This part of the commission made me very nervous. So many unknowns, making the props before the pictures were there, my brain could not cope 😅 Let me know how you think they turned out!
Thanks again!
Fellow creatives; how do you usually choose your color schemes?
Most of mine are formed by chance and spotted in neat stacks or messy piles of laundry. Things on the street that have a temporary moment together. Or pictures that are accidental neighbors on the internet.
But this one came to me during hypnagogia, that half-asleep, half-awake state before falling asleep. Which I thoroughly enjoy, so entertaining to see what lives in my brain while I’m not paying attention.
This time it gave me colors that felt exactly right for the job. Amongst the usual dancing penguins and such.
Thank you &! This commission was a great joy.
The new book that sparked my curiosity to get reacquainted with the life and ideas of Simone de Beauvoir has been waiting for me for so long that it technically can’t be called new anymore. I felt delighted to be able to dive into it and call it work.
Simone de Beauvoir was a French existentialist philosopher and the wrote Le Deuxième Sexe, a foundational text of modern feminism. She argued that “one is not born, but becomes, a woman,” emphasising that gender roles are socially constructed rather than biologically innate.
From an early age I’ve known that I wanted to stay childfree and probably unmarried. Being a girl confused me. I knew I was one, but when looking at the other girls, I didn’t recognise myself. So I did a lot of thinking on what it means to be a girl.
My recent late autism diagnosis, I was 40, explained my confusion. Why I went towards insects as a kid, instead of running away from them like the other girls. Using that high pitched voice I did not seem to possess. And later questioned every expectation and social rule in that book I have never been able to find. (I still don’t have a satisfying answer to why you would ask someone how they are doing, when you don’t really want to know. So rude!)
It was my cue to start making my life really fit me instead of trying to fit in. Which is nice. But also kind of scary. To question all of the choices I made up until now. I had a feeling Simone could help me live beyond prevailing rules, since she did it so heroically.
Listening to books about her life now, I was impressed anew with her courage to carve out a life that fit her brilliant ideas, that were so new at that time.
But I was especially comforted by the instances I learned about, where she didn’t manage to fully live by them. Proving how difficult it is to step outside of the norm. Even when you are a genius who has dedicated her life to asking the questions, living by the answers and creating space for other women to choose for themselves.
I feel it has been painfully quiet here, because of and especially around his passing. I have found dealing with all the feelings it has brought about to be very complicated and confusing.
A few things are very clear though; Rutger was an exceptional artist and an incredible collector of people.
Both are celebrated tomorrow. Feel very welcome to join us in basking in the warmth of his world!

When I asked my boyfriend to help me make a little video of me trying my new cutting machine my wish sort of came true. Obviously he’s not me. But our time together often feels like a spot the difference game, excited as we are to find them.
An unexpected joy came with him setting up the machine. I don’t deal well with change, even if it’s good. I get all grumpy and irritated upon its happening. New clothes for example can easily be in my closet for a year before I actually start wearing them. The box containing my new Cameo 5 had been in the studio untouched for three weeks. And this made the transition so much easier for me.
The machine itself helped too.
Because human oh human, is this a good change! I love the new design, the buttons and the cover feel really nice when you use them and everything just works so much more smooth.
And to be honest, the previous one was ready for retirement. Next Sunday it would have been exactly 8 years of working together. I couldn’t get rid of her because I love her so much. Essentially she made my work possible. But she was beginning to make more and more mistakes and increasingly needed adjustments to work. Time for some well deserved rest.
Oh and for that wish to split yourself in two. Be careful what you wish for 😅 We had fun, it feels quite magical to create something with your favorite person and I’m excited for our next little project! But it also meant twice the perfectionism, subsequent time struggles and uneasiness putting things out in the world that don’t feel finished. But here we are:) Hope you enjoyed watching it!

If you’ve missed the drama, it’s in my previous post.
Most projects have a phase that convinces me I can never make it work. Some big, some small. This was a big one.
A construction too big for my liking. Wobbly as a result. A lot of math. Many layers and many parts. Late nights. Mistakes as a result. And a problem that made me fear my nightmares about high school would start all over again. (They didn’t, phew!) All worth it in the end. Of course.
Mezza asked me to illustrate an article on taking a vacation with an ex and joint children. Fans of the concept talk about their motivations and experiences.
Mismatching chairs work perfectly when using them to sit. Problems only arise when you try to stack them.
I couldn’t get the monobloc to stay on the folding chair the way I wanted to. Now the stack looks a little too neat for my liking. My hands are itching to give it another go, but other projects are asking for my attention.
Which do you prefer, the final illustration or the sketch?
Ok thank you for your attention and have a good whatever part of the day you are reading this!:-)

After my usual -read the article and walk away- routine, I knew this was the perfect opportunity to make the monobloc chair I’d been wanting to make.
I thought some mismatching chairs would work great to visualize the sentiment! After all their function as a chair isn’t at all impaired by their non-matchyness. They are just as comfy as ever.
Problems only arise when you, how am I going to say this, try to stack them, placing them on/in each other. No good. Besides each other; perfectly fine and enjoyable.
This post is all about the personal why and how I did it. Next time; why it made sense professionally. What else I made for these illustrations. And how they turned out.
Battling perfectionism like my life depends on it. Because it does 😅
