Shake hands with your friends in Boxmeer, NL
(2010_0731) De Vriendschap (The Friendship) is the new kid on the block in food wise Boxmeer, a small town in the province of Limburg, NL. Quailtiy fries and burgers from local produce and meat. To go, home delivery or a beautiful tasty plate for lunch or dinner in the restaurant. Appreciation of the owners for my weekly images in the Dutch Financial Journal turned into a screen print trip tych expressing three stages of friendship and a vignette of a hand shake for their logo. If you are in the area and ready for a bite or just want to make the trip out there, this is a recommendation. (click on pictures for enlargement)

Flowers flourish in Benson, Arizona
(2010_0712) Arnold's Flowers is a small flowershop on 4th Street (Busines I-10) in Benson, Arizona, for which I created a simple light box design and identity.Now the shop is painted in the same bright colors it stands out in the bland strip architecture of Benson's 4th Street.
Painting the word FLOWERS in 7 feet tall letters of my font Pacific Standard Bold makes it even more standing out and visible from a larger distance.

SR+O #4:Economics&Space
(2010_0809) S+RO 4 covers the relationship between space and economics. Economical growth has always been the financial force behind many urban and environmental developments. Simultaneously, uncontrolled and unorganized growth can be disastrous for spacial arrangements of a nation. Economics seem to be blind for its positive effects, because too often they only become visible on the longer term. This issue discusses the restrictions of economical thinking and the shortcomings of the government's environmental-economical policies. (KismanVerhaak)
SR+O #3: We City

Social groups like environmental institutions are more than particiation and lobby clubs, acting effectively as principals in area development. (KismanVerhaak)
SR+O #2: Megacities
