Being a ‘junior’ illustrator I know there are strong (online) forces pulling at you every day, I know about feeling the urge to be everywhere all the time and constantly putting yourself out there to get your work to be picked up by people. It takes a lot of courage to unplug in these fast times!

Etsy Open

Maybe you have already heard me shouting it out on facebook:

Etsy NL is opening their doors in september!

They will be doing this in collaboration with Open | makers on the market.

This month Dutch Etsy entrepeneurs can be found in a cute pop-up store in Leiden, where we will sell our stuff, and give workshops.

Definitely worth a visit (eg to find delicate, simple lamps by Studio Snowpuppe, upcycled design by Babongo, and the coolest illustrations by Marloes Kroeze and the always admired Kim Welling). It’s a wonderful chance to get acquainted with the Etsy community outside the digital highways.

Come and meet me there!

Souvenir

A little texty souvenir that I brought home from the amazing Gulbenkian in Lisbon.

Make sure you click the first picture to enlarge it, and to be able to read the full story (and maybe the zoom function on your compu too?). I couldn’t find a personal website, but check out Joao Penalva if he ever has an exhibition near you.
