Hello!

Some of you might know that I've been working on a project called Black & White Freedrawings. After more than 8 months of drawing, organizing, doodling and art directing the project is now available!

The project is an unique exploration of collaborative drawing. Over 40 international artists were invited to collaborate on a drawing (you might recognise some Threadless regulars too!). These collaborations are called "freedrawings" to highlight the lack of restrictions, themes and guidelines. At the same time these drawings are not a preliminary sketch, but the final artwork. In 132 pages filled with freedrawing collaborations the artists take you on a journey through the process of collaboration, meanwhile showcasing their personal illustrations and working spaces.

Black & White Freedrawings is 132 pages of doodle goodness, 210 x 297 mm, featuring over 160 illustrations and more than 100 photos. It comes with an additional yellow dustcover that can double as a poster. The first edition has only 450 copies for sale! ISBN: 978-90-811226-2-7.

Hi all,

when I was visiting Chicago I decided to start a 365 days project with illustrations. All the drawing there got me spooked a bit. It will be quite a challenge to keep this up I think, but I do want to give it a go. I'm doing this mainly to try and move forward with my style, experiment around, evolve and also to document my stuff for a year.

I'm also hoping to get some feedback through the flickr site, so feel free to add me up there. I'd be honoured to receive comments from any of you. The more upfront and frank you are with your comments, the better it is.

(bear with me I still need to upload a few missing days from during my US trip)

Well done!
