To day or not to day #34: Graphic designer and artist Jan Bons died at the age of 94 in Amsterdam last week. To me he was one of the greatest inspirators in perfection of simplicity – "Straight line, warped. Painless full hit."

Hans Spekman is a Dutch Labour Party politician. His arrogant comments about the recent government coalition agreement caused a lot of criticism.

My characters are storytellers and messengers who tell an abstract and poetical story about the crisis with a focus on positive values.

There is a lot of understanding and good will in the employing of autistic persons within a regular company. They can function perfectly normal, however it requires a special attitude.
