Last Saturday we were asked to paint at the Industrial Design festival ‘Mooi Helder’ with Big Bug Collection. As usual, people could hand in a shirt (although we ended up doing a lot of shoes as well this time), and we would paint something on it. The festival was in the middle of the city centre, and some industrial design projects were exhibited, together with some cool extra-curricular projects students are working on, including stuff with rolling robots and 3D printers. It was a relaxed and fun day with loads of painting and doodling.

After the festival we went to a party that was located in an area where loads of creative young entrepreneurs normally use the huge sheds there as a working area. It was great. There was live music, cool exhibited work, inspiring surroundings and fun people. I danced all night with the paint of the day still on my fingers. I finally hit my bed in the early morning while the memories of the day slowly faded away and were replaced by the images of my sleepy world of dreams.

      Yes I am really thankful for that. But you can find creative communities in many cities, sometimes it just takes some effort

      Yes! The logo of the festival was a banana in a hat, hence all the bananas ;)

    This is great! I loved looking at these pictures and seeing you guys “in action.” If I lived anywhere near you, I would so definitely come by with some shoes and a t-shirt for you to decorate! And maybe a purse…and some pants…flip flops too? Haha. I love your style!

      Thank you :) I really believe that creativity is a choice, something anybody could do. So I love the idea that I might inspire some people to get creative themselves as well!
