lamb and tip

Today I walked in the Biesbosch, during this walk we saw a lot of sheeps and lambs.
I like to photograph animals, because they are so patient and seem to don't mind.
I would love to photograph people too: streetphotography, because you see so many interesting characters out there. But I don't have the right attitude for that, I'm too shy.

Here's a tip for a short movie about Bruce Gilden He does have a very cheeky attitude, It's funny and he makes very interesting pictures, but as I said, he's very cheeky.

Bokito

It's almost 4 years ago now, Bokito escaped from his cage in the Rotterdam Zoo.
He attacked a woman who had challenged him for weeks. Bokito got very angry and jumped over the water to grab this woman. Every time I see him I must think of this fascinating story and imagine angry wild Bokito runs around in our Zoo. He has a new cage now, behind glass. You can see the story about his escape here

red cheeks factory

This week I started with the second pika bootcamp:
how to survive and thrive as an artist online
the first assignment is to make up a name, an avatar and a banner for a possible shop.
So this is the birth of 'red cheeks factory'

And here are some banners I made, any suggestions which you like the most?
I hope to make a red cheeks factory website soon!

This was the last assignment of the pika artist bootcamp
It was a very inspiring and challenging course.

chairs

This weeks assignment was about chairs, which chair represents your personality, so the whole week I had chairs in my mind, never thought it was interesting to think about chairs, but it was, one chair was not enough for me :-) I also found a special art-chair-blog with pictures of all kind of chairs.
