Reaction on Obama's recent action

2011-05-03T16:48:00.003Z

I came across this speech,cause yesterday the joy about someone's death,even if it was terrorist and a murderer of many people,left me puzzled

I think that this speech of MLK is the best way to express my opinion and my feelings about this mass hysteria

I really hoped and wished that Obama would have been smarter,to be honest I think he wanted to show off,to distract the US from what is way more important,it's like he wanted to be Glorious and Victorious,pretending to be a sort of new Messiah ??? ....I'm not gonna use to much words anymore about this case,here are the wise words of someone bigger and wiser than Obama ever will be....

The ultimate weakness of violence
is that it is a descending spiral,
begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy.
Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it.
Through violence you may murder the liar,
but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth.
Through violence you murder the hater,
but you do not murder hate.
In fact, violence merely increases hate....
Returning violence for violence multiples violence,
adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.
Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Q&A - An Image is Worth... from Your Favorite Enemies on Vimeo.

I got inspired by the question asked to my friend,and i wanted to create my own vision of what Love could be, and part of my humble,incomplete answer is, it's a swan swimming in troubled water,cause he /she is afraid for the unknown, the next step,taking a risk,feels scary....., it's elegance,beautiness,...it's fragile, but strong...and somehow i picture it as a white object...( no psychoanalysis please;-), i think it represents the Light,radiating what you feel inside(also the water is a mirror of your inner feelings in this image)...but also feeling lighter, once you came home,feeling so secure about your choice,never wanna leave him/her...huge weight fell off your shoulder...cause the big search finally stopped with that first sweet kiss....and then Love should carry you into a never-ending relationship, just as the water carries you to unknown places....never ending LOVE .......but hey what's your answer to this Q???

this is the first reaction from a friend when she saw this image

aww a swan.... the ultimate partnership.... thats what comes to my mind... the real definition of lifelong love

My interview @ The Waking by Amando O.

2009-10-01T09:28:00.007Z

My interview at The Waking

The Lounge – Interview with Jonathan De Keyzer, Photographer

Jonathan De Keyzer first discovered his love for photography while studying interior design in college. Architecture, however, is only one subject that has influenced the photographer. Describing his style as "eclectic,” Jonathan draws inspiration from many sources. His hometown of Ghent, Belgium is one of them. It's "a melting pot of different cultures," he says. When he's not snapping pictures around his city, Jonathan loves to travel. This past year alone he paid a visit to Amsterdam, Paris, and London, taking photographs all along the way. In our interview, The Waking asked Jonathan more about his inspirations, why he loves photography, and how he believes art makes an impact in the world.

Q: Why do you do photography?

It started out as a need. I needed to buy a cam to take detail shots from my interior-designs situation before the works (empty structure) to be able to precise maps. That's how the passion started. Now, I can't live without my camera anymore; I always have it standby. But, it's also a family bug in my dad’s family. [We] have some great photographers in our family. Actually, my great-grandfather was a photographer and an interior-architect as well, so it's definitely in my genes.

I found out that what attracts me the most in this discipline of art is the freedom; it's a perfect way to escape. For 3 years I was balancing on the verge of life and [death]. I had a deadly liver-disease and in between the medical tests and treatments I needed to unwind, so I took with me when I drove to the hospital and if I had the energy, I took some pics. I also tried to do a lil’ walk each day to focus on other positive, beautiful things around me. It was my way to survive this hell...

Q: Who or what inspires you?

I have a few names who are a true source of inspiration, like Ansel Adams and Carl de Keyzer, Gérard Sioen (visited his gallery in Carcassonne, France)...and of course I admire a lot of photographers at the flickr.com photo community. I'm totally addicted to that site; so many talented artists. My favorites are Manky Maxblack and the McCormick sisters, Meg Elizabeth and Mariah (MGM photography). [I] have learned a lot from them and it's always a pleasure to see their works. I constantly watch good pictures. I'm totally focused on what's visual, esthetical. I focus on what's beautiful, unique...the word beautiful might have a dangerous message to you, but I also try to look behind the surface; beautiful people are not always the nicest persons. I look for what's inside…

Since I was a kid I followed the latest fashion and design trends, followed what was hip ‘n’ cool. I was a magazine freak, watched a lot of TV, just to keep up with what was going on in the world, and now I’m always in need for fresh cool websites.

Actually, I have a wide range of influences, from flower-artists like Danïen Öst, to Swedish Glassworks, to dreamy fashion designers like Kaat Tilley and Nicole Cadine, to real (interior)-designers like Maarten van Severen, Quinze & Milan, everything that’s Italian and stylish to little, local, young artists. Actually, if you watch my blog "God is an Artist" (older posts), you can clearly see who inspires me :))

Q: What would you like to accomplish with your art?

