tie, painting, UNIT 070, Enkeling, 2009

Last friday I spent at the Business Event 2009 in the Caballero Fabriek in The Hague. New company UNIT 070’s Petra van der Kwartel and Armijn Woudman asked me to customize ties for the occasion.
It also marked the first time I wore a tie since that thin fake leather thingie with the rubber band I had for a very short time when I was ten.
