The latest news:

25.05.2010aaNew work has been added to the flyer and posters and drawing and sketches pages. And I've been doing some pattern design latetly, so I created a new category for it. I put the first two up, but more is soon to follow!

08.04.2010aaI recently took part in a project called Jazz Cakes 100: 100 t-shirts were handed out to 100 artists from various disciplines by Jazz Cakes, an artist collective based here in Cardiff. Each artist had to work with a designated number to create a piece from the starting point of this plain t-shirt. It took a while for the Jazz Cakes to retrieve all 100 shirts, but now the time has come to show the results! The exhibition opens this Saturday April 10 at gallery Studio B, 24 Tudor Lane (Riverside) in Cardiff. Drop by anytime from 18.00 till 23.00!

31.03.2010aaI've got a couple of drawings in the exhibition Fine Lines that runs from April 2 till May 1 in Dek22, Rotterdam. Eight women were invited by Nelleke Boerkool to show their drawings (no prints). The opening is Friday April 2 at 16.00. Geeske will be DJ'ing, there will be snacks and a little shop where you can buy clothes, booklets, zines and accesories.


28.03.2010aaDutch Dolls are returning to the Gwidhw bar tonight for some laidback tunes! Expect a fine blend of girl groups, soul, funk, ska, rocksteady, hip hop, 80's pop, Dutch and German gems. Vinyl only. Doubt there will be people dancing in their underwear like last time (Har Mar Superstar's afterparty), but please feel free... So come along tonight and put on some good looking knickers!!


26.03.2010aaToday was the last day of the Dutch Dolls workshop at the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam. For a week students worked on Zines: self published, DIY, low budget little magazines ('invented' in the 70s by the punks, popular with the riot grrls in the 90s and still amazingly alive and kicking today). We decided to do this the oldskool way: no computers!! We are so so pleased with the results, but even more with the students' enthusiasm and joy, and their will to experiment and work together!


14.03.2010aaThis past week I worked hard to finish the artwork for the Fields Apart EP by Cardiff based band Word Virus Essay. Its release is celebrated with a LAUNCH PARTY on March 26 at one of Cardiff best venues, Toucan. It will be a great night with the support of Skunkadelic and Dutch Dolls DJ'ing till the wee hours! Until then you can have a sneakpeek and -listen of the EP on their MySpace and Facebook page.


14.03.2010aaDrop by at the Singersweatshop in Rotterdam this afternoon for Get Wild & Restyled! Here you can trade your clothes for new ones, get your hair cut at a cheap price, and some styling advice to go with it. All this while you have a lovely cuppa and some delicious cake (provided by Augusta Wind) and Dutch Dolls tunes in the background!


18.02.2010aaIn 2008 I participated in Grow Ups, an exhibition of eleven young Dutch artists whose work moves between mature art and childlike fantasy. It was curated by Renee Reijnders and she now managed to get the show to JAPAN!! On Saturday March 6 the exhibition will be opened at the Center for Creative Communications ' in in Shizuoka.

10.12.2009aaDutch Dolls will make their DJ debut in Cardiff tomorrow at Mother Mae I, an electro night of mayhem at the Cardiff Arts Institute!!
