Not my own work this time, but from my talented daughter. For her Master's project she worked on this children's book about jazz and jazz musicians. Since the target audience are children, she used animals alternating with musicians and charming short stories about their lives. There was also a CD included with songs from the book. Below some spreads of JAZZZOO!

A while ago I posted a picture of my family tree on my mother's side. This one is on my father's side. On the left there is the handwriting of my great grandfather. He had to write a dictation in order to be admitted to become a customs officer. He passed the test! Below there is his picture and at the right some military papers. The oldest ancestor I found so far was born in 1652. I'll keep searching!  I love butterflies and I never get tired of painting them. Here's two details of a concertinabook I made in 2009.   It requires a lot of work and time to come to a final piece. Lots and lots of trials and errors before a piece is finished. Not to mention countless sleepless nights. Now and then I have to clean up my studio and make decisions of what to keep and what to throw away. 
 I'm halfway through this sketchbook page and below you can see a slide show most of the drawings. I'm learning Spanish and this is a good way for me to remember words. I still have to fill the other side of the page. My intention is to use all these small drawings in a new piece and to make a print of it.   I dug up these New Year's cards from over the past twenty years or so. They're all made by my siblings, my daughter and me. The beginning of a new year is a perfect moment for showing them once more!

Since 2001 I'm making these oblong concertina books. The term 'concertina' refers to a method of parallel folding with the folds alternating between front. This picture shows a detailed view of two of these books. Mustn't read too much into it: the top one is just a compilation of different paintings and text blocks without any cohesion. The only consistency would be color. The bottom one is about an long adventurous trip I made from Belgium to Iran.  This is a new lino cut print design with one of my favorite sayings. One of these days I will start the cutting (love that) and the printing and it will turn into a new card. I'm planning a whole series of new lino print cards with quotes that I love!  This was one of those moments of tidying up my drawing folders, finding a whole lot of pieces of paper with trials and testings from over the last fifteen years and having to decide whether to keep them or throw them away. Well, in the meantime most of them are gone but I've made some pictures of everything because they can inspire me for future pieces. Next time I'll post some other ones!
  Nothing like writing a card to a dear abroad friend while sipping a good cup of coffee and listening to songs on the radio. I'm not a big writer and I'm not a staunch coffee drinker but the combination of these three things makes it fun! Niets gezelliger dan een kaartje schrijven naar een lieve buitenlandse vriend en ondertussen genieten van een lekker kopje koffie en luisteren naar liedjes op de radio. Ik ben geen groot schrijver en zeker geen fervent koffiedrinker maar met de combinatie van deze drie dingen wordt het een leuk zen-moment!  |
