Always carry a sketchbook and always keep on drawing and doodling for fun. Castle on a roll, I bet it would love the universe of M.C.Escher.

UNIQLO COASTER (illustration)

Made a coaster illustration to celebrate the opening of a new store of Japanese clothing brand Uniqlo in Antwerp. Great to collaborate with a company from Tokyo since I visited Japan this year and had a blast. The coasters were spread all over Antwerp.

AB HOSTEL ANTWERP (MURAL)

Making of the mural I did for AB Hostel in Antwerp. It used to be a chocolate factory, so I added some references to that, Belgian foods, the city and harbor of Antwerp and of course travelling. Great fun !
The mural was part of “Discover Antwerp Through Experience”-project where 12 international creatives were led through Antwerp for a week. In the animated gif for a few frames in the Light Blue shirt you can spot Paris-based Reynald Feracci helping me out, who has a fashion label called http://mamama-paris.com/.

ANTWERP (ANIMATION)

Made an animated gif to show my love for my hometown, Antwerp. An inspiring, artistic cosmopolitan city with a rich medieval history and big harbor.
The hand is a reference to the origin folk tale of the city where a Roman soldier called Brabo chopped off the hand of an evil giant that controlled the city and threw it in the river.

CHARLEROI, PAYS NOIR - (ILLUSTRATION POSTER)

For the creative market event "6001 is the new 1060" in Charleroi, Belgium I made this poster.

"Le Pays Noir" is French for "The Black Country" which is a reference to the coal industry that made the region very successful in the 19th and 20th century before its downfall. Nowadays there are almost only abandoned factories. It is now a very poor place and even voted "Ugliest City in the World". A group of artists sees huge potential and organises a creative market once or twice a year. For the second time I took part in it and had a blast. So much energy, so many cool artists and wonderful people.

TV SHOW KINDERGARTEN CLASS MURAL

Helped out my best friend Adil el Arbi. He’s a movie director and took part in a tv show. He had to perform a series of tasks and ask for help through social media. One of these tasks was to revamp a kindergarten classroom in a school in the C-Mine area of Beringen, Genk (Belgium). An old mining village with lots of Turkish, Polish and Italian flavor.

Volunteers transformed the classroom by building new walls, a big mirror and furniture. Pretty crazy. And I did a really fast mural to spice up the place, having slept only 3 hours. There was no time to repaint the green wall, so I tried to make it as fun as possible with doodles, silly characters and a reference to the mines. Met so many nice people. Unexpected adventures like these make life great.

C-Mine, Genk. I love old industrial stuff like this !

SOUL DRAWINGS (LIVE ACT)

For my summer expo at Bar Stulp in Antwerp I experimented with a new special act. LIVE SOUL DRAWINGS, inspired by fortune teller animatronics and automaton machines. I translate your soul and who you are into a drawing coloured with watercolours. Loads of fun and because of the enthusiasm I received I’ll definitely do it again. Got to know so many interesting people and hear so many cool stories, amongst them a girl that does special effects make up in movies.
