We also made a slightly different version…eh…a tad less cute perhaps, with a track by Bram Meindersma:

Temperatures have dropped a little over here in the Bundesrepublik (exhibit A). In the warm and comfortable environment of my home, I suddenly found the “inspiration” for a tiny update.

Each year production house Submarine gives their employees something special for Christmas. Something special, as opposed to, you know, …kitchen appliances.
For last year’s gift they asked me to do a drawing (exhibit B), printed and signed in a limited run of 40. As may be clear from viewing the picture, it has as a subject several instances of Jesus, portrayed performing the act of imaginative brain traveling. Yes sir. In the most cunning fashion, the drawing incorporates several visual themes that apply to the company’s work and spirit.

B

and finally
Starting next week, some of my paintings will be in a (still somewhat secret) group show in Amsterdam. Part of profits will be donated to charity and part of the profit will be donated to me. Below is one of the pieces in the show (exhibit C).
More on this soon…

Mobbed is a collaboration between MTV Asia and Motorola, employed as a TV show, content for mobile phones, website, events, goodies and whatever else. Users are invited to be active participants, submitting and sharing content and feedback.

An important element in the communication aspect is a group of characters called the MobSquad. These three friends (Donny Sunshine, Lenny and Gus) appear in their own bi-weekly miniseries (13 episodes with a duration of 30-80 seconds) and star in everything else Mobbed-related. Dysfunctional behaviour is their main activity.
