Quark Xpress: Banned Books Week
A series of posters that aim to generate interest for the annual Banned Books Week. It's astounding how many books were banned from libraries and schools once, and even up to this day.
These posters were made for a school assignment and are in no way endorsed or sanctioned by Schlow Centre Region Library or its employees. The logo and sponsor that appear on them were solely used as part of the assignment.

From the vaults III
Inside the box, Pencil, crayon and watercolour on paper 1995
A city with nine gates as described by Marco Polo. Pencil and Conte crayon on paper, 1995
Above: These were assignment pieces done at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie during the orientation year.
One of my first paintings in elementary school, even though I was already considered to have a flair for drawing and painting. We were doing a class project where everyone had to paint a clown. The teacher asked me to draw an example clown for the rest of the class on the blackboard. I drew a typical clown with a brightly painted face, red curly hair etc. As the entire class set out to do their version of my example, I surprised everyone by painting this understated sad clown and forever cemented my reputation as the odd guy out.
Above: These were done in drawing class in Highschool
Ritual Palm Mask, vacation project Almeria july 1997 mixed media
Ritual Palm Mask, vacation project Almeria july 1997 mixed media
These masks were made on vacation in the far south of Spain, in the desert region of Almeria. It was very hot and dry during the day and there wasn't much to do. On the terrain around our vacation house were some old palm trees that had shed their leaves. The fallen palm leaves looked like tribal masks and that gave me the idea to actually turn them into real masks using basic tools, some paints and some found objects. The dried palm wood was extremely tough though, so there aren't many details. This small sketch was also made there:
