Hi dA Friends !

I'm always bad at updating my journals and this is no exception.

in short. The past 7 months I worked on a comedy tv show with my 2 best friends that will air on Belgian TV in November. It suddenly happened when a nice producer remembered us from years ago pitching an idea for a program. And we suddenly went on to make it. We wrote it ourselves, acted in it ourselves for a large part and I did some animation for it as well. it was a crazy adventure and I'm superexcited about it. Can't show anything yet, though.

next week I'll be in New York from september 6th till the 18th.
On holiday with my girlfriend. But I will be visiting some local artists and do a mural in Brooklyn together with great Brooklyn based artist Paul Windle > [link].
Really looking forward to that ! I always dreamt of doing a mural in NYC.

if there are dA friends in NY let me know ! I might have the time to say hi.

what have you been all up to ? have fun !

haha, thanks so much man. The grass is always greener on the other side, so don't let my stuff fool you. I saw your gallery a few days ago and thought, fuck! this style is awesome, what you do is something I can't do, I always have to turn to stupid puns and very simple line drawings ( admitted I like those myself, but still, it sometimes feels like an easy way out :) ). Keep going where you are going, keep making awesome things. I personally have no idea where I am heading and I feel like I'm still practicing. I think every artist should always want to try to be better and it can be menacing to see a gallery full of fun works. that gallery is always the result of hard work over time. it's something that has been built. If I can be part of an energy that makes you create better and more pieces that would be a tremendous honor. go for it, captain ! Impress me :)

Heh. Same here. I sure as hell can't do what guys like you and Teagle do. I've tried and failed. Ain't nothing wrong with puns and simple line drawings. You're obviously good at what you do. I know how ya feel. I've no idea where my work is heading either. Only time can tell. Just tryin' to have fun making "art." You keep pumping out work and maybe we can be friendly artistic rivals. I NEED to be more productive. Rivalry is my best motivation. Keep up the good work, or I will DESTROY YOU!

haha, deal ! the key is to have fun, I live from positive energy, the power to create, the hunger for new creations, to impress. to me it's basically not even a choice. I get pulled towards creating fun stuff, I wouldn't know what else to do. It's this urge to create. If there comes a day that I'll stop drawing, I think I'll go nuts. My best friend is the opposite of me. He creates on a power of hate, and that works for him. Like Daniel Plainview in There Will Be Blood: " I have a competition in me. I want no one else to succeed ". to me that is unproductive and exhausts me, but like I said, it's personal.

thanks for the fav and the comments man. I really like your work, your comics remind me a bit of Jeroom.

My film, by the way, will eventually be online by next summer, but in the mean time I'm submitting to festivals. Next ones are in Amsterdam and Brooklyn. It's also available with a tape.

Hey with pleasure ! thanks for the supercompliment in return ! how do you know Jeroom ? You are American and I assume he's not that popular overseas, as his work is mostly in Dutch. or am I wrong ?

I'm very curious about your film. will it be shown on a Belgian festival perhaps too ?

Yeah, he's virtually unknown here, i came across a few of his comics online, and they were indeed in Dutch. But I liked them so much visually, so i used Google Translate and typed out all the word bubbles in order to read hahaha.

As for festivals, i've only been accepted to 3 so far in UK, Netherlands and Brooklyn. I have to re-check where I've applied to cause it's been alot, but theres no guarantee on getting in either.
