Winner "Zilveren Kei" 2007

I won an award!

I entered a local but pretty important competition. Along with 5 other young talented artists I was selected for the finales. This was already a pretty big deal for me because it meant my work would be displayed at an art gallery for one and a half week, and i would even get the chance to sell something there if there where people interested.

To my surprise, i actually won the thing! Judges said my work was fresh, actual, and had a deep connection with the youth and subculture. There was quite some press coverage, i was even invited to a local television studio for an interview!

Now that the first rush of victory has passed its time to update this wonderful news here on my blog. I'm not sure what I'm going to do next, but I do know that i'm going to do something.

First, here are a couple links to newspaper clippings from the Dutch newspaper "De Gooi en Eemlander":

All are images that where spawned by my love for dubstep music and the underground culture that comes with it.

I hope to have some more information for you soon, with additional images from paintings that are featured at the exhibition.

You can visit the exhibition at the GSA Hilversum, Langestraat 55.

The exhibition runs until the 7th of oktober.

Silly Faces

I was going through some old images of mine and i found this forgotten jewel. Its only a quick scetch, a style tryout, but i found it charismatic enough to post.

A New Banner!

I updated the blog with a fresh new banner.

Dour 2007

The accounts of Dour Festival 2007. Unfortunately i got sick on the third day, so the drawings kind of stop there. Nevertheless an interesting vieuw.

Sadly, i do not have it in english, so dutch will have to do.

Battlerager

A 3d model created for Tides of Blood.

This model was based on the Mountain King model from the game warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos.
The texture was made by me.

The Battlerager is a highly defencive fighter, that uses its spiked armor and shields to deal some serious damage on the battlefield.

Hung Orc

An orc named Hung.

Its a golden oldie i made a long time ago, exploring the possubilities of digital painting.

Dutchstep Allstars

A flyer design i did for a dubstep party.

This is not the final result, this is one of the best test versions that i did. The eventual design is going to be a lot simpler, and will be posted here once it is officially released.

For all you dutch bass lovers out there, the information on the flyer is slightly outdated. The entrance fee is now 6 euros rather then 5.

Many thanks to Blauwe Fedde from dubstep.nl crew. Not only did he provide useful criticism, but the allstars logo in the background and the dubstep.nl skull are of his making.
