having interrupted my studies in architecture, i packed my bags and started doing some graphic work in afghanistan during the late seventies. making menus in exchange for cakes, decorating houses that offered me a bed, i enjoyed the simple pleasures of village life at on returning to europe i finished my studies in philosophy, bought a fat mac, walked and did not look back. graphic design felt like a good i design projects, talk to customers as well as emtpy waste baskets. a few years ago i employed five people, now i am back on my own (but still call myself creative partner). i believe in new beginnings and the power of a good laugh. a recent fun project was a set of five stamps i designed for the belgian postal services. one of them included horse manure which so far nobody has noticed. as a web designer i believe in coded language in more than one way. on a note of more personal creativity i have performed in parsifal at the brussels royal opera la monnaie in a production of romeo castellucci. that was interesting because i hated wagner but loved the italian director. when does something become clear to the point of turning mysterious? (i'd like to find out) — who calls the shots, the client of the designer or the end-user of what he makes? (what do you think?) — with on the one hand a creative idea and on the other one an attractive fee, what will i choose? (i don't know) — coming back to wagner, why do i now consider the prelude in parsifal as some of the best music ever written? (i say this about a lot of music and still it's true) — do i really believe that art, design, all things beautiful and intelligent can change the world for the better? (do you?) — if tomorrow there will be no more tomorrow, will i still will the most important thing always be the thing that is just around the corner? — is it you? your message has been sent. thanks for taking the time to send me a message and i will get back to you as soon as i can. cheers!
