Last May I moved into a new studio. I used to work from home, but now I’ve found a perfect spot in a former nursing home in the centre of town. I’ve been cleaning and painting it and moved in my stuff. It’s great working here; I’ve more space and my focus is even better. Isn’t that a good thing ;)?
The third and latest picture in our project of combining photography and illustration is also a portrait. A sweet little girl standing in front of a pastel coloured background holding a funny black moustache. The contrast of the girl’s innocence and the moustache intrigued me and so I wanted to develop this idea further.
Driven by mutual interest for each other’s work and the question how our disciplines relate to each other, photographer Irma Bulkens and I have worked together on a visual project. Our goal is to find out how her photography and my illustrations could strengthen and influence each other. LEES VERDER
At the bookstore in town I bought a card display rack. It serves me as an ‘inspirational carousel’. The surface of the magnetic board next to my desk wasn’t big enough for all the beautiful cards and booklets I like to be surrounded with.
