Me
I studied Fine Arts at what's now called ArtEZ Hogeschool voor de Kunsten in Kampen (now Zwolle), The Netherlands. They say an art study makes you an artist. Maybe they're right. I do paint and I design stuff. Does that make me an artist? Much of my inspiration comes from old punkrock flyers, worn paper and fabrics, broken stuff. I like my work to look unfinished, undesigned. Design by accident.
(...)I didn’t study graphic design. I left the design department after six months because the teachers (and students) there were too bound to rules in my opinion. Especially typography rules. As you may know a lot of Dutch designers and therefore design teachers are heavily influenced by the ‘less is more’ principle. Well, that’s not my cup of tea.
