WC-collage

De muur in de wc van Pacific Park. Een collage waar een hoop op te zien valt. Linda en ik waren hier om hamburgers te eten.

Cactus

Linda en ik zaten even koffie te drinken bij de Bakkerswinkel op het Westergasfabrieksterrein. Af en toe duwde een rukwind spullen van tafel. Deze cactus bleef gelukkig rustig staan. Zijn broertje was minder gelukkig en vloog door de lucht. 

Koffieontbijt

Vanmorgen met Linda even koffiegedronken in Coffee Plaza op het Van Limburg Stirumplein hier om de hoek. Ik heb er gelijk maar even een appelflap bijgegeten. De koffie smaakte erg goed. Het is een leuke tent, waar een boekenkast vol boeken staat. Geen idee of het de bedoeling is dat je die boeken daar uitleest of dat je ze mag lenen. Vergeten te checken.

Fake hedgehog

My girlfriend is trying to get a little allotment with a gazebo near our house. Thats' my she enlisted on Monday night. I went with her for support. Outside I saw this bulletin board with the fake hedgehog in it.

Rush Hour, May 2nd, 5:54 PM

As a citizen of Amsterdam one cannot miss the starting of the tourist season. During it one can hardly walk down town in the crowded streets. I shot this little moment from within a bus, safe from the crowds.

Street art, March 17th, 9:30 AM

After visiting the doctor I made a short impression of the street art in the Spuistraat.

Amsterdam cliches

I guess most people will think of the canals and typical 17th century houses when thinking about Amsterdam. Downtown, those cliches are most true. I love the canals though. Since I live nearby the Jordaan, I often take a stroll through these streets.

From Outer Space, March 14th, 4:30 PM

This afternoon Linda and I visited the 'From Outer Space' exhibition by Poster Rex at the Amsterdam Stadschouwburg (Amsterdam City Theatre).

This is the info I got from the SSBA-Salon Site about the project:

Falko Gerlinghoff (Halle), Lars Harmsen (Munich) and Markus Lange (Leipzig) met for the first time when they were involved in the print-workshop, ARIAL (2012), at the University of Applied Sciences, Dortmund, Germany. Half a year later they travelled to Havana, Cuba, to collaborate on the Cuban issue of SLANTED Magazine (published 2013). Lars, and his partners at Melville Brand Design, Munich, Germany, designed posters for the exhibition MoreMoreMore (2013). Each piece was a unique print, playing with accidents that occur randomly due to the process of overprinting different screens.

In summer 2014, Falko, Lars and Markus returned to Havana, to see the designers whom they had met the previous year. For three days they silkscreened posters, mixing Salsa with Bauhaus, and form these experiments the idea for POSTER REX was born.

POSTER REX was founded in 2014 by Lars Harmsen and Markus Lange and its objective is to offer print workshops in different cities. POSTER REX works together with artists, print shops and galleries to achieve original and unique prints, made my by hand, using analog techniques and processes.
The first workshop took place in Leipzig, Germany, in the Rainbow screen print workshop together with Frank Höhne, an illustrator from Berlin, Germany. The theme for the first workshop, and exhibition, at the Graphic bookstore MZIN, Leipzig, was ATOMIC. The next issue will take place in Amsterdam together with Edwin van Gelder from Mainstudio and the results will be exhibit in the SSBA Salon. The workshop is supported by Igepa and Pröll KG.

Magic bubbles

At the Westergasfabriek there's a fair for the next couple of days. I think this would be my favorite ride if I was still a ten year old. Fuck it, it's still my favorite ride. :)

Writings on both sides

That's right

That's right, little wall-writer, you are in...

Gnap! Gnap!

Watch out for those black Smurfs!

Three green dudes

Looking up in the Leidsestraat, you see something special every once in a while. Be careful not to stand in dogshit while looking up, this is still Amsterdam, you know.
