Stephin Merrit - The Man Of A Million Faces

Stephin Merrit, of the Magnetic Fields and the Gothic Archies, is really one of the best singers and songwriters and music makers ever. In my opinion anyway.


I just wanted to show you this video, it's a song that he thought up and made in one day for some project.

Painting: Heart

Done in coloured inks (ecoline).

Elf Fantasy Fair, Arcen, NL

Last Sunday was the Elf Fantasy Fair in Arcen. At Saturday I was trying to come up with some nice make-up and outfit, here's a few pictures of the result! (some taken on Saturday, some taken on Sunday :)) All photographs are unedited.

Inspiration: Kobi-Levi Footwear

These wearable sculptures by Kobi-Levi Footwear are nothing less than marvelous. How this makes me wish I could walk on heels this high and have money. That, or have the skills and tools to make my own shoes, haha.

Some favourites:

Inspiration: The 50 Most Stunning Wall Murals

I found this link somewhere, it's an article about the 50 most stunning wall murals all over the world. It's so good to know and to see again that not every graffiti is a stupid signature to show off to their friends how brave they were. I wish we had things like these in my town!!

Although it's very hard to choose, these are my favourites:)

Inspiring Bin Bags & Flower Grenades

Aren't these bin bags great? Or these Flower Grenades? Throw and grow!

School

Over at http://ingevandenbroek.blogspot.com/ I'm active again, blogging in dutch about what I do on/for school.I wish I had more time for other things, since I really would like to fill my portfolio/my website better and I need to post a lot of sketches, and my webshop could REALLY use some promoting. And more items of course. I wish I would just sell something.. I don't know what's wrong with it, except that no-one knows about it and that it's on DaWanda, and although there are a lot of people on the website, I think much less people know about it compared to other websites. I dunno. I need to promote my stuff, but that's something that's reall really hard for me to do... We'll see.

Breda

I had a great day in Breda today shopping with my mum :)

Here's the view from the place where we parked, isn't it lovely? The weather was very good, too!
