Woods

I went into the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I wanted... to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner and reduce it to its lowest terms.
Henry David Thoreau -

Courier

So I woke up in my old room, in my home town.
It always makes me smile to see everything. I wake up and for a moment its like I m ageless, I could have been any age waking up in that room. And my life in Amsterdam seems so far away.
Then I reach over to my night stand, grab any random sketchbook piled up over there and read the last pages. Those always have been the pages where I write down my thoughts. 
You know how when you were little everyone has a diary and that s cool. But when you reach a certain age , its just totally gay to have one. I secretly always kept one.
When I read the first sentence, I have an age again. I am there at the moment. Dude, it will be fine.

Some pictures of a 20 meter wall I did with my buddy Vacso Viscente

Fucking Vans

Guys guys! I bought my first pair of Vans.

Cant believe it took soo long to ever get one of those kind of shoes.(back-story: I've always only wore leather shoes for as long as I could remember. Until I started longboarding, but never wanted to spend too much money on my shoes cuz they get trashed after a month anyway.)

Its like you ve been drawing and photoshopping for ever with your mouse and then you bought your first wacom.

Not dead

Just suuper busy! Camera died , but got a new one in the meanwhile. Did a bunch of streetarts, still need to take some good photos of it.

The Whale

Shortmovie made in a suuper short time.
So many things could be done better, but I think its nice to keep it like this and start new short projects.
And boy o boy do I have ideas :)

If my hands are cold

I was just watching SATC episode about how many big loves you can have in one life time.
Loves that shake you to your core.
And that made me think about all the people around me and their lovers.
There are around 7 billion people in the world.
A lot of people I know are with someone of their own hometown or 30 km further away.
And they are so convinced that they will stay together for ever.
For ever
that word, I ve learned the hard way is not something you should just merge with an other human being . A memory, a feeling would be more suitable. I am very gratefull I have collected a lot of good ones already.
I dont know where I m heading at, but..
Sometimes it bothers me that some people wont dare to take a leap and go further.
They are all so caught up in their comfort zone, so scared to lose it and have to start all over again.
Comfort zone.. Maybe its me, but I dont feel like to go to that zone yet. It frightens me, I want more.
A lot of people just want to go and reach the top, they do everything by plan, so neatly planned out since they were little, they forget you can go other ways, you can go further instead of higher.
I feel like I have been in some safe cocoon for so long already, its time to take action, live!
By falling and getting up again, there are no wrong decisions, no wrong falls. You will keep on going forward , you will feel yourself grow, its amazing.
Try it sometimes

ps: nothing personal, just a thought.

Trigger Finger

Life is treating me very well thank you very much.
I hope for you too.

I did accidentally trew my cell phone in the wash machine though. I washed it together with my in the dark glowing spooks bed sheets.
To prevent any other unwanted accidents I fixed everything that I could fix that could go wrong.
Oil the lock of my bike, cuz I don't want my key to breake off again in my lock , fix the backthingy of my bike to prevent it from accidentally go into my wheel. And that all before it was even noon! Oh so proud of myself!
But what I have not counted on is the chain falling off part of course I m a pro at that now, but not when there is a stupid cast around it that I can't take off. So now I carry a silver knife everywhere so whenever that happens I can poke the chain until it gets back on.
Aah these are the days that I feel like a true Bear Grylls. Yeeaahh

Lay me down

Some doodles made at work from couple of months.
I know I write like a dude.
I remember back in high school when teachers didn't knew who s test it was, because I forgot to write my name on it. They just gave it to some random guy in my class.

And later on in college it went something like this



ok now the art stuff :)
