1.000.000 Dots

About

For this project i will draw 1.000.000 dots hand by hand, one by one. My first goal was to make very clean in rows dots but that was giving me to much stress, as the project progresses i learn to let go and adapt certain "faults" and that's giving me much freedom. In my personal life i am a bit of a control freak and this project helping me giving insights in my way ot thinking and my self made up rules that's giving me that restless feelings. I really start to enjoy this project more and more!. Last update on 28-2-2024 with 156805 dots made and 111 works made. Also these works will be on an exhibition later this year!.
For now there are some pictures on my Instagram, a proper website wil follow.


.....Leaf blog.....

About

Every leaf is an artwork and i want to share my findings. I walk daily and on my way i like to walk in nature. Did you know that a big tree can contain up to +-250.00 leaves!. Most leaves that i post are findings from the day or the day before, when there to long in my house they start to get very dry and they fall apart. All the leafs are scanned with my Epson Perfection V37 and the bigger leafs with my Mustek P3600 A3 scanner.


.....I am just standing.....

About

I just take a picture of myself. This project will be ended when i am dead. The goal is to see the progress in style of clothing, the aging process and the overall composition of the photo. The idea is very simple, first i try to find a nice background for the photo and then i set the self timer of the camera to 10 seconds. Then i take 3 steps from the camera and thats it. I have mounted a mini tripod on the back of my bike so it's easy and fast for me to take a picture, also i carry a tripod with me for the place where i can't use my bike. As the project was in progress within the first few weeks i thought this is a pretty fun project because it seems to be a nice idea to do this till the day that i will die..
