iPhun



Well, a guy alone in bed all day long got to have something on the side when he is bored from watching television. So I downloaded this great little iPhone App which allows you to draw in a very simple way. Big fingers are no help, so don't expect miracles. Still, some are fun to show. So here's my collection of drawings I did over the last two days. Recognize anyone?

I really enjoy it, so I will dust off my paint and brushes soon and do some real painting again, which I haven't done in years.

I am not really into blond guys in general, but when I saw this shoot of Joshua Delos from Specimen Model Management by David Arnot I think I can change my mind! (imagesource Tres Fab Sweetie)





Barcode



57 years ago the barcode as we know it was invented (you probably were aware already if you used google today). It wasn't untill 1974 before it was used, so basically the barcode turned 35 today! I am only a few weeks younger than the barcode. I will turn 35 in november. Maybe that explains my fascination for the barcode. I used it a lot in my graphic designs and did a presentation about the barcode and how you can use it into design when I was studying.

I also wanted a barcode as a tattoo for years. But then I find out that a) it became a little tacky and b) I was told by a tattoo artist that it is one of the most difficult tattoos to do. Instead of the steady tattoo I bought myself a stamp-tattoo some years ago on the FAMOUS french night market in Piégros-la-Clastre.

Victor & Rolf S/S 2010



Victor & Rolf presented their new collection for the spring/summer season 2010 in Paris this week. I don't blog about fashion a lot, so maybe it's my dutch pride, but I absolutely fell in love with these dresses!

This Used to be My Playground



Yes. between 1987 and 1994 this was my playground. My old highschool was open for public today, so me, my sister and our good friend went there to see what happened to that place. And although many things had changed, a lot of it was still the same. Looking the same and even smelling the same.

We met some old teachers as well. Amongst them my maths-teacher, who recognized me and then turned his back on me because of the last words I said to him back in 1994. Okay, they were not nice, but when you shake hands 15 years later, be a man and laugh about it. I know I did.

Tonight is the "once every five years reunion" which I don't attend. The people I really liked I still see, so never understood the meaning of a reunion. I don't see this people anymore because we didn't connect. And I also don't feel like being in a big room filled with fat mommies who only go there to show their babies. breastfeeding them in places where they got screwed 20 years ago. But is sure was fun taking that trip down memory lane today!
