I Made Delft Blue Plates With Bic Ballpoint

For centuries, Delft blue ceramics showed an image of my country. From Japan to the USA, people got an iconic idea about the Nederlands, based on the illustrations and decorative elements on plates, vases, teacups and big tiletableaus. Winmills, tulips, seabattles,traditional folclore important events from long time ago. I decided to make a numbered series of plates inspired on contemporary times, in the same thrash doodle style as I did for the large tableaus I created for the Amsterdam skatepark ( see previous post!), with the blue bic balpoint offcourse (-: Now we see gabbers, drugwaist, batsoup and lots and lots of little detailed Eastereggs. To really appreciate them you have to see them for real,send me a dm if interested, for now there are these pictures, enjoy!

As a professional artist I work mostly in the field of public art .
In my eclectic work I like to fuse the old and the new, make crossovers between styles, times and topics. Crossover is my middlename, I don't like to be labeled a single genre or subcultre, I try to defy those rules.
I love the multimedium that a computer is as a tool and combine 3d graphics, printing, cnc waterjet techniques with oldschool materials and media such as mozaik and Delft Blue tiles.

My most wellknown work is the ceiling of the Markthal in Rotterdam, a 2 soccerfield wide 3d rendering echoing the Sisteen Chappel.
