Television commercial of Dutch cable tv provider Ziggo. At this moment, there are two different versions, each with a famous Dutch personality discribing his or her favorite tv night. In this one Leo Beenhakker (world famous football/soccer coatch) talks about his favorite night watching "a good war movie, some tennis, and Animal Planet. Great concept! Enjoy!
Respect to Tesla, who have displayed a wonderfully smart piece of market insight. Toyota started the trend with the horribly ugly Prius and quickly the ostentatious rich and famous jumped the parade showing their undoubtedly sincere environmental concern and, well, fashionability.
But despite the self fulfilling nature of owning a Prius, a Toyota is not really a car for the rich and/or famous. It's not even a Lexus...
Enter the Tesla Motors company with their first model, an all electric sports roadster, surprisingly named "Roadster". Which is not bad looking at all, especially considering the looks of the Prius. Not a cheap car by miles, going at close to $100.000. Speeding up to 100km/h (60mph) in just 4 seconds, which means it can measure up to a whole bunch of roadsters and sports cars out there which are in the same price range. The same goes for the even better looking Model S as it is named, which is a real looker if you ask me. Going at around $50.000 and racing up to 100km/h in just 6 seconds.
Anyways, time to make my point. Tesla very smartly saw that the people who were likely to buy these trendsetting vehicles, at least in this point of time, will be the financially prosperous. Those whose mode of transportation will be documented in tabloids and that need conversation topics when they're at their country club. And face it, it'll be a whole lot more fun to show off your Roadster or Model S than your Prius.
Design I did a while ago, thought it would be interesting to post it with the cut from Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas with Johnny Depp and Benicio Del Toro. Still not sure about the title, call it "Can't Stop" or just "Bat Country" haha.
And some Death Kennedys from the soundtrack with shots from the movie:
Trying out Twitterfeed because I never have anything much to share in mini-blogs on Twitter, figured it would be useful to have something that automatically links my blog posts on Twitter. So consider this just a test to see if it works.
Another Clique event! If you're in San José, go check it out!
Had some fun with this one in particular. Tried to emulate one of the first designs I ever did that (in my opinion) led up to my usual "style" I have these days.
Blogspot is pissing me off lately. When uploading images you can choose if you want a medium, small or large version in your post. Sometimes when I select large, it is shrunk down to maybe 100 pixels wide, then at other times when also selecting large it appears so large it even goes behind the boundaries of the blog.
I wish I could figure Wordpress out, but I'm a complete html-and-other-web-stuff-o-phobe
Beautiful design by Eric Carl. I only just found out about his work, but it's very inspiring. Have a look at his website!
Durign the 60s and 70s some football clubs featured beautiful crests. Some of these crests still survive today, while sadly, others have been replaced.
One example, which is not that famous is from a Portuguese lower division club Academica:
I might dig around and try find some more to make it more interesting.
Another event in San José. Big Bang at B4 Twelve. As always, check it out if you're out there! Bit of a retro comic book superhero/villain look on this one.
Design for the Visual Fixation event at Fahreheit Ultralounge in San José, CA. If you're in the area, check it out!
Queensday and Queensnight in the Netherlands is a great event. This year's celebration was overshadowed by a frustrated person trying to drive his car into the Queen, failing and instead killing 8 innocent spectators to the Queen's parade.
Self portraits are so self indulgent.
Just two Soulwax remixes. These Belgian guys also know as 2 Many DJ's are one of my favorite remixers/dj's out there. It's insane what they can do to pretty much any kind of music. Enjoy!
The Rolling Stones - You Can't Always Get What You Want (Soulwax Remix)
MGMT - Kids (Soulwax Remix)