I always was a very dreamy person and I still am a dreamer. It's not that I isolate myself, ‘cause I'm a very social person, [I] need to have fun with my friends. But, I've always tried to create beautifulness, to polish a rough diamond...to show what people don't see...’cause they don't know the value of it. Normal, daily things in the right context can look totally different than when you serve it on an ugly plastic placemat, for example. What I try to do is to let people dream for a while; they enter in a world far away from the daily horror that's confronting them in the daily news. Call it escapism; I call it focus on the right things. Lots of people actually breathe in and out what's negative, what makes them sad, dirty, down...I want them to breathe fresh air...it's an exercise to find something positive and to enjoy the good life. God created glorious, beautiful things, not to look over it, as we mostly tend to do in our busy scheduled life. Focusing on the beauty of creation is standing in awe for the maker of it and the next thing you do is WORSHIPPING THE MAKER OF IT, not me!!!

Q: Why is art so important?

It’s oxygen for me. When I entered the brave new world of art school, it's like I came home. I was like a sponge soaking up all the dazzling beauty of miraculous masterpieces. I was thirsty and I found what I was looking for. My professors showed me the way in this labyrinth, ‘cause you have to part the sea; there's a lot of filth, lot of dirt. But there's also an enormous amount of pearls and diamonds, treasures in art world. I need good input; it's soul food. It's the same as reading a good daily devotional...you need food for body, mind and soul...that’s what art is to me.

Q: What is your advice to aspiring photographers?

In times of digitalism, there's no need to save pellicle film. You have to shoot as much as you can, to delete what's average, to start all over again when it's crap. You have to shoot every single day. Take your cam wherever you go; I always have it standby (made one of my best shots, at the breakfast table, looking at the traffic in my very busy street) and never think, “This is too crazy, what [do] I want to shoot now…” Create your own style by trial and error; it's hard work, it's a learning process. Digital photography is so much more than taking a pic with a trendy, cool looking shooter; it comes with lots of terms...you have to know at least the basics...but most important is experimenting with editing programs, discipline and practicing. 2 key words...if it's your thing it becomes your passion, and then nothing is tough or hard anymore. You try ‘til you get the right tweak, the right composition. Good luck to the new generation. I only shoot for 3 years, every day, so there's hope dudes!!!

Q: What is one album, movie, or book that everyone should own?

Album: That's so subjective but I'm a huge fan of Smashing Pumpkins, so I'd say “Zeitgeist” and “Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.” Most of Moby's work, U2, Radiohead, Woven Hand, Sigur Rós and so much more.

Fav movies: Tarrantino rules!!! Just saw “Inglourious Basterds” and I loved every minute of it. “Into the Wild” (soundtrack from Eddy Vedder) and John Travolta's work (like “A Love Song for Bobby Long”).

Books? My fav designer book is Karim Rashid's work “I Want To Change the World,” Gaudi's entire collection (I love Barcelona!) and I have a little photo book from “The Cornish Coast (UK)” by Bob Croxford; totally amazing. A must have is also the photo book “Hope in the Dark” by Jeremy Cowart and Jena Lee (check their website hopeinthedark.com for blood water mission (aids patients in Africa), and architectural work from Frank Lloyd Wright and Tadao Ando.

Normal fav book is “Redeeming Love” from Francine Rivers (just read in 9 hours), Henri Nouwen’s “The Return of the Prodigal Son” and I'm currently reading “Wild Goose Chase” from Mark Batterson and an amazing book called “Tesjoewa” from Teus Schep.

enjoying life...is it an art these days

2009-07-13T19:44:00.004Z

Today I had such a good laugh with Regina Spektors latest album " Far",she such a funny bubbly person,smart with language,humoristic,...and oh so cute(think she doesn't want to hear that), but uhm,...it's so amazing when some fantastic tunes can cheer u up,specially on a Monday...after a joyful week-end filled with summer parties and BBQ's,quality time with colleagues and friends,after hearing some very sad news from a good good friend...

I can't hear the word crisis anymore,as it is one big lie,developed by a dark economical destroying greedy fucked up machine,...we're launched back to the industrial revolution days,...but we're still doing great so far...I don't want to get into that panic stream,being over concerned,...i just wanna enjoy life and the beauty of it,...although it can be hard when people start telling bout their horrible experiences...it becomes an art , a savoir vivre...to enjoy life, to dive for pearls in the deep blue ocean,to find beautiful red cherries in your neighbours tree,...

I've been very sick for 3 years as you might know,and it's a miracle that I'm still alive,tons of people prayed for me and ...it worked,darkest crisisperiod of my life turned into a joyful,busy,creative,quality life again...I was so happy to be able to travel again,first some short distances (amsterdam to visit my baby bro and a good friend),architectural trip in Paris, London is coming up, and ...after I've practiced with these...Canada is on the program for this summer vacation...

If you climb out of a valley, there might always be some obstacles,...but you'll get out of it, for sure,...if you're still in your deepest crisis,...I'm with ya, I know what it is to suffer every day,no light at the horizon,losing hope little by little...I was so glad i didn't loose this fight mentally,I was strong,I wanted to stay positive, cause if you loose that fight,you're off to neverland...and that place is crowded...

