I announce couple changes that will or have occurred on my blog:
– I have added a ‘drawn interview’ symbol to the interviews of the designers to separate the pictures from the drawings
– I will start to watermark my pictures. It happens often that I find my pictures on other websites without putting a link to matandme.net. shame on you!
– I will finally publish more information about me. so people who don’t know me will find out whats behind all this

last friday I attended at the 2nd pecha kucha night at the ainsi in maastricht, netherlands.
pecha kucha forces a presenter to show 20 images for 20 seconds a piece, for a total time of 6 minutes, 40 seconds. this form of presentation was invented in japan in 2003 by tokyo based architects astrid klein and mark dytham, klein dyham.
I am sure everybody of us know some creatives that tend to talk to much and too long about their ideas. anyway, I think I am going to participate at the next pecha kucha maastricht on saturday, 20th june 2009. lalala
okaystudio is a design collective of former royal college of art students. all of them were studying design products at the college and after graduating they still wanted to share the same workspace. I had the chance to go and see their london-based studio in stoke newington and meet some of the members. more about 2 of the members and their assistant ;-) in the upcoming days.

last new years eve I lost my wallet. I needed some new business cards, wondered what to do … and that’s what I came up with..
young london-based designer matthew plummer fernandez, english designer max lamb, my grandma (she wears my cool sunglasses), maarten baas furniture producer bas den herder with eindhoven-based designer alexander pelikan, fashion designer branko popovic, dezeen founder marcus fairs with his wife rupinder boghal (what a great couple!), the e pellicci team (my favourite greasy spoon in london), my brother and me (we did not change), hong-kong based designer michael young, spanish artist-designer jamie hayon, fashion concept designer miriam hartwig, london-based designer tomas alonso
I am back in the netherlands. maastricht, eindhoven.. lalala
and this is my favourite burger at the dutch mc donalds. I even like the layout of the packaging
eggs and bacon sandwich. I will stay a week.
concrete – the trusted construction material. my academy in maastricht is a concrete building. maybe one of the reasons why I feel so comfortable there. I like the hard and massive appearance of concrete buildings.
the southbank centre london, europe’s largest centre for the arts is one of my other favourites. next to the barbican. (see my previous post here) the southbank centre consists of the royal festival hall, the hayward, queen elizabeth hall and the saison poetry library. the entire complex is build in the 50ies and located at the thames in southbank. It’s close to the tate modern, which openend in 2000 and is another cultural enrichment in bankside, at the thames.
