On the Success of the Tulpi-seat
A nice publication in Get Connected - Economic Board Utrecht. How come the Tulpi-seats are such a huge international hit the journalist asked me: to start out with this is very good Industrial design, combine it with fun and social elements and you have a Dutch Design Award winner for the most original design. But most of all and most important: the users totally love it! Social design with a touch of flair that brightens up public spaces, you can't get any better!
Textile Design Team
This textile design team, Tesler & Mendelovitch, keeps popping up with their super interesting geometric wooden clutches/purses.... and rightly so...the designs look amazing!

Masterclass Barbara Stok CBK Groningen
Oh and how wonderful it was yesterday during the masterclass with cartoon/graphic artist Barbara Stok in the Centre for Visual Arts in Groningen (CBK). We presented our work, received feedback from Barbara and the other group members, and we of course also listened to Barbara's stories about her work (her latest book on Vincent van Gogh is doing really well internationally!). Credits photos: CBK Groningen: https://www.facebook.com/cbkgroningen. For more info about Barbara see also:

Super Happy!
Yesterday I received the news that I am selected for the Masterclass with my favorite Dutch cartoon artist Barbara Stok. Those interested were asked to send in a cartoon. I've been drawing a lot over the last few years, especially drawings with stories for toddlers. The visual here is just a little part of the cartoon. Super happy! http://www.cbkgroningen.nl/educatie/barbara-stok

Getting world cities ready for a more 'bicycle friendly' area would best be guided within 'transformational tools' like art and designplatforms. Stylepark features this project.. cool idea: "Do you like amazing art and design projects? Find more at Stylepark: www.stylepark.com/en/news — in Toronto, Ontario, Canada."
Redirectionsss
How does one adapt to the different directions we can take? Love this one : "After years of training as a professional ballet dancer artist Kylli Sparre made an abrupt course correction and decided to pursue conceptual photography. See the influence of dance in her surreal images:
