We’ve done it again. Saturday 31 October the third issue of O.K. Periodicals was launched at the Illustrative Festival in Berlin. This biannual independent publication is created in collaboration with design studio O.K. Parking.
The latest edition features work centered around the theme ‘repetition’. An international cast of established and upcoming creatives, writers, photographers, illustrators, graphic designers and fashion stylists all contributed to making this a very special issue. Over 400 people contributed to the worlds first crowd-sourced cover.
The first 100 subscribers will receive a limited edition silkscreen print by my alter ego FreakyFauna. For more info go here.
The one minute animation ‘Creatures of the Night’ has been selected to be shown in cinemas throughout Amsterdam as part of the N8/Cineville Nachtshots programme.

Survived the chaos of Tripoli traffic, slept with troglodytes and marveled at the ruins of Leptis Magna. Lybia is a strange and fascinating country that sharpens the senses.
In the center of Amsterdam, right off the Haarlemmerstraat in the Jordaan, stands the West-Indies House. Apart from organizing a conference or throwing a wedding party, you can now visit my studio at this beautiful seventeenth century building.
A year ago today, I opened my studio. 2008 was an exciting year with many interesting projects and collaborations. Traveling through Japan was inspiring, research on the design aspects of multiculturalism brought many fresh insights, working on O.K. Periodicals was rewarding, and the exhibition with Le Grand Crew was a success. I’ve learned a lot, and I’m ready for what’s coming. Hello 2009!
From now on all my illustrations will be available at my new blog. All the beasts, anatomical rarities and typographical mutants can roam free there. A selection of my illustration work will still be available on the projects page of this website. Enjoy the blog!