Rebirth

2009-05-20T19:21:00.002Z

It's been centuries ago since I last blogged...Have been pretty sick for 3 freaking long years...a serious liverdisease nearly killed me...but miracles still happen...!!! Scans showed a cirrhotic(not due to alcohol,but a virus!) liver,doctors gave up on me, but now I'm alive and kicking again!!! God is an artist...:))

On this boring beautiful evening I thought to breathe new life into my blog,...As you know I'm passionate bout photography so I thought to show my best and most interesting work here.Will share some intimate behind the scene thoughts with you about those pictures...and you'll get the opportunity to buy this stuff...don't feel obliged to do this...please,feel free to watch and enjoy!

According to the flickr.com population this is one of my most interesting P's
My best pics are those that I've shot in an impulsive moment,without being aware that it could be an instant hit,well almost ...the next pic will show you more about this style.Took this one in a reception tent...Just walked in saw those lights, took a shot and off i was...did some post editing(to many wires:)) and gave the colors a little boost

This is my friends son,...he was just sitting there against the wall during a party... a natural pose..a click...he wasn't aware...but now he loves this picture, added some layers for that dirty look,and tons of people adored him and this pic

Was just sitting at my breakfast table, on a Monday morning(holiday), saw this Citroën DS passing by(my absolute fav),grabbed my cam as fast as I could, snapped this baby,did some light editing( made those lights work!!,some contrast...) and BOOM...it appeared in explore...well I wasn't surprised about that,cause when i took the shot I also thought this might become a killer P:)))

That's it for now my loves.Enjoy your day and hope to hit you back soon
Greatz,

Creative thinking,multi-connections,business,trends in relation to designing tomorrows...

2008-10-28T10:29:00.007Z

Hi Loves,

As usual I open my blog with the words" it has been long since..." and so it is!!!
Entertained you with some happy tunes,hope you enjoyed them.Anyway...this is the first time that I write an entire blog...holy cow only words...no images n graphical backgrounds.Is he OK, the poor lad,yessss I says he's OK!!!

Ever since I was a kid I devoured mags,was addicted to the television(especially interested in fashion,celebs,world-economy and business,cars,design,music...),watched and listened to the news,listened to the radio,...nothing special,but i need a constant stream of NEW, FRESH data,...I confess I'm a total Type B personality.I read on the toilet,...books,magazines,papers,everything, always... didn't know why till this week-ends seminar at interior'08.Deejays, musicians,all kinds of artists,fashionguru's , architects and (interior)designers like me have developed a 6th or 7th sense to find new inspiration to create out of a multi-vitamine eclectical mixture of cultures,philosophies,habits,changes,history, sociology,politics,world-news,....What we do is achieving perfection in copy -pasting without thinking in smalltalk boxes and labels.No we create freedom and peace out of chaos...What once was old, becomes new...layers and layers of history melted in a one new product.

I'm a creative thinker, n due to my interior-architecture and designing activities I'm a trendwatcher to develop your HOT SPOT darlinz,without bragging bout myself,I know what's hot n hip n coolest,but what to do with all this crap??? Link it to tomorrow baby !!!

There's a trend in a new way of using the internet.From passive receivers we slowly became active data output slaves...It means from consulting pages to see when our train leaves to Olen, we became freakin bloggers,netloggers, myspacers,facebookers, and what not. And that's mighty interesting sweets,that is what we love to see, CHANGES in old rusted patterns of HUMAN BEHAVIOUR!!! From downloading to uploading...makes quite a difference baby. Put more of your favorite stuff on the internet and share it with your friends in Tokio,berlin,toronto,amsterdam,london,Ljubljana,Moscow ....and Olen...

We mail on an individual level, sometimes we put someone in the CC zone,or during X-mas we put ten or twenty people in BCC. Last summer I received 100's of mails(festival-organisation)@ gmails and I have 2 more inboxes,(same story).It freaked me out,until I read an article in a business paper.Some cool Italian CEO stopped using e-mail.I repeat,this bloke STOPPED sending E-mails!!! He started putting info and all what he needed to say at a wikipedia page.Ad valvas baby,good old university habits!!! It saves hours and hours a week !!! More time with your family...???!!!!
If you read articles from top managers and if they happen 2 show off with their week-planners,you'll always see that the first 2 hours of the day are used to read mails, nothing than mails. Facebook-addict as I am(according to my friends) I would love to say,all that I want you to know you will find at my profile from now on.I stop the part-time mail processing job and I connect with you via FB's,and if needed I make a phonecall, or an old fashioned emergency mail.Think about changing habits and start with yourself.But I think it's to early to pioneer if no-one else believes in this system
Your bedroom, bathroom,kitchen,toilet,basement, attick, or living room will become a place to reach the entire world with one finger touch on your table, fridge,bed, showerscreen,...You won't reach 1 at a time, no you'll reach THE WORLD(grab some clothes first PLS!)

