Mijn nieuwe visitekaartje en Fiverr
Met trots laat ik mijn nieuwe Whiteboxliving-visitekaartje aan je zien. Best gaaf, toch? Het is ontworpen door een jonge grafisch ontwerper uit Colombia. En hiermee introduceer ik ook Fiverr aan je. Fiverr is een marktplaats voor diensten. Oprichter Micha Kaufman legt het als volgt uit: “Wat uniek is aan Fiverr’s aanpak, is dat het de enige marktplaats online is die diensten als een product aanbiedt. Het gaat niet om het ...
It’s a small world
Okay, I admit it; I’m a lover of miniature worlds. And I’m not going to use this blog post to analyse this extensively. Nor showing you pictures of my huge train collection. Insert chuckle here. I’m probably a hopeless romantic that wants to escape into small worlds now and then. Let’s just leave it at that. I am, however, going to use this post to introduce to you two artists that have embraced small worlds or ...
One day trip Dusseldorf
Just a quick post about my recent visit to Dusseldorf. The weather wasn’t ideal for taking pictures. But to give you an idea, here are some snapshots I took while wandering through Dusseldorf. Enjoy and thanks for stopping by. PS: You can find me on Bloglovin ...
Markthal Rotterdam
Stockholm, Barcelona, Valencia, Copenhagen. Almost every large city has one: an indoor food market. And since October 2014 we can add Rotterdam to this list with the ‘Markthal’ (Market Hall). A lively market hall, which is bursting at the seams with fresh fish, warm bread, tender meat, countless different cheeses and freshly harvested vegetables. A wonderful experience, go and see it, full stop. Shopping, ...
Fast forward to spring
Once the holidays are over I would like it to be spring immediately. I don't care for cold weather or waiting for enough frozen lakes and canals to have a skating tour. Fast forward to spring I say. The harsh reality ensures endlessly looking at houses in sunnier places. Gazing jealously at people who’re having their coffee on a sunny terrace. Photographer Brian Ferry One of the latest blog posts of ...
Bjorn Wiinblad’s new collection
To my surprise, last autumn the work of cheerful multi-artist Bjorn Wiinblad entered a new chapter; the presentation of an entire new collection. The recreation contains 47 new pieces, all with original work by Bjorn Wiinblad. Unfortunately the products are only available in Denmark, but from autumn 2015 they will also be available in Norway, Sweden and maybe Germany and Finland. Fairy tale For those of you who ...

According to his publisher, Mister Braun travelled around the globe to study animals up close. Well... it paid off.

London
I had some amazing days in London. Absolute highlight was the Kate Bush concert on Friday night. Before that we visited the Saatchi Gallery where they’re showing new art from Africa and Latin America. A must see! The hundreds of ants that have taken over gallery one are simply fascinating with their bodies composed of cast human skulls. Have lunch or a drink at the Shard We had lunch with a view at the Shard on the ...
Street Art | Volume 1
I've been clearing my clutter and it’s kind of addictive. First up were my drawers and cupboards, next my digital files. Glancing through pictures of forgotten moments takes time, a lot of time. Not to mention the large quantities of coffee, laughs and tears. On a more positive note: I've gathered some pictures of street art that I took over the years and didn't publish yet on my blog. I think this will become a series. ...
Townhouse in Landskrono by Elding Oscarson
Now this is what I call ‘whiteboxliving’. It’s a house in Sweden but considering the architecture it might as well be in Japan. Still, it seems a bold decision, sandwiching a ‘white box’ between very old Swedish townhouses. However, the street is actually filled with different architectural styles and they just added one I suppose. Of course they aimed to create a razor sharp contrast. According to the architect: ...
