My second #freeartcoordinated this month. The second illustration took a bit longer. Since saturday 30 november 2019 the 2nd free art is waiting for a new owner. This time somewhere in the city of Hoorn, the Netherlands. To be precise in north holland. I announced on istagram stories which coordinates you will have to use to find it. To make it easier to find i also gave two hints.

The fashion illustration has not yet been found.

The coordinates:

52.6426118,5.0561551

Hint one:

My #free art is on a pin board at this location

Hint two:

You can eat there, the sandwiches they sell are round. Originally a polish product, introduced to the united states by Jewish immigrants.

IRIS VAN HERPEN – SHIFT SOULS

COUTURE – SPRING 2019

This Iris van Herpen Couture collection was inspired by early examples of celestial cartography and its representations of mythological and astrological chimera, Van Herpen was particularly taken with “Harmonia Macrocosmica,” a star atlas by the German-Dutch cartographer Andreas Cellarius, published in 1600.

Iris van Herpen is a dutch fashion designer. Ever since her first collection Fall 2008 RTW, I have been in love with the way she add detail, innovation and form to her collection. She deserves a bigger stage in the netherlands, just like her dutch colleagues who are couture masters. That’s why I choose something from Iris van Herpen, to show how beautiful the things she makes are. The model that is wearing her couture spring 2019 face jewelry, is the lovely liza makeeva.

I hope i soon will see who is the lucky one to find this #freeartcoordinated illustration.

To celebrate the launch of the new Versace Virtus bag, there was an illustration open call for this beautiful collection. Donatella Versace herself will choose a winner. On November 6th, the winning piece will be posted on Donatella Versace’s Instagram account. The top 9 illustrations will be released on the Draw a Dot Instagram account on November 7th, 8th and 9th 2019. (3 illustrations a day)

I have been a big fan of Versace since the 90s when I was in Fashionschool. How cool is it to illustrate for Donatella Versace. I am showing you a small teaser of my illustration. It’s about love, unity, and connection in eternity. After November 6th I will show you my full illustration. So wish me luck!

Here is an update of the #drawadotversacevirtus submission. This is my complete entry for the #drawadotversacevirtus. There were many entries and beautifully made.
You can see my illustration on Drawadot facebook page listed with all entries.
Unfortunately I am not among the best 9. I really enjoyed making it. @versace liked the two #sneakpeaks and the full illustration i posted, so that made me very happy

Inspired by my hero Keith Haring I thought, lets leave my work behind somewhere.

Like he left his in the subways. I wanted to leave my illustration at some place once a month. And give an illustration away every month. And let people search for it, by the coordinates I give them. The only thing I ask is to follow me on instagram, share and tag me, and show me where my illustration ends up.

And I thought how nice it would be to make someone happy with a free illustration, even if its a small gesture that I give with love. I think in this world it’s really about being willing to share and give something of value away.

My first #freeartcoordinated was successful. It Felt so good to make someone in the world happy with my fashion illustration. This GucciGirl was found at Kebun Bistro in Ubud, Bali. One of my favorite places in Ubud, because of the unique atmosphere. The lucky winner @silentmutterings has shown his happiness in an artistic way. He is happy with it and i really love that. Congrats!

So wait and see, this month its time again for #freeartcoordinated

On februari 14th, 2019 Marc Jacobs showed his Fall collection at Park Avenue Armory in New York.

I found Marc Jacob’s Fall 2019 collection very beautiful. I have chosen one of my favorite items for my illustration. This was worn on the runway by Aivita muze. I found her appearance very catchy. I love the art deco style so much and gave this illustration a bit of an authentic atmosphere. Hope you like this one!

It made me very happy that marc jacobs could appreciate my illustration, thank you Marc Jacobs

On March 30th i digitally send my artwork for the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. It is 350 years ago this year, that Rembrandt van Rijn (the dutch artist in the golden age) died.

The Rijksmuseum gives artists the space to hand in their work and if you are selected, it may be possible that your work will be displayed at the summer exhibition. I am very enthusiastic and of course hope that my artwork will be accepted. And then you can seen my work at the exhibition in the Rijksmuseum, that would be fantastic.

My painting is inspired by Rembrandt, after researching his life i started sketching. The story came alive during my research. I will keep the story behind it for myself for now. But i will tell you more about it later. Wish me luck! #langleverembrandt

In the meantime there have been selections and unfortunately my artwork is not included. I really enjoyed participating and was delighted to be inspired by rembrandt.

The love, the symbolism, the marriage, the intimacy. Rembrandt and his wife Saskia and their love story.

A period of blossom and prosperity, but still those misfortune. The couple had four children, three of whom died shortly after birth. Titus, the youngest child, lived the longest. The first Child was a boy, and two girls (both named Cornelia). So i painted one daughter Cornelia as an adult woman in a beautiful white exotic dress, with blue images of Rembrandt’s most famous work, the act of love, the lion, his beloved wife Saskia van Uylenburg and an image of the master painter himself. A white dress as a symbol of death. Cornelia is wearing a Silver wedding heart, with an image of a mother and a child in a crib with those beautiful words engraved, “Love is the beginning, that is beyond everything, because where there is no love, one cannot praise God there, “it says. In the background the church Sint Anna parochie in Friesland where her parents were married. The lost daughter “Cornelia” the second child of Saskia and Rembrandt who died after birth. Born from love. Child mortality was common in the 17th century, immortalizing your child on canvas was not strange in this period.

One year after giving birth to son Titus, his beloved wife Saskia died in 1642 from tuberculosis. The exact location where Saskia was buried in the Oude Kerk (Amsterdam) was established in the fifties of the twentieth century by archivist Bep Bijtelaar. Her name with date of death was carved in an old tombstone on that spot. Every year on March 9 at exactly eight past eight in the morning the sun falls on the grave. Rembrandt never married again. I believe they married out of love.

My artwork as a symbol for Love and loss, an ode to Rembrandt and Saskia.

WARDEMENTS
-FALL 2018-

I started to illustrate a new fashion item on a different day.

I have a love for fashion, and want to show you what kind of beautiful fashion creations are made nowadays. But also the earlier influences in fashion are something i can really appreciate.  After MONDAY SHOE it is time for A BAG ON WEDNESDAY.  

So for one year you can see “A bag on Wednesday” every week on my Instagram page. 

The first bag on wednesday that i posted on March 14, is one of my favorite designers Sarah Burton.

ALEXANDER MC QUEEN

-Fall 2018 RTW-

Its a fragment of a beautiful made dress with an amazing clutch. Together with a feeling of femininity, power and fragility this beautiful clutch is some item to fall in love with! I absolutely admire the embroidery and love that the jewelry is actually the handle of the bag. Sarah Burton talked about the various aspects of woman’s personalities. Strength, fragility, perservance and how those aspects flow into the other.

“a hyper-real world….. a sense of pride, joy and optimism prevails’