That's number 1,...second point is making advantage of hundreds of friends.The average adolescent myspacer has 500 friends, av.facebookers have 300 friends. Man figure it out,they reach a huge Public! Think: a young lovely adolescent girl wants to shop, for a new bra. She was used to take 3 of her best friends to the mall to get some advise, she's insecure businessmen!, she needs help managers! She's got more than 3 giggling and gossiping friends,... She's got at least 800 people who can take part in decision making whether it will become a yellow with purple dots push up bra or a sportsy creamy white sports bra.Same story with the boy who needs a new cellphone. He can count on more than 800 individuals who can influence him in buying the latest Nokia or trying the G3 i-phone,cause blackberry's are mostly girlstoys
What will they need? Smart Touch Screens in shops to make immediate CONNEXION with all these luvly luvley spacefacekids asap,pronto! We need to develop software and devices for this new consumer behaviour! Geo-tagging,twitter(-pic) I donno what we'll have to mix! What i know is that in these times of recession, business people need trendwatchers like us! We're in a transfer zone.Facebook is only the beginning of a new area! Stupid, retarded applications will make place for serious high tech intelligent programs...
So it will be our jobs to design new multi-connectivity shops, the kids need to be entertained until they get all the reactions of their 800 (or more ) global peers to buy or to look for the hippest n coolest goodies.If they finally make the decision, they will share this news and they will spread the word! Imagine....450 of them( might) buy the same bra or cellphone,that's not the 3 or less pimple faces anymore,like in the old times
This is globalisation. But I love authenticity and old values as much as I love the latest trends.Think these two can live next to each other. I mean I prefer the Mokkabon(local coffee place) instead of Starbucks, I don't want my 906 myspace friends to fill that place with laughter and NOISE, no I still want to read my paper in my fav café !!!
There's a thin line between NO privacy and facebook.It's up to U to decide if you want to be lived by others or live your own life and make your own decisions.What I mean to say is, you need a wise balance in this new situation. There's an off button use it before you get abused and stalked! U have the power to get ripped or not!
Dear brothers and sisters, we live in a time that money rules this world,stockholders became to greedy and caused millions of companies to close down, because they didn't make enough profit. Because of their continuous need for more and more and more,lots of know how and huge potential got lost(LOTSLOST!!!)
What do they want next??? They want to suck the brains out of the ART-industry! First of all, there's no such thing as ART-Industry unless an artist decides to produce global arty looking non-sense,or if he/she decides to puke out nothing else than useless hits!
Imagine, a fat rich stockholder decides to own U2.Bono has to make each year more and more profit for this creep,if he doesn't, the man decides to make an end to bono,edge,clayton and mullens career.Fans simply need to find something else.U2 stopped playing because one sick dude didn't get enough dollars.A million dollar company like U2 got lost.This my friends happens each day,happy enough it's not our beloved U2 or Smashing Pumkins we loose,but actually it is the same.It's a company that makes your favorite chocolate or ice-cream, it's your bank where you opened an account the minute you became 12 years old,and it's more than that, it's the safe, stabile environment where you used to grew up that melts down,until all memories are erased...
We have to get rid of this crazy system,economic insanity has to stop now.Global exploitation has to come to an end before it kills all skills...and...before Will & his lovely wife Jill can't pay their bills...anymore,cause the local factory moved to China or some other cheap place...
I think the power is in the hands of creative thinkers,all over the world,developing new systems and services doesn't has to exclude India or Africa,there's human intelligence everywhere,free-lance projects with people who own new knowledge and have the guts and brain to tell the world,will rock this place (gosh it's snowing right here)

This is not hypothetical wooshiewooshie that I wrote,This isn't a prophecy ,this is reality peeps, it's only you who have to open your eyes for new possibilities,we all need to break down the walls and have to embrace the NEW what is to come...I've put it very very simple and clear,cause there's no need to use academical vocabulary for simple things like this...

God is an artist, he makes everything new and he starts with you!

Love you all very much
greatz and hugs,
Jonathan

o yeah what's up next??? I'm planning to upload some Interior'O8 highlights and I'm working on some new stuff bout designers, fashion,arts...and will show some of my recent works

on a very rainy summerday...

2008-07-09T18:04:00.022Z

Hey My loves,...

Creatures of mercy and patience, thanx for not shooting me down. You've been waiting ages for a decent post.You were so faithful to me:)
Point is that I'm always busy with projects,interior-design, church,festival,lovely people,work,school,... the real life has been very demanding last period,but I've recently decided to calm down a bit, relaxing, chilling, you know these fantastic words I guess.Blogging is finding time to entertain others. That's what the blogger community is all about. Teaching your friends something new and interesting in their and your FREE time:-) But today it is raining and for once i didn't care cause i was aching to BLOG 4 U my darlins;-)

Well here's an artist who recently caught my FULL attention.When i was hopping trough the magazine department of my favorite supermarket.

You need to be freaking good to demand, to seduce, to attract me, but this master
Mr David Trubridge, did it with his designs: Simple organic shapes and forms,in basic certified!!!timber...
Lately i was busy with designing a park pavillion and i was studying to find the basic feel, the groove,you know, it has to come from the stomach normally,but God gave me the shapes when i was walking in nature and gave them details in a dream...the Big Chief is amazing, he gives us sweet Dreams ,that's where my grooves come from...that's where my fav,Gaudi's, vibes came from....

