My pub carpets at Tate Liverpool!

I am beyond excited to announce that I will be taking my pub carpets to TATE (!) Liverpool for an installation on the evening of 12 April. To celebrate their current Op Art exhibition I’ll be creating visuals, using my collection of pub carpet pics, to accompany a (binaural) soundscape by Phil Channell (whose brilliant work you might have heard on the BBC podcast Death in Ice Valley).

Hot Jazz

This Sunday 3 May my better half Casper is putting on another night of New Orleans jazz at one East London's most friendly pubs the Eleanor Arms. So I whipped up a little banner for his event. As part of the Dixie Nomands you will find Casper playing his double bass, as well as the tuba, Bodo Maier on trumpet, Jules Cowie on guitar and Cosimo Keita Cadore on drums...

‘Borrel’ in Toronto

I recently got commissioned to make some drawings of typical Dutch dishes for a pop-up restaurant in Toronto, Canada. Every Sunday afternoon from 1 till 6 pm Dutchman Justin and his Canadian fiancé Alison host a 'borrel' in bar The Ossington on Ossinton Avenue. 'Borrel' is the Dutch word for having drinks. A 'borrel' is always 'gezellig'...

Pub Carpet Crawl #6

It's been far too long since I've organized a Pub Carpet Crawl. Though the last two London crawls were loads of fun, they were not very successful in terms of carpet-count, so I think I had been demotivated a bit by this... But a feature in the December issue of KLM's inflight magazine Holland Herald (yes yes!!!) should be celebrated with another crawl!!

Live senior punk rock life drawing

Totally random but highly enjoyable evening in the backroom of The Royal Oak in Cardiff last Friday, where several bands performed for Big Scott's show on Cardiff Radio. My mate Matt from Quiet Marauder (who gave a brilliant performance themselves that night) joined these old geezers on percussion. One guy was sound asleep throughout their entire set haha.

Pub Carpet Crawl #2 – Now that the mist has cleared

I wasn’t sure if the second edition of the Pub Carpet Crawl could top the magical first crawl, but much to my relief this edition has really lived up to the high expectations! To be honest, it was somewhat disappointing on the carpet side, but this has been fully compensated by other unexpected finds and happenings. Now that – after three days – the mist has cleared I can tell you our story… F

PUB CARPET CRAWL #2

After a truly EPIC first edition, it is my pleasure to announce Pub Carpet Crawl #2!! On Saturday March 31st we will set out for the area of Roath in Cardiff. The route looks promising, with pubs ranging from charming locals to ‘interesting’ dives… We’ll meet up at 18.30 at the pub with the swankiest toilets in Wales (really a must-see, despite having no carpet!): The Ernest Willows on City Ro

Pub Carpet Crawl #1 – The Lowdown

Wow, the first Pub Carpet Crawl has really been a big success!! Despite the dreadful weather over 20 people turned up to brave the pubs on the notorious Canton Mile in Cardiff. It has been a pleasure for the eyes in many ways, as you will see for yourself in the pictures below. It was also successful in the sense that nobody got the ‘up-close carpet experience’, we only lost one man along the way and nobo

PUB CARPET CRAWL #1

The Britons love carpet in public places. I admit, it does add a homey feel to the place (pub, train, cinema, casino, TOILET!). But to most people from the Continent the idea is just disgusting. Think of all the dirt and filth that gets absorbed by it! Now I've come up with a theory...
