During the pandemic freedom is restrained. Our apartments became spaces where we are cloistered. A film festival like Black Movie which has a diverse, multicultural and international program, can be an escape. When you don’t travel anymore, when you are restrained, cinema can become more than ever a second reality with endless possibilities. In this poster we illustrated this other infinite reality: buildings which are nailed to the ground, in black and white, with immense, vibrant and surreal sky that opens itself above them.
goud hemel roze honing a portrait of my Dutch husband
The gold of his hair, the heaven of his eyes, the roze of his skin, and the honey of his beard: my personal interpretation of the concept of “the Other” using color as a medium between the subjective world of sensation and the objective world of fact.

Call for Entries—Mut zur Wut 2021
The Call for Entries—Mut zur Wut 2021 just startet and you can upload your posters to the international competition’s website until April 30th!
Mut zur Wut is back! … And will start this year with its first biennale edition after taking the last year off and will continue to take place every two years from now on.
What a crazy last year it has been and as we enter the second decade of the 21st century, our world may seem turbulent and heated. Public discourse is often one-sided and fierce, and governments seem ill-prepared to properly deal with the changing political landscape.
In such times of turmoil, it is both challenging and immensely valuable to act in a level-headed, solution-oriented, and compassionate manner. As creatives, we have a special gift that society can benefit from, especially when things get turbulent: creatives are able to render and communicate ideas in a way that transcends all boundaries, be they language, cultural identity, age, gender, or belief system.
Anger should not push us to the outer wings of the political spectrum! Let us channel it and use it in a visually constructive way to inspire healthy discourse. Be creative, be bold, be honest!
As always, the contest’s process for submission is completely free of charge and uncomplicated for the creators. Your posters can simply be uploaded onto the contest’s website. The 30 most striking submissions will be displayed from mid-July until the end of August 2021 in the public space, certain areas in different cities, and hopefully again in multiple exhibitions.
The Team of Mut zur Wut hopes to receive many great submissions, from many beautiful places, and wonderful people and looks forward to presenting a fresh selection of visual dynamite in the streets this summer!

Colorful daemons
It’s nice to know you’re not alone. Our colorful demons are always on our side and bring hope and courage, even in dark times. The unknown girl lets them out, when she needs to and brings light into the chaos.
Flaam Festival 2019
Every year we start our first meeting with the Flaam festival team with a question – what can we do differently than everyone else? In 2019 we stretched this idea into the whole identity. Looking at line-ups of all the huge festivals with their vaguely edited photos of each artist, we came up with an idea to create completely new, custom visuals for our artists that resulted into a series of 22 avatars, each representing the individual artist’s name, mood or vibe while retaining a single style. The avatars were implemented across all the visual applications such as the website, merchandise or tickets.
Color. Inside. Lines.
This work explores the innate qualities of the letterforms in the word “color,” while utilizing a rainbow effect to carry the reader inward. The composition resolves in “r” for red.
Cyberplants
Biological designs, far from realistic nature. Cyberplants are visual explorations of biology and technology. A future version of botany that is alive and has capabilities. A tribute to the beauty and diversity of nature, with the question of what potentials could be in the future of biology. Animated posters: https://vimeo.com/manage/videos/444685803

The prints are designed in three or four layered colors: blue, bright red, green, fluorescent pink, yellow and black.
Fumetto 2019
The poster was designed for the famous International Comic Festival Fumetto Lucerne. It is one of the most important platform for comic artists all over the world. Out of the visual vocabulary of the comic, C2F has developed picture elements that are combined playfully and changeable with the pictures of the artists. The graphically reduced spatiality refers directly to the festival: the comic leaves its usual format, the magazine or book, and is restaged in the room. For this poster, they choosed artworks from Keiichi Tanaami and sampled them together.
¡A Las Barricadas!
Poster design, digital drawing, 30x40cm: ¡A las Barricadas! is a call to action and the anthem of spanish anarchists during the Spanish Civil War against Franco. It still is the anthem of the anarcho-syndicalist union. In my work I concentrate on explaining anarchism as for most people anarchy means only chaos but of course there is more to anarchism and anarchy than that.
Letterpeloton

All my works are an attempt to use vector graphics as a non-digital tool. Posters for me are like impressionist’s paintings where layers of information multiply and overlap, creating clear, sharp, concrete but also vague images.

Raw Realities, Sweet Dreams
The world is upside down due to the global pandemic. That’s why we’d better focus on the sweet things in life and not let the raw reality get us down.

Banzai Skateboards Relaunch
Hi guys! I hope you’re well. Figured this project might suit the colours issue… It’s the relaunch of legendary 1970s skateboard brand which we directed and which strictly revolved around the five original board colours. Attached is an project PDF which gives a quick overview. Packaging / Artists / Website & Posters were all linked to one particular color. In case you find it interesting, let us know and we’ll send the actual material. All the best! David