Ok back to Mr Trubridge from New Zealand. I was touched because of his ideas and influences.They are so pure,ecologic,back to basic,close to nature and that's what i love, that's what i also tried to achieve in my pavillion project

My ideas come from the wild places,
edges of turbulence and renewal,
where seas break on beaches and headlands,
where land and air meet on mountain ridges.

I make forms of elemental simplicity,
as the erosion of air and water on wood and stone,
forms that speak of humanity's survival on earth,
of life's fragility and dependence,
of comfort in the ways of the past that have succoured us,
and optimism for a sustainable and enriching future.

I work within the limits of what I have and know,
simplicity and low impact,
natural materials and processes,
leaving a delicate footprint.

Here's more to read about him

Got you someof his recent works.Take a close look to the details, to the simplicity that can't be copied, cause it gots his unique signature.I bet you'll love his masterpieces.For ecological adepts it's a must have.Wonder how long it will take until his ship will find your new harbor

Live your life to the max....consume the min,that's the challenge baby.

Much love

Jones

Eva

2008-03-28T20:33:00.003Z

Original by ToniVC

In great remembrance of Eva-Lianne,who died by a car accident in zambia,last week.

Ooooow God i pray,carry her family and dear friends trough their darkest hour!

Eva is face 2 face with her Maker now,the Artist of Life...shining in His Glory.
I remember her with a smile on her face,always showing Jesus Love 2 everyone!
It's painful, we don't understand,she was full of live,full of Love,reaching out to the poor and the sick,studying medicines,just had a new boyfriend whom she visited there...
We'll never know his mysterious ways,it's a struggle sometimes,but it's a comfort that everything is in His Hands and not in ours;-)

With Love,
Jones

Waterworld Intro

2007-06-05T18:06:00.001Z

Waterworld : source of inspiration

2007-06-05T17:27:00.000Z

Finally,a normal blog. But still not the promised blog about architects in Ghent. Doing some serious research for that. Have mercy! Ok?
Wasn't planning to stuff my blog with You tube vids either, but I guess it helped to fill the gap for you, you hungry designlovers:-)

Waterworld had an enormous impact on me. I could watch it over and over again. I loved kevins catamaran,the little girl was very funny and the enemies were beaten in a very genious way @ the end. Mr Costner was a true water heroe!
But I was captured by this idea of a waterworld. Trading everything you had for a piece of unvaluable paper. Therefore I started using cotton handkerchiefs again.Well at least I'm trying he.My ecologic footstep is still gigantic, but I try to avoid Waterworld as much as I can, allthough it is an intresting way of living,not?But I hope I will never be forced to drink my own(filtered)urine

Found these amazing pictures and waterworld vids during my everlasting surftrip on the world wide ocean of the web:-)Lots of(japanese) architects or constructors were fighting the elements to build their waterparadises for us.And let's not forget Venice. Enjoy them, and get your feet wet.Build a sandcastle at the beach,...Pretend it's your WATERKINGDOM.Heroic feeling isn't it?

Much love
J
o yeah you have to watch one waterworld vid @ you tubes cause the owner doesn't allow embedding at blogs. Just water on him ok?

YOU GET A SHOT OF THIS PLANT EXTRACT @ FIRST AID IF YOU WERE SO SMART TO EAT A DEADLY KIND OF MUSHROOM,YOU REALLY SHOULD BUY THEM IN A GOOD BIOSHOP,...

I HAVE TO TAKE A VERY HIGH DOSE OF IT EACH DAY(LEGALON 140NOT 70 AS DISPLAYED HERE) TO BE ABLE TO SURVIVE,BUT THE RESULTS ARE VERY GOOD. THE STUPID THING IS THAT BELGIAN HEALTH INSURANCE IGNORES THIS TYPE OF MEDICINE CAUSE THEY DON'T BELIEVE IN PLANTEXTRACTS. THEY THINK IT IS ALTERNATIVE OR WOOSHIE WASHIE.THEREFORE IT'S A VERY EXPENSIVE MEDICINE.BUT IT SAVES A LOT OF PEOPLES LIFES!IT'S NOT FAIR THAT POOR PEOPLE CAN'T PAY THIS KIND OF TREATMENTS. THIS POLICY HAS TO CHANGE!!! IT IS INJUSTICE AND I HATE IT.

New Farm project

2007-03-29T08:31:00.000Z

Last saturday we(my class and I) went to a very nice little village called Melden. One of my professors has a farm and lots of land(with a big swimming- pond and fruit3s and acres and acres of pure grass )over there and he wants to renovate this place. So we took all the measures,made maps and plans of it and now we can start creating a nice second home for him. This farm is from 1870(still without streaming water and electricity) and was used from 1914-1918 by zie Germans for ammunitionstorage. Actually there's still a lot of dangerous explosives hidden under the soil/surface.So if we start building this up we have to call the special bombunit from the Belgian army(do we still have some bravehearts over there?) But I'm very excited about this project. I had to cancel the hotel-project, but since i feel a lot better I'm happy that I'm able to design and create again.It's a big project so I'll better start moving b4 zie germans come.

was a cold day so we warmed our selves @the stove

our lovely Tsjetsjeninans students

So now it's up to us to transform this old dump into a new old style farm. The difficulty is this. It's a protected monument and therefore we've got a lot of bureaucratic stupid restrictions. It's insane. It's also situated in a rural environment which gives us extra extra limitations of creative freedom. Actually there's no freedom at all to renovate your own property in this area.

