{Holiday memory from France}
Art in the Home of Akkie Bosje
A: Art makes me…
Think. It touches and inspires.
{Telephonecards by VANDEJONG}
R: Reading books / blogs / magazines …
There’s is no day without reading. Every book, article or blog is a journey into a new world. Amongst my favourite writers are Martin Bril, Toon Tellegen, Herman van Veen and the grand old lady Hella S. Haasse. Reading blogs is a journey a day, very inspiring. It replaced most magazines.
Favourites; Darling Clementine, Swiss Miss, Nordic Design, Design Observer and Wilfried de Jong. (I’m a huge sports watcher)……………. READ MORE>>>

T: Trends I see in art or graphic design are… On the one hand graphic design is becoming more an strategic art-form, on the other hand there is a kind of revival of the old days (letterpress typography, arts and crafts). It is a great time were everything comes together at the internet. Love all the interaction possibilities. Amazing times.
{House of Cards by Charles and Ray Eames}
A: Artists I admire are… Charles and Ray Eames are still a great source of inspiration. I like the interesting diversity and concepts of Hella Jongerius and really like the athmosphere in the landscapes of painter/actor Jeroen Krabbé, also a great divers person.
{Schiphol by Raimond Wouda}
N: Never will I … Stop having a head full of ideas. ‘There’s never enough time to do all the nothing I want’ -Calvin and Hobbes
{Painting by Anne}
D: Dreams for my own work are about… In the near future I will finally start that blog and I hope to make a whole lot of new illustrations in new books, and maybe one day an exhibition.
