I was asked by the city of Deventer to think about my vision of Deventer in 2030 (as were nine other artists from Deventer). I decided to incorporate my label esc.rec. in this vision. For now you can read more on this temporary page (also in dutch). More info wil be added really soon. It’s going to be an exciting new project and release!

I’m very pleased to have been asked by Claire Bolt to design and build a complete interior for Bebolt, her new shop at Nieuwstraat 30, Deventer. She really liked the design I did for KunstGoud. Claire Bolt is a fashion designer (check out her Super Sonic Hoodie above) and her brand new shop opens on the 4th of October… that means I have to work hard to make the deadline!
I’m working on several new websites right now. For some of them I’m designing the whole thing, for others I’m just building as instructed. They’ll show up here when they’re finished.
A new esc.rec. release is currently in production. Number 21 already! This time it won’t be free like the last three esc.rec. releases and has quite elaborate artwork again. Apricot My Lady! A lot of other esc.rec. releases are in the pipeline, but more on that later…
And the next ass-crack stage-hack is also coming up. The 17th of October it’s time for ass-crack stage-hack #4, with three concerts by Machinefabriek, Soccer Committee, Jan & Romke Kleefstra and Wouter van Veldhoven. All this is preceded by a fabulous meal in the best ass-crack stage-hack tradition, prepared by Jean Klare, the amazing graphic designer cook. Really looking forward to this one!

I was asked by Guido de Vries of CBK Apeldoorn to organize and design an exhibition in August and September this year with my selection of visual artists from Apeldoorn. To be honest, I was a bit hesitant at first, since I didn’t really know any visual artists from Apeldoorn and I never curated an exhibition before, that wasn’t related to one of my own projects… But the opportunity was to good to pass up.
Because this exhibition is part of Triënnale Apeldoorn, I had to write the concept and title to match the overall Triënnale theme ‘Culture, Garden & Landscape’. The title I came up with is ‘Ontbos’ (Deforest). Mostly because it touches the Triënnale theme while leaving room for interpretation. Ontbos also hints to a selection process, cutting down a forrest to see the trees…
Quite a few really good artists responded to the call! I think I have selected an interesting group of visual artists for this exhibition and am now working on design (see picture above), coördination and publicity. With grand support by the people of CBK Apeldoorn, I might add! So far this assignment is as pleasurable as it is challenging… more updates will soon follow.

Release number 20 is here! Time to celebrate? Or was that at 25?
Anyway, A Ltd. Lion Pup is the debut of Yop, a very talented Rotterdam based singer/songwriter. It’s really quite a magnificent release. Yop is a skilled songcrafter, limiting the length of his songs to the bare essential. Compact beauty. And you can download it here for free (thank you Yop!).
In fact this is a re-release of Yop’s self released 2006 original, so you could be one of those people who have downloaded most of this release already, but this version holds a previously unreleased bonus track, that makes downloading it again worth your while. The main reason for this re-release is more exposure, because if anything A Ltd. Lion Pup deserves that!
Oh, and I added some reviews of the 2006 version overhere.