You can add 20% to the total volume. You can hardly change something inside without dealing with tons of paperwork and everything has to be approved by a special jury. It's crazy. It's surrounded by trees but you can't use wood to rebuild.Do you understand the logics behind this? Cause I don't have a clue.

We hope that our plans will slip through their nets!

Looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong 3's eey:-)

...BIG LOFT.IT'S THE ATTICK OF AN OLD FACTORY. BUT NOW THIS BUILDING IS TRANSFORMED INTO A BIG STORE (dreamland).AND ON TOP OF IT THEY'VE CREATED THIS GIGANTIC APPARTMENT. I ZLWAYS WONDERED WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE. I THOUGHT IT WAS SOME KIND OF A DARK NIGHTCLUB, BECAUSE THERE WAS ALWAYS SECURITY AT THE ENTRANCE. BUT NOW IT'S FOR SALE AND IT'S ON THE MARKET FOR €600.000. IT' S RELATIVELY CHEAP, IT'S A BARGAIN!? CAUSE IT'S HUGE!!! IF U WANT IT WE CAN VISIT IT. CIAO

FLOWERPOWER:Mr Danïel Ost

2007-03-03T12:10:00.000Z

Two weeks ago I've got some flowers from a good friend. She brought me a bouquet of orange tulips with a nice purple flame pattern on the flowerleaves. When you're sick they bring some fresh joy in your life! I really enjoyed them.

They reminded me of this great Belgian man Mr Daniel Öst.This extraordinary flowerartists is one of the best in the world. He's a prefectionist and therefore he's attracted to Japan,where he can achieve further (r)evolutionary flower virtuosity. He also got a very nice store in brussels wher he gives workshops!!! So u can learn some of his skills out there.
I let his work speak for itselfs. Hope u love it as well!

And here is my own interpretation (supercrappy sketch)

One of my favourite programs on tv is O.C.C. on Discovery Channel. You can follow the entire construction from drawings till finished bike. I can tell you it's awesome to see this process. O.C.C is a FAMILY COMPANY.

Sometimes U hear some serious arguments between father and son PAUL sr or Mikey against PAUL jr is hard metal vs harder metal.But hey, these grizzlybears have a good heart. A lot of their incomes are pumped into charity.
They've also build a firebike in great remeberence of the 9/11 heroes.
Some themebikes are absolutely crazy. I could watch them building a Comanche Bike (high-end helicopter). Paul jr is a very sharp observator and he puts all his heart in working out the details he has spotted.
He mostly works together with his best friend Vinnie.It's pure craftmanship cause they fight with metal to fold and bend it in every shape they want. This is modern art.
WANNA BUY ONE???

Make sure U've got enough cash cause ART got it's price(40à50.OOO$)Some moviestars are the lucky owners of such a monster (Will Smith /Bill Murray,...)

Sneak preview 2D-drawings hotelproject

2006-12-18T16:56:00.000Z

I finally made some sketches for the first room.I want to create a Golden S8.
Golden floor,cream-colored leather and suede,yellow glass,white honeycolored oak.
Loungy curves, nice light-ornaments,... very BLING

My project is seriously delayed because I'm fighting against a very agressive liver-disease. Works allready started (the demolition team!). But I"m happy that I could design some bits and peaces while watching discovery channels GREEN VALLEY RANCH CASINO(LAS VEGAS off course). This place is far beyond cool. the WHISKEY lounge bar gave me the right inspiration.ALSO:The charlatan tent during "the gentse fieste"(thanx Gerald (owner charlatan)for giving me some detailed information), the culture club Gent (hippest club in the world) Took my bruynzeel pencils and my rotrings. Found out that staedler is much better.Rotrings really suck sometimes.

So tada... here is a very secret sneak previeuw. The hotel owner shouldn't know this!

First drawing: lounge unit with from left to right: mini bar, sofas, bed and nighttable.Above this unit there's this bow wich contains B&W dolby surround system and light ornaments(Foscarini).(Frontal 2D sight)

Second drawing: bathroom(Duravit! thanx for the fat catalogue) wall with build in cupboards and Sony plasma TV(Frontal 2D sight)

More updates will come up soon (i do hope so!)

FAVOURITE SNEAKERS

2006-12-08T10:36:00.000Z

Sneakers are a must in our daily lives. We prefer to wear the most trendy stuff.And yes I love these HIP looking designer garments. My all time favourites are the ADIDAS' (always had a pair of these since I was little).But I've also got a very stylish pair of PUMAS and they are fantastic.Strong and elegant as the black panther itself. No wonder that I Like both brands. Cause they're founded by two brothers.

Mr Rudolf Dassler founded schufabrik PUMA AG in Herzogenaurach(Germany,Beieren 1948) and his brother,Adolf Dassler started ADIDAS at the same time.

