About Me

Ok, here we go: Born and raised on Terschelling (very small island in the north of Holland) lived on a farm where i had my own horses, left when i was 13, went to school for several years but left early, moved to Amsterdam, went to artschool, left after a few weeks, worked for 6 years at the Diepte (garage-punk r&r bar in Amsterdam) started deejaying in bars and clubs like the Diepte, the Soundgarden, the Patronaat and on festivals like S'leazefest' and 'Garage Savage Trash Fest' and together with the 'Amsterdam Beat Club'. Organised monthly r&r festivals at the Patronaat and artshows like 'boots from the woods' (an exhibiton of clogs with many of the best artists and illustrators from Holland) and 'freaks on tour' (a travelling artshow featuring many great artists and bands and acts from Holland and the U.S) played in several bands such as: the Bones, Los Looches, the Doodle-li-Boobs (doodle-li-bop's coverband), the Serpents of the Nile and the Deleters. Been touring Spain, Italy, Switzerland and Germany. Now playing in the Sixtyniners with my one and only and love of my life Hoving! Been working as a freelance artist now for the last 6 years and had exhibitions all around the globe. Doing lots of graphic design for bands, festivals, music agencies, clothingbrands and burlesque starlettes from all over the world (posters/flyers, t-shirtdesigns, logo's etc.). I also work as a screenrprinter in a super cool printstudio called Amsterdam Silkscreen Productions. Last year i've set up my clothingbrand '69 wear', me and Hoving making the designs and me doing the printing. Check out 'Sixtyniners' and '69 wear' in my top friends.I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
