BYTEDUST is a creative initiative mainly inspired by urban life, street art, designer-toys, music and personal interests like biochemics and biology.
My passion as designer started in 2002 when I set up an individual design project with ‘Hazchem‘ (Hazardous Chemicals) as main theme. I created black and white designs for T-shirt and street art stickers and appreciating other artwork and visiting freetekno parties in the Netherlands a personal interpretation about street art gradually developed into Bytedust.

Through message boards on the internet I came into contact with other artists creating stickers. I enjoyed getting involved in design contests and collaborations and more of my designs were printed on clothing, stickers and posters. By trading, my stickers ended up at many different places all over the world.
Besides sticker art I’m also very passionated about designer toys (art toys). These highly collectible, but limited numbered toys, designed by (famous) artists, encouraged me to get one of my 2D characters transformed into a 3D figure. The result was Cloud-X, Hazmate and other exclusive handmade plush toys, who showed up in (online)shops, websites, art shows and magazines worldwide.

NUDDY : 'The Naked Rabbit' likes to walk around in his Nuddy-pants. Sometimes when he feels busted 'Hazmate' (the red warning sign) is there for him to cover his naughtiness. NUDDY is a 18 cm (7 inch) handmade plush designer toy. This duo plush is able to stand on it's own. Just a very few sets available at the Bytedust-Shop .

‘Bytedust’ is a fresh source of energy, a result of creative expressions inspired by personal interests, feelings and thoughts.
