Flying nuns over Rotterdam

And now for something different. This clip is from a while ago. It came up again in my feed. Outsider-ish, uncategorisable music from Rotterdam's Harry Merry. The clip was made by my friend Marianne van Maaren, whom i gave some of my flying nuns to play with.

Local news

Working on a record sleeve. The lettering takes a lot of digital fiddling about before it starts to look right. I can have it done in full colour, but i think it's best to keep that on the minimal side as to avoid ruining the graphic approach it has sofar.

This is for a local music festival that takes place in my neighbourhood, always in the month of June; the organiser is a good friend. After several editions it's time for a collection of recordings!

die ärzte - Das finde ich gut

Okay, the super secret Totentanz-related project I mentioned a while ago is finally out. It's a music video for the german pop-punk band "die ärzte" and it's part of a larger conceptual framework in which the band members are hunted from one clip into the next, covering their whole new album "auch" which they actually put on youtube in it's entirety on the same day it was officially released.




I drew and animated the whole thing. As you can tell the song is about death.

P.S. Happy 180th Birthday, Wilhelm Busch! (For those who don't know, this blog is named after the fate of his most well-known characters, Max and Moritz.)

Sometime ago we do a paperzine, this year we do a digital one, including videos, music compilation and pdf zine. I was very glad to do my first LP cover, even if it's still digital stuff! I really hope I could do more in the future.

Check all things creeps, that's good tunes !

Army of God

I have been working on a record sleeve for the Amsterdam-based outfit Army Of God. It's kind of 1980s-styled wave (which I like). If that's up your alley, the main song can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8z9TTU9mF7A
The record should be out soon. I was given total artistic freedom (yay!), so I did a little twisting on the classic pieta.

This was painted on plastic, so the colours have a weird-looking structure. Okay, I also fiddled with the PS buttons a bit, but I kind of like working on materials that are not quite suitable. The little guys on the left and right are my hybrid version of Blemmyae and Panotti, enemies of the true faith.
