ANTWERP (ANIMATION)

Made an animated gif to show my love for my hometown, Antwerp. An inspiring, artistic cosmopolitan city with a rich medieval history and big harbor.
The hand is a reference to the origin folk tale of the city where a Roman soldier called Brabo chopped off the hand of an evil giant that controlled the city and threw it in the river.

MAOW EXPO & LIVE DRAWING

I took part in the group exhibition Maow at La Vallée, St-Jans-Molenbeek (Brussels). Great collection of international artists in a cool old warehouse turned creative space. Did some live drawing and met some great people. You can watch a video of the event here.

CHARLEROI, PAYS NOIR - (ILLUSTRATION POSTER)

For the creative market event "6001 is the new 1060" in Charleroi, Belgium I made this poster.

"Le Pays Noir" is French for "The Black Country" which is a reference to the coal industry that made the region very successful in the 19th and 20th century before its downfall. Nowadays there are almost only abandoned factories. It is now a very poor place and even voted "Ugliest City in the World". A group of artists sees huge potential and organises a creative market once or twice a year. For the second time I took part in it and had a blast. So much energy, so many cool artists and wonderful people.
