Art I Heart - O! Mythology!

Andromeda is the daughter of Cepheus - an Aethiopian king - and Cassiopeia. When Cassiopeia's hubris leads her to boast that Andromeda is more beautiful than the Neireids, Poseidon sends a sea monster to ravage Aethiopia. Andromeda is chained to a rock as a sacrifice to sate the monster, but is saved from death by Perseus, her future husband.

O. How I love Greek mythology.

    Andromeda, Gustave Dore, 1869.

Art I Heart - Fifi Lapin

So I stumbled upon this cute little rabbit, Fifi Lapin, always dressed in the latest fashion or some haute couture. 

                                                       Fifi Lapin wearing Giles.

This is what people wrote about Fifi in the press:, it sounds quite promising!

               'The world's most stylish bunny' Elle  'An unlikely - but powerful - fashion force' Vogue

                                                  Fifi and orange sunglasses.

There is also a book and I you can take a sneak peak inside here!

But I am particularly loving this print, of course:

            Fifi Lapin as a little clown.

Wishing I was this rabbit...

First blog post - About Me

While growing up I was always busy with painting, drawing, writing or restyling my room.  I performed in several theatrical performances and even designed the costumes and the scenery. It was a way to document my life. It was no surprise I went to the art academy to study Theatre Design. But before that I studied Writing for Performance in Utrecht. Living on my own for the very first time was a whole different story. For some time I lost myself into it because life had to be grand and compelling. 

The desire for breaking boundaries and then wander around is also a theme in my work and daily life. Or so I say: 'I collect experiences.' My mind is always on High Definition, always busy with something. You could say I am somewhat chaotic.
I just love to be playful. I like to color outside the lines.

I want to have intense feelings. Experience life. I can love someone for one night, or, love life, actually. I use my imagination en try to care for wonder. Life is one great adventure, so... 
Let's make some new memories! 

Adventurer. Hippie. Diary writer. Feminist. 
Voyeuristic photographer. Bohemien. 
A designer with recurring primal dreams. 
That's me.

Maybe someday I will whisper the details in your ear.
