Exhibition: Fred & Guus Pop Up Gallery coming up!

My favourite art business in Utrecht is opening up shop!

 

Fred&Guus is dedicated to exhibiting and selling art from Utrecht. Especially/ also making way for the artist with a psychiatric background. As someone who has worked in psychiatry for almost a decade of course this speaks to me very loudly!

 

They’ve asked me to join in on their shop adventure, selling my graphical prints: the not-so-perfect-people prints and Mr Robot in their “Pop Up Gallery” (“pop” = Dutch for doll, hence the cool flyer ;)).

Workshops drawing comics

Accompanying the comic drawing contest me and Edith-made-it gave a workshop at youth center De Valk in Amsterdam-Noord.

The workshop began with an exercise: to finish a little comic strip.

Each child draws a picture, passes it to the child next to him/ her and then to a third one, that finishes  the comic. Below some examples and some pictures of the intensive labour that was going on!
