portrethokje at community festival Gerstakker Schiedam

Spent a lovely sunny day yesterday drawing visitors of a community festival in Schiedam with my portrait booth.
Ended up doing around 60 drawings, a lot of them, but not all, can be seen in my flickr stream.
Did I draw and photograph you or your child, and you don't see the photo? feel free to send me a message, and I will look through my photo's to find you!

[dutch] Gisteren een mooie zonnige dag getekend met het portrethokje voor het buurtfestival op de gerstakker in Schiedam. Ik heb uiteindelijk zo'n 60 portretten getekend, waarvan er een aantal op mijn flickr stream staan.
Heb ik u of uw kind getekend en gefotografeerd, maar ziet u de foto niet, stuur me dan een bericht en ik zal proberen uw foto te vinden en op te sturen!

cassette tape mold-making

I predict there will be cassette-tape shaped SOAP in the near future in some shops in Rotterdam. 

Had this idea but threw all my old tapes in the garbage  a few years ago when I had to move. Good friend tinyloops still had his complete selection and gave me one. Lubricated the tape with some liquid soap and pressed it into black silicone. Hoping for the best now. I will let it dry for as long as I can wait, patience is not my virtue.
Also watch the recycled container ;-) it came with cakes in it...
