Well that was nice. Yesterday MOVIE INK. officially opened and the first exhibition is launched. It was quite tough to decide what to have as an exhibition as the gallery is quite small. Also it had to be something that encapsulates what MOVIE INK. should be, that is fun with …
The Importance Of Being Artist
Pretty close to the opening of MOVIE INK. now, but I have to put in this entry first of some recent acquisitions. One of the more pleasing aspects of European movie posters is that the artist or studio responsible for the artwork often is credited on the poster. I like …

To Conquer Fear Is The Beginning Of Wisdom
And why not quote Bertrand Russell as a tag line for a few recent acquisitions. Of course Russell meant something more than just overcoming fear in a controlled environment as a movie theatre. Fear is one of man’s primal emotions. It’s negative and brings loss of control. Overcoming fear is …
Coming soon! MOVIE INK. The Gallery
I took a few snaps of the future workspace of MOVIE INK. in the Palmdwarsstraat 40 in Amsterdam. I’m sharing the space with a friend of mine. She uses the top part for her BEADS HEAVEN jewelry workshops, I use the entree for the exhibitions and other miscellaneous activities. We …

Scorsese In Osdorp (3)

Scorsese In Osdorp (2)
Here part 2 of my article for the Filmjaarboek 2010-2011. MUSE “One could have an aspiration of making a film about impressions or feeling, emotions. But they have to be translated through a very primitive piece of equipment and they have to be as ephemeral as your dreams. Yet, it …

Greetings From Hollywood (2)
Either WordPress does not allow multiple galleries in a single entry or I’m an even bigger computer illiterate than I thought. Anyway I wasn’t quite ready yet with all my new posters. Other favourites of mine were also included in the tube I received. Terry Gilliam and the Coen Brothers …
Greetings From Hollywood (1)
This week I finally got my package from Hollywood. That’s Hollywood, Florida I should add.

Modern posters …
