Mudshirt

Dutch summers are unpredictable and quite rainy from time to time. The Dutch love to complain about that fact. That’s why MUDSHIRT started silk- screen printing a T-shirt collection with local mud (which will survive the washing machine).

A T-SHIRT SILKSCREEN PRINTED WITH LOCAL MUD

The designs on the shirts are in collaboration with talented Dutch illustrators. That’s why MUDSHIRT is your typical Dutch souvenir. The shirts are silkscreen printed on demand and at the location with a mobile silkscreen shop inside of a cargo bike.

Het Tussenuur

I did the rebranding for the young talent program of the Rotterdam theatre. They’re called Het Tussenuur, which is translated as free hour. Therefor I created an identity where the logo is standing between two brackets. I used the space between the brackets to show what the events of ‘het Tussenuur’ where about. A young talent program is nothing without it’s talents. So we did a shoot with the organisation. Every person was photographed with a custom made object, which told something about the person.

A gay goodbye

Together with Cinerama and Martijn Lankveld, I organized another movie night. This time in honor of actor and professional joker Robin Williams. Not a mourning ceremony, but a celebration of his life. For this occasion we screened The Birdcage and a special guest, the founder of the official Robin Williams fanclub, reflected on Robin’s life and the story behind that characteristic smile of his. I was also responsible for the visual identy that was developed for the event. The portrait of Robin Williams is based on the two sides of the character he plays in the movie The Birdcage and resembles the two-sided life of the actor.
