Yesterday Marco and Maxim from Zwaan printmedia and me went to the Kalenderwedstrijd in the lovely Drufabriek in Ulft. There we picked up the prize for the best wall calendar of 2010 for our Rockalender. So Yay!

The start of this year might be a good time to let go of the daily part of my site. Nothing will change except for the fact that I no longer strive to put up an image each day. Quality control has gotten more important to me. Keep checking out this site though, I intend to put lots more in this space.

I started a Flickr account a while ago. There isn’t much to see there that isn’t on this site but it seems to be a nice way of finding a new audience.

In my neverending quest for weird techniques to make drawings I found the Sorbo® Quick & Easy. “The Sorbo® Quick & Easy is more than just a washing-up brush! This handy washing-up brush is fitted with its own reservoir and measured dosage pump enabling you to apply always the right amount of washing-up liquid.” Of course I filled it with ink instead of soap.
