Dirty Brown takes a swing at designing t-shirts
for sale at this amazing music&art festival.

The model for this illustration i did for dimi magazine (Peter strauss) liked the result that much that he ordered a print on canvas. Here i photographed the finished work in his house. Im very satisfied with the results.

We got invited to VJ at the sand in Amsterdam with amazing DJ erick morillo. I did a special set for this event, the place was sold out and the party was all magic.

For the 2008 museum-night i got invited by the blaak10 gallery at wittedewith street to make a blacklite painting on a1 board based on the theme “set a light”. The rotterdam museumnight is a yearly event and always busy and fun. All the galleries and museums are open at night…Here is a picture and a avi file made by paul middelkoop at the blaak10.

…FROM THE STREET ON UP! CONTEMPORARY STREETART

DONDERDAG 28 FEBRUARI in VILLA NUTS

..FROM THE STREET ON UP! CONTEMPORARY STREETART

Met de expositie “…from the street on up!” presenteert curator Joseph Kosir (Dirty Brown Visuals) een integer en realistisch overzicht van dit hedendaagse cultuurfenomeen.
Streetart is een beweging ontstaan uit een kruisbestuiving tussen graffiti en politiek activisme en maakt onder andere gebruik van agressieve reclame technieken om haar boodschap te verspreiden.

Binnen de hedendaagse kunst wordt op dit moment regelmatig aandacht besteed aan de streetart als beweging en als kunststroming. Daarbij wordt echter vaak alleen aandacht besteed aan het illustratieve element en worden de politieke en actieve street elementen vergeten. Met een brede line-up van (internationale) streetartists laten wij zien “Whats for real!”.

In “…from the street on up!” wordt vooral de credible streetart belicht alsmede de exponenten in fashion en illustratie die deze energieke kunststroming teweeg heeft gebracht.

Together with the lastplakkies i did a show at a streetart oriented gallery in Wien. Inoperable Gallery, ran by Nick Ganz is a small but nice gallery with a small shop close to the Mariahilferstrasse. You can check them out here.

Dstruct Exhibition @ Bootleg 3rd of November 2007

An exhibition with stencilworks by the man himself (ruwethresjitdatathijs) and musical backup by dstruct, stefan, spindokter ries and myself. After a vj-gig in utrecht i was last to finish off the party with some electrotechno tracks. WOOP WOOP.

We keep on hijacking the Rotterdam advertising signs. Its very fun. And easy.

This is in the Mauritsstraat in Rotterdam somewhere end of the summer 2007.

So..i got bored n went out to do some posters in Rotterdam.

Acrylics and ink on magazine paper. sept 9 2007.

The Dstruct guys invited me to do a small dj-set on the saturday of the “wereld van witte de with” festival. For this event they made an open air exhibition with a mobile silkscreen studio and a dj-booth. 2007’s festival was great…one of the best so far. Pics by Angeliek.

I started doing these shapes out of board and stick them with industrial sprayglue.

The results made me very happy/sticky. I did these in aug/sept 2007. First one is close to

the Van Nelle fabriek, second one is in West, third is behind WitteDeWithstraat.

This is the second mural i did at the Kijkdoos hotel project in Vlissingen. The sun was shining like crazy that day and this hotel is next to the beach….just LOVELY!

I was asked by white party to VJ at their 2007 edition of WhiteParty at the Melkweg. This party was the official Amsterdam Gaypride afterparty. My co-pilot for the night was Mr. Janne Wolterbeek who was making additional visuals on the spot. This party kicked some serious ass! The GAY know how to party HARD!

I was asked to design and execute the painting for the redbull stage at the 2007 edition of DanceValley (the legendary outdoor electronic music event). For this job i invited staygoldroy, matthijs de valk and senser, together we executed this 10 meter high painting live and on the spot within 10 hours.

For RedBull i made these nice 50×50cm canvasses partially at home and partially on the spot at the 2007 edition of DanceValley festival. The canvasses were largely made using stencils in an edition of 50 and were given to people through the RedBull website later on.

Deel van het 5mei / bevrijdingsdag festival programeert senser al 6 jaar een dance podium. Met hier Secret Cinema (live) en visuals door dirty brown voor 6000 mensen als afsluiter van de 2007 editie. Het dak ging eraf, elk jaar weer een dik feest. Een aantal bezoekers zetten hun filmpjes online check hier voor de sfeerbeelden: 1 2 3

In vlissingen the organisation “SENSER” was given a HUGE hotel on the boulevard next to the beach. The idea is to invite people from the graffiti and streetart scene to completely fill the outside of the building with art. Some of the participants are: casrock, zedz, maclaim, booyabase, super-a, gek. You can check out kijkdoos here. They have a nice gallery there.

This is the first illustration i did for Dimi magazine. Its a magazine on the cultural scene in Rotterdam. The article is about upcoming people in the Rotterdam theatre/dance/fashion and streetart scene. The text says: feed your talent.