They became worlds biggest sneakerproducers(2nd and 3rd place, Nike is n°1)
The brand has a very good marketing strategy and the publicity is HOT.

They maintain this topposition by attracting top-designers like Alexander van Slobbe (Restyled Vintage Collection)who RE-interpreted the theme "wooden shoe" (dutch=klompen)

They have collections for the common citizen, but they also have some pretty exclusive lines (€300+). They also make very High-tech shoes for motorsports or F1-RACING Teams (RENAULT)But every shoe is an absolute peace of art.And the most funny thing is that you can design and buy your own pimped shoes at the mongolian shoe BBQ. It is presented as a buffet and you can pick the "ingredients" with a pair of tongs. Check it out

FASHION PART 2: Kaat Tilley

2006-11-27T17:05:00.000Z

I wanted to post this earlier. I'm allready impressed by this flamish miraclewoman for several years. I can only describe her work with the word: angelical.

I recently got a small book with pictures fom her home-interior and it breathes the same atmosphere as her collections.She lives in a 12th century mill with her two daughters. A house with a clear female touch. Very dreamy but warm and cosy.

For me fashion is a bit the same as interior-architecture. I draw the spaces u live in with the decorations and materials wich you prefer. Kaat for example draws and develops the clothes you live IN with your favourite fabrics.It's all about showing your interests, your dreams, your wishes and longings and most important: feeling happy with your own choices in your specific, unique style-language.

LAST WEEK-END I VISITED MY LITTLE BROTHER WHO LIVES IN ANTWERP. IT'S THE FASHION-CAPITAL OF THE WORLD AND IT'S ALL OVER THE PLACE.IN EVERY STREET,ON EACH CORNER,...

FASHION SHOULD BE LIKE POETRY.IT MOVES YOU TO A FANTASY WORLD. AS AN ADOLESCENT I WAS OBSESSED BY LABELS. I WAS COVERED WITH CROCODILES AND NAMES.EVERY BRAND CREATES ITS OWN UNIVERSE. I KNEW ALL THIS PLACES, NICE BUT SURREAL...THIS SUMMER I STEPPED INTO A LACOSTE SHOP IN BARCELONA AND IT WAS A PURE NOSATALGIC MOMENT.hmmm lOVELY

THE FRENCH MISS CADINE,WHO MOVED TO ANTWERP(yes)!!!, HAS A KEEN EYE FOR THIS.
SHE KNOWS EXACTLY HOW TO COMBINE THE RIGHT INGREDIENTS TO BRING YOU TO AN UNKNOWN PARADISE.HER OWN IMAGINARY KINGDOM . LUXURIOUS FABRICS WITH EXCLUSIVE DETAILS AND THE RIGHT ATMOSPHERE. STILISSIMO. I STILL LIKE IT.

HIP-DESIGNER-HOTELS

2006-10-29T13:26:00.000Z

I have a new project for school. I have to design 3 hotelrooms in 3 different styles. I have to invent a hole new concept. I have to find a theme ASAP and I can tell u, it's not easy. Lot's of good ideas, but it has to be original, and there R allready so many good hotels. Found some inspiration on this sites. Check them out cause they're hot. I mean you definitely want to sleep there.I wonder if U can really sleep there, being surrounded with all this exciting and crazy stuff.
For example the hotel Puerta America in Madrid,Spain.

PUERTA AMERICA

ARCHITECTS like Miss Zaha Hadid, David Chipperfield, Norman Foster, Jean Nouvel,Marc Newson, Ron Arad, ... became part of this Dream Team of the biggest names in design and building and each of them could create and build an entire floor.

Or this italian Duomo Hotel in Rimini,
DUOMOHOTEL
designed by Ron Arad is also pretty sick.

Further I found some nice pics on the famous Hip Hotels site
Find yourself a nice hotel room. HIPHOTELS

2006-10-22T12:06:00.000Z

Italy has a long history and tradition in design. Often it started out from a small family business. Today this companies are huge manufacturies, but still they produce their objects with love and soul. Brands like Moroso, BBitalia,Capellini,Kartell,
MDFitalia,Flexform,,Campeggi,Minotti,Rossi di Albizzate,...
Some chairs are practical and funny like the air-pouf(hoover and seat), some are just made as for the artistic and esthetic values. This is a selection of Italian Brainwaves.2 B CONTINUED.?.

SIGUR ROS

I recently discovered this band on my favourite radio channel: studio brussels
It's a band from Iceland and you can hear it. They play landscapes instead of songs.

Check this videoclip out.It's beautiful, but yeah I'm an emotianal fish. Hope you've installed a realplayer yet.On the site you click on the sirkus button and then you choose your player

Maarten Van Severen 1956-2005

2006-10-07T09:48:00.000Z

Actually I decided 2 study interior-architecture after visiting an exposition from this Belgian designer. I could see his drawings, touch his prototypes and feel his products.It really gave me the right boost to develop my talents. Unfortunately I couldn't meet him anymore cause he died the day(21/02'05)before. I was really shocked.Belgium lost a great artist. He was a craftsman.He purified and shaped his ideas untill they were similiar 2 his mindsets. You can see very clearly that his designs are very flat, well he first literally carved them out of the material(wood). He was an innovator, an experimentor.I Post-admire this strong-willed man. 4 3 Years he studied architecture at my school (yes I'm proud to be a student of the ST-LUCAS ACADEMY in Ghent).Once the fundament was layed he could find his own way.It's a SUCCES - story of persistence, working hard to become what he was made 4. This man is an example 4 me.

