CONVERSE TRIX MURAL

I was contacted again by the wonderful people of CONVERSE to do another mural for them (the fifth already). This time in the backstage of Antwerp concert hall Trix, as they're pimping all the ugly backstages of concert halls. I loved the idea and put my Zombie Cash character on a wall with a subtle Converse-reference. Fun times !

Xtra picture of me and the mural by talented photographer Frederik Buyckx on Converse's flickr page here.

USE-IT MURAL

I made this mural for the nice people of Use-It, in their office in Brussels (Belgium). They make great free alternative maps for young travellers and wanted to spice up their empty walls.

included subjects are couch surfing, hostels, a travelling guitar, skate ramp, skating airplane, the botanical garden of Brussels including evil plants, a non-existent arabian lighthouse, reference to surrealist painter Magritte and his pipe, dinosaur on a skateboard as a reference to famous local street artist "Bonom", extreme camping, a ufo and directions to Paris, London, Berlin and the moon.

great fun !

CODASYNC - AKRONIZE

Awesome and inventive Antwerp rock band CODASYNC has a new album called AKRONIZE ( free to download on their website ! ). For the 4th time already I did the artwork. Again very different from the previous ones, I made a remix of one of my own pieces this year.

2 December 2011 is the release show at Scheld'apen, Antwerp (Belgium). It's bound to be explosive again !

CONVERSE WALL TO WALL PROJECT

* picture by Laurie Mottie
I was privileged to do the first mural for Converse's Wall to Wall project. Around the globe they have local artists do murals around the new star chevron logo. It was an adventurous task to paint the whole thing ( 20m wide at 7m height ) in 2 days on a shaky scaffolding while a storm was going on. But thanks to the awesome people of Converse, Street Art Belgium and assistants El Topo and Laurie Mottie I succeeded. check out the vid above and interview + pictures.

DUO SHOW IN SEPTEMBER

16th - 18th of September is the opening weekend of my duo show with Natasja Baans at Bries Space in Antwerp, Belgium. Our work is very different, but at the same time we share that naive nature and love for flashy colours. Both influenced by pop culture and our daily life we present you a lot of different artworks. painted, drawn, printed, big, small. come check it out ! More info on the flyer !

CONVERSE BLOCK PARTY MURAL TIME LAPSE

THE LIBRARY PROJECT - POSTCARDS

Earlier this year I made 9 illustrations for The Library Project. I interviewed 9 young people and visualized what their ideal library would look like. Now Ladda VZW and the Waasland Libraries made these into a sweet postcard series ! e-mail me if you'd like a stack.

JANGOJIM - A DOCUMENTARY

Film school student, Kris Van den Bulck, asked me a few months ago to do his final school project about me and my passion for drawing. At first I was a bit hesitant. Aren't you supposed to be dead or very famous, crazy, very experienced,...before someone makes a documentary about you ? The idea felt weird, but I decided to help him create his final project as I thought it could be fun too. And I was happily surprised by the result. Thanks, Kris !

HOTEL JARRETELLE SKETCH

I was part of the live sketching crew at Hotel Jarretelle, Ghent's Burlesque festival.
It was awesome ! 1930's style, sexy pin-ups, feathers, exotica, fire & striptease. Difficult drawing when you can barely see anything & when the stuff happening on stage is more interesting than what's on your paper :).

ZeemeerZine

Little zine Maarten De Saeger and I created at Bar BIBI in Antwerp where I host a drawing night, every Monday. It's about seamen ( hehe ) and mermaids.

WOODPEOPLE - HOT DOG POM POM

This is part of a new series: "WOODPEOPLE", for an upcoming solo show.

Little ode to the acrobatic and entertaining basketball Harlem Globetrotters team ( I think their theme song fits best here) and the cheerleader scene in American Beauty. Great film.

PLANET X

Playing around with markers..
on Planet X.

WOODPEOPLE - HOLEYWOOD DIRECTOR

This is part of a new series: "WOODPEOPLE", for an upcoming solo show.

Little ode to the great Spielberg, the obvious emptiness of Hollywood and still awesome Jurassic Park. I bet Steven only drinks lemonade while playing with action figures in his office.

EARTHBARF - LIMITED RISOGRAFIA PRINT

They asked a bunch of talented people ( amongst them Ephameron, Jan Van Der Veken, Zosen, Thierry Jaspart, Mark Goss, .. ) to make a 2 color-print and this is my addition to the series. It's for sale and limited to a series of 100 signed prints.

WOODPEOPLE - ROCKABILLY BUBBLE BOY

This is part of a new series: "WOODPEOPLE", for an upcoming solo show.

Together with my previous rockabilly waitress this grease boy here is a little ode to the Rockabilly/Rock 'n Roll era and greasy haircuts of Elvis and Johnny Cash. I think this song by Ruckus Tyler fits him perfectly.

WOODPEOPLE - ROCKABILLY SHAKE GIRL

This is part of a new series: "WOODPEOPLE", for an upcoming solo show.

Little ode to the Rockabilly/Rock 'n Roll era-waitress. Very inspiring times with movies like American Graffiti or music like this one here from Charlie Feathers, nicely used in Kill Bill.

The Wall

Professional photographer Vincent Callot and his girlfriend put some of my prints up in their house and shared this picture as proof :). Looks sweet !

additionally this post is called "The Wall", because I went to see Pink Floyd's The Wall last week and it was awesome !

This is part of a new series: "WOODPEOPLE", for an upcoming solo show. This fella's name refers to the glockenspiel instrument below, but also to the main character in the fantastic Polanski movie, The Pianist. The brassband costume is on its turn a little ode to The Beatles.

There will be a little bit of blood..

Ode to a fantastic film, There Will Be Blood, and part of a new series: "WOODPEOPLE", for a new upcoming show of mine, based on a Playmobil toy and my Lumberjack illustration earlier.

PICTURESQUE WEBSITE

I designed the website of some good friends of mine
( 2 professional photographers and 1 director ) for their new production company, Picturesque. It had to be fun and colourful, so I provided a world starting from space to jungle, New York-like city, Alaska, Scotland and Hawaii-like place with the three of them returning on each page. crazy and playful.
