And she said the word, and the word was Pink.

A couple of weeks ago, a friend spilled some strange and fruity beverage on her bathroom kitchen floor. This fact was related to me through a social network and for some reason, started me thinking about how cute it would look to turn that situation into a Pinupish Girl.

So, have this work in progress. Any resemblance to persons living or pink is fully coincidental.

"Oppsie… I went and turned the world pink, didn't I?"

UPDATE: quoth the culprit in protest "kitchen! it was my kitchen! and just 'cause I shook the smoothie as requested on the package! and just in case you're interested: it was a banana-strawberry-apple-smoothie!" . So kitchen it is. And you know what to avoid if you have no interest in pink.

You may, faithful reader, also have noticed the sparsity of recent posts around here. I have started a new job as a concept guy in January and am being kept nicely busy with that for the last couple of weeks. So in a way, this sketch also marks the end of my In-Shop doodling (I'll miss that huge Wacom I had there…) and spills over into a new era.

Thanks for bearing with me for as long as you have and as usual, more to come.

IGAF: Utopia- Les Jours Meilleurs

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote this post, titled Dystopia , containing a dark version of the future, a look at the negative outcomes that might crawl out of the COVID-19 crisis. It has, by now been described as "9/11 in slow motion". Someone else broke a golden editorial rule to describe it as "2008 on crack". Media outlets, including Youtube, have warned of the long-term effects of this, on civil rights, labour and employment, surveillance and press freedom. And some, most notably Mr Orban of Hungary, have used this excellent opportunity to pass new, restrictive legislation that concentrates power in their hands. There have been calls for the elusive COVID cure not to be patented. And yet… And yet… It's easy to lose yourself in a media bubble, following the news and media 24/7, following, queuing in line to get into expensive shops, just walking into discount stores and the constant desire for many drinks (preferably with 10 friends or more, in a park...

IGAF: Disappearing the inconvenient.

This IGAF (Is Goodness a Fashion) series explores, from a non-expert point of view, the social, economic and narrative ramifications I see developing from the COVID-19 crisis, worries, but also hopes for a future that the current shock to the system may result in. It's a pity that random things happen when random people interact. That a person might be exposed to unexpected, or unpleasant sights when they leave the house. That we might see trash, homeless people, the effects of gentrification, closed stores in polluted streets, trees withered by mercurial weather, people in environmental suits, afraid of the diseases lurking within the safe confines of those suits. The world divided into those who have to face the streets, the Outside, and those who are safe Inside. It's a pity that these still interact. Our measure as a species that claims moral, ethical and intellectual hegemony over this planet will be two-fold as we deal with the COVID-19 crisis: On the one hand, socie...
