A few months ago I designed a poster for my short film “Hare”. Really just for my own entertainment, until I heard from a few people that they liked the design enough to have it in their house/garage/storage room/palazzo. Fantastic, I thought. Fast forward to today, I can hardly enter my bedroom because of an oversized box of printed merchandise sitting on the floor. Now what?!
You can help, by getting one!
These are generously sized posters (A1: 594 × 841 mm), fullcolor offset on a 135 grams semigloss poster stock. It’s a nice print with excellent color reproduction, and selling for the friendly price of 10 euros +shipping. I figured that you could barely purchase a Deuce Bigalow European Gigilo poster for the same price, so…just saying.
And, I’m throwing in some free stickers and mini postcards on the first 50 orders

The work, made especially for this show, is a 60×80 cm (23.6 x 31.5 inch) oil on canvas.
Pictured below, is a square centimeter sample.

The desk of Fons Schiedon…has a new view. Overlooking the south-Kreuzberg area of Berlin, I now get a daily treat of ridiculously colorful sunsets and the smell of sizzling grill meat. Great! More! Distraction!
Ooh, butterfly

Above, is a poster designed as part of the publication/bag/catalog of “The Collectors”, the Danish and Nordic Pavillions exhibition at this year’s Biennale di Venezia. The exhibition concept is built around the topic of collecting, which on this poster is explored by presenting a collection of quotes about the nature of collecting, as told through the voices of “the Dandy”, “the Homeless” and “the Intellectual”.
Commissioned by Elmgreen & Dragset. Text by Anna Echterhölter.

This was made for “The Ark”, an upcoming book published by IdN and curated by DPGH. The book is a collection of 200 renderings of animals from the home countries of an international group of artists.
Given that the Netherlands’ habitat lacks Manta Rays, I chose otter.

Post Panic, the dutch production house celebrating their 12 year anniversary, moved into a new big (huge, grand, marvelous) office overlooking the Amsterdam harbour and a horizon gracefully embellished with fluffy cloud formations but other than that so clear you can practically see the shimmering reflections of a tidal wave of fortune heading over to flush the lower parts of the tiny country with goodness.
That’s the view outside though.
Looking inside, into an enormous two-level space, are several elements of various properties and different objects of distinguished characteristics. As you might expect. And on the first floor, just as you made your way up a staircase, is a wall. And that wall, has a picture on it that I made.

fig A “Stack”
A couple of publications (fig. A) kindly featured my work in the past few months.
By no means would I want to single out any of these lovely publications, but I’d like to single out one in particular.
Prepare for Pictopia is the catalog published on the occassion of the “Pictopia” exhibition at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin, past March. It’s a beautifully produced book with excellent reproductions of the works in the exhibition, as well as a rich selection of essays and articles. These texts (by writers including artist Paul McCarthy and researcher Brian R. Duffy) provide an understanding of the historic evolvement of the topic of figuration and the broader cultural context the works are part of. I’m very humbled to be part of this publication, it’s the best you can get on the topic.

Aah yes, easter. What a lovely time of the year.
Speaking of terrified rabbits..pictured here is a theatrical poster design for my epic 45 second sequence “Hare” (published here earlier as a part of the PSST! Pass it on 3 collaborative film project). A micro film in which a hare rabbit carrying a canvas is seen running through a forest, away from an unknown threat.
A poster for such a microscopic piece is ridiculous, I know, it makes no sense, but keep reading.
Not long ago I was invited to create a new film poster for Fellini’s 8 1/2, and that sparked my interest in the relation between film – a time based, immersive medium – and graphic design – still and generally briefly consumed. The privilege of that project was that any marketing motivated aspects could be ignored, making room for a purely artistic expression. That’s where it gets interesting. If the design can be a very subjective interpretation of the film or even an extension of the film’s thematic universe, it not only has the option to honoustly resonate with the viewer, but is also less likely to undermine the experience of the film itself. Doing that for one of my favorite movies didn’t exactly make it any easier, but nonetheless I recall experiencing some degree of pleasure working on it.
So. I couldn’t resist making another poster.
OWN IT!
If you like this design and would be interested in having it as a A1 sized poster (594 × 841 mm / 23.4 × 33.1 inch), just let me know! Send me an email or leave a comment below. If I get enough feedback I’ll do a small print run. Sure, why not! It will be a high quality offset print on medium heavy poster stock…good quality, but keeping the price below 25 euros.
Thanks!!
