Here you van find a selection of brand identities and logo designs I created for clients. I believe that the key to a strong overall brand identity should be a well considered, relevant and recognisable logo.

Below you can find a selection of logos that I created for a variety of clients ranging from trainers, contracting companies, artist management agencies to interior designers, delicacy importers and cultural spaces.

I prefer to show these designs in mono to highlight their basic aesthetic. You can view the development of some of these project at their individual project page.

Some Quality Meat is a directory for high quality tattoo inspiration and culture. It’s an everlasting endeavour into curating the world’s most beautiful tattoos and quality artists. Every week they present a few artists through their astonishing work or unique perspective in this field. Through this they strive to elevate and supports the progression and quality of the tattoo art form.

They asked me to collaborate with them on a series about tattoo craftsman. Before I started producing this series I got involved in the development of their brand film and soon also with the design for their new website directory. Eventually this collaboration evolved in a partnership with me as the new art director for their brand.

For the brand film I worked with a lot of great and talented people like Michel Wongsomenawi, Taufiq Hosen, Dhani Rahmawan and many others. Also for the technical realisation we had a great collaboration with the young and talented guy's from Wittig.

Check out the fully working site at http://www.somequalitymeat.com and create your own tattoo inspiration stream. Creating your own tattoo inspiration stream and sharing your inspiration with your friends through social media are one of the many features this new directory offers. See for your self!

I made this series for the Zomer Expo '012 exhibition, which focused their theme on love. It symbolizes and portraits the nature of intertwined love. The artworks consist out of a stretchable textile print, which is covered by transparen guitar strings that are connected to pegheads. The pegheads & string represent the way that people tune themselves towards each other in a relationship.

The images itself portrait the deeply rooted emotions on which a relationship is based. The image in the tryptic shows the struggle for individuality and both unity at the same time. (Images will follow)

For my graduation project named “Oracle” I made an interactive sculpture that reacts on the presence of its audience. It tries to incorporate the audience into the work of art by tracking a member of the audience and projecting them with video. The sculpture follows the participant’s movements and keeps projecting video until they are out of its range, forcing the participant to be part of the artwork. The sculpture becomes the artist; the participant becomes its canvas.

In the process of developing this sculpture I made several small projects that focused on incorporating the audience into the artwork. All these project(s) involved different techniques and mediums and were based on the Arduino microcontroller and a variety of sensors.

I was asked to do the book design of a thesis about synergy in art. I designed the cover illustration and did the rest of the layout throughout the book. The thesis is produced in a circulation of 20 prints, each numbered and can be bought with a hard-cover or soft-cover.

With this exhibition I explored the collaboration between me and other people, art and culture. This collaboration makes it sometimes hard to see my role in these relationships and what the connection between my artwork and me is and was. It are these relations, which also define my art its social context and value. It opens my work up for new impulses and stimulates me to explore my feelings, emotions and connections to other people and societies in relation to art as a catalyst.This concept also depicts for me the ultimate example of modern art today; who is the artist and when is it autonomous?

In Contact Lens I tried to explore and develop this relationship. By making contact through my lens with this new culture, country and society I try to learn more about me as a facilitator. A facilitator between my relationships and the way art communicates these relationships. I tried to focus on the contact that characterizes this relation and the contact it has with its context.
