Enkeling on Flickr

I started a Flickr account a while ago. There isn’t much to see there that isn’t on this site but it seems to be a nice way of finding a new audience.
You can, however, look at my work in a slideshow, which may be nice.

Libération toujours

French newspaper Libération mentioned me amongst other artists in this interesting article about spam as inspiration for the arts.
Written by Astrid Girardeau.
If your french is as good as mine you might want to feed the text into Babelfish or a similar translator.

Ankling

Sorbo here, Sorbo there


In my neverending quest for weird techniques to make drawings I found the Sorbo® Quick & Easy. “The Sorbo® Quick & Easy is more than just a washing-up brush! This handy washing-up brush is fitted with its own reservoir and measured dosage pump enabling you to apply always the right amount of washing-up liquid.” Of course I filled it with ink instead of soap. Turns out to be great for creating backgrounds as in enkeling.nl or arbeidsmarkt. Yesterday I filled it with a combination of wine and acrylic paint. Combined with the residue of ink it created an interesting effect.
