I love this drawing. It is made by Juul Kraijer.

Babette Wagenvoort is an artist who make's daily diary drawings, then she places them on her site. She describs how she makes them:

Making A Diary Drawing According To A Rectilinear Personality:

(please try)

- get piece of paper & a pencil

- sit down at the table

- pick up pencil and put paper in front of you

- concentrate on the empty page in front of you

- think about your life today

- what did you see, hear, feel, say

- draw

- be honest

- don't try to impress anyone

- don't use any text

- when finished add date and signature

After taking a week off to catch up on everything still lying on that pile, it's quite difficult to get started up again. In an hour I 'm off to my new studio to get some work done.

Have you ever come across an artis's work that you wished you made yourself? Well this week I came bumped in to Tara Donovan's work. If you see it you will know what I mean.....

Yesterday is was walking on the Albert Cuyp market in Amsterdam, when I spotted a new shop - The Sid Lee Collective.

The walls are painted with blackboard paint and beautiful  illustations fill the walls. 

The artist group - Team Macho- have their work on show and  in the middle of the space a table with artists books makes you want to spent hours looking in all of them.

Portrait Team Macho.

Katja Prins

Lars F. Nieuwenhuizen (www.dwarsart.com) brought my attention on the work of Katja Prins. She is a contemporary jeweler who is intrigued by the ever increasing interaction between the human body and the seemingly unlimited possibilities of modern technology. I love the jeweley made with glass (2005), the human shapes and the hardness of technology. These elements seem to work together to form a new working whole.
