So if you ever want to have a healthy, yummy food, your kids occupied for hours, while learning something about chemistry and make some art all at the same time, I have something for you. I read in a children

Books and readers have always been part of my art. I strongly promote knowledge, in my imagination. Characters and backgrounds of my artworks are often about reading and knowledge. Of course, it's just

☙ Today I want to show you a painting I made from December 2023 until March 2024. Inspired from the beautiful lower side of the Daedalea quercina Mushroom I found one day (and some Stereum fungi), I decided

☙ When I saw all these magnolia buds lying all over the grass, looking like little ears made of soft gray fur, I knew there was going to be a new experiment. I collected maybe a hundred or two of them

☙ After making my "book lanterns", I didn't stop experimenting with tea bags, dried plants and... my new favorite natural material, cherry tree gum. First, let me talk a little about this type

☙ Hello folks! This time I want to show you another beautiful upcycling project that was so much fun and cost almost nothing. It started when I found a video of someone recycling used (yes, the bags are

☙ Hello everybody! It´s been a while, almost a year, since my last post. I wasn´t lazy, quite the reverse! But I didn´t spend so much time at the computer (only for work) and that felt so good. So I´m

🌿 A few weeks ago I was inspired to build my own "Book nook". This is a kind of diorama that you can place between your books as an ornament or bookend. I quickly collected the material, mostly

🌿 Oh my! Now it´s been 2 years since I officially made a new picture which I would call "artwork". Many things happened in the meantime - I wasn´t lazy. I have done a lot of parenting work with my children,

☆ Five months have passed, now it´s time for new pictures, isn´t it? I haven´t felt like making anything for too long, now my energy is slowely coming back and I hope it will stay for a while. What you

This song is from my alter ego Mitch van Picklock where I pay tribute to the glorious 80s. In this track, I combine heavy guitars with some cheesy synths and catchy melodies. Shooting the video was a lot

☙ Thanks to @desro I noticed the POB Photo Contest this week - subject: Textures. Since I have a soft spot textures and even have a personal stock folder of different textures, I like to participate as

Keep on rockin' in the Free World! I recorded the music to this Neil Young classic last year and shot the video in January. I loved how the synths and E-Drums add a strong 80s vibe to this tune. And I