TADAO ANDO

2006-10-06T10:54:00.000Z

This is a very remarkable Japanese architect.His buildings are very recognizable cause he always works with one measure : The tatami ( judomat).It's a rectangular(90cm by 180cm), in concrete, with 4 or 6 holes in it. If you see a building with this trademark you can be sure that this is a creation of Master-architect TADAO ANDO.He even made a small bird -house with this tatami (see picture above).
He loves to play with glass and light. He likes to combine his buildings with a nice pond,waterparties or plants. It's very basic, but never cold.I was surprised by that when I visited one of his masterpieces in the insel-hombroich foundation(see link nature&art foundation) in Germany. He is very succesfull, especially since he won the pritzker price in 1995.

LA VOITURE

2006-09-13T12:57:00.000Z

I'm sure I can fill an entire blog with cars, cause I'm a CAR FREAK.When I was 4,5 I asked my mom to read the names of the cars we saw on our way to school. The advantage was that I could read when I was very young. The love for cars is enclosed in my DNA. My father passed it to me and my brothers, and even my sister is a car -addict. In our family we all drive Citroën. So that makes us true CITROFIELS. My favourite is the DS.She's a beauty QUEEN. I also like the new MINI-project. Italian cars are created by the most talented car designers. To draw a woman like that is to now a woman in all her mysterious ways. That's why I respect these designers so much. Here is a selection of sensual curves and lines. For your eyes only(OO7)baby.

holidays in france

2006-09-05T13:40:00.000Z

Spend my holidays in the south of france, near Carcassonne.It's a city for Bravehearts and Romantic Souls. Fabulous. This region (Corbière/Languedoc)has the most productive vineyards and is therefore a masterpiece.

While visiting Carcassonne, I accidently walked in by an exposition from Gerard Sioen. His oeuvre is a characteristic representation of this divine part of France

Mr.RASHID

SINCE 5 OR 6 YEARS I'VE FOLLOWED UP THE CREATIONS OF THIS VERY PRODUCTIVE DESIGNER. HIS PRODUCTS CONNECT WITH THE CHILD WITHIN ME CAUSE HE USES CANDY-COLORS,CURVES AND GRAPHS THAT APPEAL 2 ME. GOD HAS A LOT OF HUMOR AND I'M SURE HE HAS A GOOD LAUGH WHEN HE LOOKS 2 THE WORKS OF HIS BELOVED CREATION,MR KARIM RASHEED.

Miss Zaha Hadid

2006-08-13T12:08:00.000Z

I THOUGHT,the iraqi architect,MISS ZAHA HADID DESERVES SOME EXTRA ATTENTION. She's the first female architect ever, who won the prestigious PRITZKER Architect Price(2004)! She can compete with Mr Toyo Ito and therefore she's an associate from him.Her designs r AB FAB. If you ever wondered how a kitchen would look like in 21O6, this is a close or approximate model made in Corian for DUPONT and I think some "deep-as- the-sea-richgirls" allready boil an egg on it(haha).Check this link if u want to learn more about her

2 ALL DESIGNLOVERS : Mr. TOYO ITO

2006-08-11T13:48:00.000Z

Mr.Toyo ITO, is one of the most talented architects on this planet.His organic projects are strongly inspired by nature (forest, sealife,.... ) I really admire his creations. Here are some nice pictures from this remarkable person and also from one of his associates (Miss Zaha Hadid). In Belgium (Brugge)we've got a nice bridge from Mr.Ito.

I'm proud to live in Ghent

2006-07-18T14:03:00.000Z

Ghent is by far the most beautiful city of Belgium. It's not big, but it is packed with wonderful old buildings.

Each year in July we have a 10 days of BIG FUN : de Gentse fieste. It's unique in the world.

Enjoy the views

Green is so fresh

2006-07-13T10:45:00.000Z

I praise God for all the green. It looks so fresh after the rain. It's a pleasure to walk in it, to feel it, I can't get enough of it.

2006-07-02T09:48:00.000Z

PAST MY EXAMS SUCCESFULLY AND WENT 2 MY EXPOSITION AND EXPOS OF OTHER ST-LUCAS (INTERIOR-)ARCHITECT STUDENTS.

IT'S AMAZING HOW ALL THIS PEOPLE CREATE AN INTERNAL ABSTRACTION OF WHAT THEY OBSERVE IN THEIR DIRECT ENVIRONMENT. GOD GAVE US MANY BEAUTIFUL THINGS THAT WE CAN SEE. BUT I THINK WE'LL BE SURPRISED WHEN WE SEE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL,...FACE2FACE WITH OUR GOD.LET THE KINGDOM COME,...
