Creative workshops this summer

A while ago, a good friend of mine, who's a ceramist, Françoise Busin, proposed to do a workshop together this summer. She has organized several ceramist workshops before in the south of France, a place for ceramists. She asked if i could give a drawing workshop and a watercolor painting workshop. Because I love drawing and painting i agreed to help with the program and the lectures of the workshop. We also invited, my sister Sarah to give a workshop on sewing and making clothes and accessories, she has made her own clothing & accessories label Hummingbird and Bumblebee - that is now active as B is for Bird. So in the end, we decided to make it an allround creative workshop. The place where the workshop will be held is Russeignies, a tiny little village in the french part of Belgium, near from where i live.

Free de Ronde sketchpaper

Next sunday, 3th of april, a big Flemish cycling tour will visit our town here. That tour is called "De Ronde van Vlaanderen", it's a bit a "Tour de France" for Flanders. Big cycling superhero's will be in this tour. The reason why i like this tour is because it's a Flemish tour that passes really beautiful corners of Flanders. You can watch the complete route here on the website of Ronde van Vlaanderen.

Interview with artist Benoît van Innis

One of the websites I made in the spring of 2009 was for a Belgian contemporary artist/painter/illustrator and friend of mine, Benoît van Innis. His website is a portfolio of his artworks and projects. Recently, I did an interview with Benoît, asking about his work method and the things inspiring him. The interview was done in Dutch but i'm translating it to English. (I’m not a native English speaker, I appreciate your correction/comment)

Hopper’s quiet realism

I have a few art books and every time I see the Edward Hopper book, i cannot resist to open it and start looking and reading about his paintings. Although Edward Hopper lived from 1882 till 1967, his work looks still very "modern". He is known for his quiet and silent realism but I think he reveals a very strange and honest beauty in the everyday objects and lives.
