Last post...

...of this year!

I don't have the time to make a beautiful post with some nice pictures. So instead, just a picture of a text I found online.

I wish you all the best in the new year!
I hope 2009 will become an even better year than 2008. I have my doubts about that because 2008 was a very special year to me. Probably one of the best years of my whole life.

Enough rambling.

Have a great day / evening / night...

I hope to see you all in 2009!

It's Kwistmus!

explanation of the title of this post: that's what my sister said the whooole time


- What time is it? -


- 'It's Kwistmus time!!' -


- With one Bonbon to share with the whooole family! (Just kiddin'...) -


- And then it was time to go back to Amsterdam -


- Goodby boring Ede. It was okay to see you again. But I love my parents who are still living in this lil-nothing-special-to-do-getting-bored-and-getting-violent-very-easily-town and it was good to see them again. -


- Hello Amsterdam. I love you. -

Cousin in Amsterdam

My cousin from Doetinchem (a place, waaay back in the east of The Netherlands) came to visit me in Amsterdam. And of course I had to show him around town!

Well...here are a few pics I made tonight!

Well, me and my sister are going to visit our parents tomorrow...'cause it's Christmas!
Happy Holidays to all of you...!

Karl Lagerfeld likes their music. (Picture by The Sartorialist)

It's Glass Candy (Portland, Oregon, USA) y'all. With the very beautiful, sexy voiced Ida No and producer Johnny Jewel. I've been to their concert a few weeks ago in Amsterdam's 'Paradiso' club. Their music is a mixture of 'Electro-pop/Italo-Disco', if I'm correct...:) I've been constantly playing their album ('B/E/A/T/B/O/X') over and over again, ever since I got it...for free (they threw a bunch of CD's into the crowd!) at their concert.





Here, you can read an interview with them and also listen to a track called 'Miss Broadway'. Check it out.

And also listen to the track called 'Candy Castle', which they've mentioned in the interview. Just click on the 'play' symbol........haha.

Can you imagine those models walking down the catwalk in Karl Lagerfeld's designs while 'Candy Castle' is playing in the background...?

Wandering 'round the house.

Yesterday...,


- I was sitting on bed...and decided to take some pictures of my room -


- My sister was really nervous about today. Because she was going to the selection-day of an Art school here in Amsterdam. But she passed!!! And is now going to the next round. This little piece of drawing is about a Bird Of Paradise which is captured by something...I can't remember what those things are, around that black bird. -


- And this one is taken through my bedroom window -

yyellowbird

-created by Me!-

It's yyellowbird! Check out her work on her Flickr-page. I'm trying to create those bokeh-thingy's like she does. She always has these nice bokeh-lightnings on her pictures. Recently, I did it by accident...!!!

Papa & Mama in Ede-Wageningen

I went to visit my parents today in Ede.


- My dad kind of redecorated the living room -


- Ede-Wageningen. A quite important 'stop' here in The Netherlands -





- Empty platform! I always take the train when going all the way to the middle of The Netherlands, Gelderland. -


- Made by accident! -

Lykke Li - Live @ Paradiso - Amsterdam - dec. 6th - saturday - 1am

Awww, last saturday I was at Lykke Li's nightconcert at Paradiso.


- Lykke and the smoke machine -


- The lights were off, so that was the right moment for me to keep shooting. As they got brighter and brighter, they revealed a resting Lykke. -


- Swingin' Lykke -

I recorded the whole concert with a Micromemo, but most of the time it was (as expected) not really good. A lot of distortion.

But here's small clip of one of my favorite Lykke Li songs: Everybody but me.
(Thanks to The Man...'s blog I got me a flash mp3 player as well. Hahaha...)

The House Of Viktor & Rolf

Illegal shit right here, baby!

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post this picture because it's an official press picture made by 'Blommers en Schumm'. I don't want to post other peoples work on my blog but I received this picture in my mailbox at work from the Centraal Museum in Utrecht where you can check out the exhibition of 'The House Of Viktor & Rolf'. And I just thought this was a cool picture!



- Viktor & Rolf and their porcelain dolls -

I will post my own work later this weekend. Hold tight!! It's coming!

Rear Window

Yesterday I was watching 'Rear Window'. But, about a week ago I was being James Stewart and then I got behind the computer and made this creation. As if I knew I was going to watch the movie a week later...it's like...looking into the future. Most of the time it's the other way around. You see something and then you get inspired. Uhhh, yes...!!

I like these Bokeh shizzles. Those blurry (mostly round) thingy's in pictures / movieshots.
