Please Do Not Blog Here

As any of us can tell, there are not enough signs in the streets telling you what is allowed and what is not. Especially in less common situations, the average citizen is left to himself. All the time you got to make hard decisions on your own, may I eat this salad and dolphin sandwich here – or not? Might I be hurting somebodys religious feelings? Is it allright if I incinerate myself here or could I be breaking the law in doing so? May I listen to bad hiphop music here? Or is even the consumption of good hiphop music considered an offense in this neighbourhood?


For the »Wall Of Statement« project I picked 12 of the more common problematic decisions of everyday life and ruled them once and for all. Once the european parliament has adopted my admittedly a bit stricter approach to public space rulings, I expect these 12 and at least ten times more signs to be put up in every european city. It is only a question of time until the united S of A follow.

Not Yet XMas

The guys from the akifeestcommissie are not only to few, they also got too much work to do. Who am I, therefore, to reject their plea for a well designed poster announcing their Bingo evening. To be exact, they needed two ones, the first as seen below to raise attention and keep people asking themselves what the crazy feestcommisie might have thought up now, the second one uncensored to give away all the information... click this:


Since the budget was small, it had to be printed in A3 black and white and was handcoloured thereafter. The font used for »Bingo« is, as you can see, the legendary »Black Frituur« (see last entry).
