Sad, but true. The flickr posts of chicks in bikini get more views than the pics of packs o’ cigarettes. I guess Mtv finally got it’s way. Crazy thing is that people who listen to mainstream hip hop music and do not smoke but do like the cliche music video’s still seem to think of themselves as more rebellious than the real rebels that smoke their lungs to raisin size and listen to country. What a sad world, even more ‘cause they got to me too. I’m awfully close to celebrating my 3 year anniversary of not smoking and all tho society keeps telling me that’s something to be proud off, I personally think it is a load of bullshit. Smoking is cool and nice too. 

oh and it’s sexy and keeps you thin too someone wanted me to write….

While in the midst of working on my recipe for a polynesian popcast illustration, i stumbled upon this masterpiece:Typee by Herman Melville . 

Ready for download,  it does not include any of the chicken recipes i was looking for but will leave you mouth watering for a more exciting life than you have right now.

a poster and a wedding invitation, both on flickr. The wedding invite is hand silkscreen printed by supershirt, and turned out great!

In other people’s words: awesome! 

Aloha aloha aloha

It’s been a while. It’s been extremely busy.After not having anything to do for a while in which period i made myself useful with drawing and posting things on flickr, I all of a sudden had these weeks where everything happened at the same time.We (andre maat and me) just finished the new kraak en smaak video, called "squeeze me". It turned out pretty cool even tho we had major trouble making it. We used a Red camera and thanks to all kinds of technical difficulties and not being familiar with this new kind of workflow yet, we fell behind quite a bit.Thankfully everyone kept their heads up and finally last friday night it was finished. To celebrate the non sleeping nights, the underfeeding and the overload on coffee, we went to a bar and got drunk immediately after, resulting in the rest of the weekend feeling like a zombie:-) I’m sure the pitchers of margarita’s on the night after didnt help that. Anyway, as we all know good things come in pairs (i believe), but what i didnt know is that bad things come in shitloads. While we were having those major issues during the video, someone stole my bike, I lost about 400 pictures on my camera, i crashed my car into the side of another car, malcolm’s bad eye is getting worse and we were kicked out of our house. Well, technically we are being kicked out september 1st, but anyone living in amsterdam knows that it is retardedly difficult to find a place here. So if anyone finds my bike,(green with a black crate) or a new house for me and my lovely girlfriend and dog, please do tell! Or if you can hook me up with some cool jobs in New York city or San Francisco for a couple months, you’re also more than welcome to please do tell. I used to be a great Schooly D fan, in fact i might say he’s still one of my favorite oldschool rappers.(please note how oldschool is written as oldschool as opposed to oldskool which is a rather newschool way)But a while ago i found myself rhyming along out loud to his "I don’t like rock n’ roll" and looked at myself as the Jack Daniels and rock music  loving creature that i am, I finally realized what he meant. It has nothing to do with music, not even with lifestyle. It’s only about fake and bullshit people, wannabees and posers.So for today at least i’m keeping it real, with Mai Tai in hand. Who knows what opinion I’ll have by tomorrow.
