Zuiderzee Museum - NIJVER|heden

For the exhibition NIJVER|heden: Industrious Artefacts, the evolution of crafts we've been working on the signage and a booklet. The show runs from May 27th 2011 - February 12th 2012 at the Zuiderzee Museum in Enkhuizen.

For the design the Scratched Letter from 2003 was revived. We constructed the main titles of the show from yarn on wood.

I started drawing this letter to use on a silk screen poster. I got a bit carried away on the thin-lined details. On top of that I had to scale them down for the poster. These letters didn't make it to the poster. I finished the alphabet anyway, and will figure out a purpose for them at some point.







I'm trying out a Pilot 0.4 mm G-Tec-C4, which somebody gave to me after a lecture I held in The Hague. (You see nothing of the pen since I scanned it in Bitmap, but it's nice to have a sharp line and be able to press really hard while drawing without damaging the nip of the pen like you do with fine liners.)

Update - Doily Type

Added two more C's to Doily Type today.


I make several versions per letter to avoid using the same letter twice in one word. This is the collection up to now.
