The great people from Frinton Press invited me to take part in their Wrapping Paper project.
16 artists were asked to submit a pattern design which was then hand screen printed and beautifully packed by Frinton Press.
Giving presents has never been more fun!

Lolitas from New York
When I first saw Rita Ackermann's work I was totally blown away by the power of her drawings. With much trouble I've been trying follow her work but she is a very elusive artist. Which makes the few things I find all the more wonderful.

animals are fighting back
The Ark is a project initiated by the argentinian design studio DGPH.
Find out more about their project here
Each artist was asked submit his version of a local animal. I chose the badger. Have you ever noticed how much a badger's head resembles a wrestling mask? Which made me think that although we should protect animals maybe they are not as weak and helpless as we think.
El Tejón is a fierce creature ready to pounce on any opponent!
If you would like to support the project get yourself a copy of The Ark here

raised by wolves
Portrait photography has always been a big inspiration for me. The one who impressed me most
by his approach is Jim Goldberg. In his book Raised by Wolves he follows the lives of teenage runaways on the streets of Los Angeles and San Francisco from 1985 until 1995.
The few examples I could find don't do the book justice... it is so much more than strong pictures of teenage rebellion. There are long interviews, spontanious polaroids, hand written notes and letters from the kids, photos of their posessions and their environment - you get the full picture.
