Poster for the Open day at a group of schools in Meppel, in the Netherlands.
Design and illustrations for a special edition dvd case/poster of the film The Crisis and Us, by Johan Kramer.
The film depicts a series of made up stories narrated on top of super 8 films that Johan made during a few years. The stories talk about the lives of the people who appear in the shot, unaware that they are being filmed, sometimes talking on the phone, smoking a cigarette, or doing whatever they are doing. They are all connected in a way or the other with the idea of Crisis.

I was invited by the Art Directors Club Netherlands to create a piece to be featured as a cover of the Yearbook of Advertising and Design, together with other 11 creatives from different fields.
I decided to create a handmade sculpture with acrylic painted textured paper and wood as a visual representation of the motto “What you nurture grows”, a reminder to keep things close to our hearts, to be spontaneous, work with our hands and to keep things simple.
Art directed by Marcel Kampman who also wrote about it on Medium.
Book design and illustration for a unique elderly holiday home in the Netherlands with a very sweet approach and attention to the needs of the third age.
The idea was to create a clear parallel between the holidays of a younger person and an older one. At Strandgoed, they are not so different after all.

Johan Kramer and his daughter Lila Shu (11 yr old) worked together on a special personal project. They visited her 10 favourite children's book writers in holland, interviewed (she did) and photographed them in their work spaces (he did).
Interviews and photos were brought together in a small book filled with tips on how to write well, and what snacks to eat when writing, illustrations and Lila's handwritten comments about the visits (she mentions for example that one of the writer's dog farted a lot).
Johan's portraits were exhibited at the Kunsthal Rotterdam surrounded by a handwritten mural telling the story of the project.
Short advertising film for Tally-Ho, a dutch shop selling women's clothing, displayed at one of the oldest movie cinemas in Amsterdam, The Movies, which is just around the corner from Tally-Ho's Amsterdam shop.
