THINGS THAT MAKE ME SMILE

Rad artwork by Natalie Nicklin.

In 1986 the artist Tyree Guyton started  The Heidelberg Project, as a creative way to respond to the decay in his neighborhood. He decorates the houses in his neighborhood with paint and salvaged objects found on the street.  I wish I could see this in real life so badly!  (source)

Typeface designed for doctors by Orion.  (source)

The DIY edition of La Sardina is a white version which can be drawn, painted or glued upon. Just imagine all the possibilities!  (source)

PARTY LIGHTS – the second edition

Last year, one of my friends threw an amazing party for his birthday, and this year it became a tradition as two other friends jumped in as fellow organizers.  (Next year I’m joining too!)  Just like when the first edition took place, the location looked stunning.  The boys outdid themselves!  Like I already mentioned on facebook, I brought my camera with me to capture the lovely  atmosphere.  I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I do!  By the way, the blog is a bit quiet these days due to my resits and the move to Portugal that keeps coming closer (one more week!), but you can still find updates on facebook and tumblr.

SUMMER IN THE CITY

Actually these photos were taken a long time ago, when the Belgian summer showed it’s face a little earlier than expected (and disappeared for way too long after that!)  Leuven can look so good when the sun shines!
