Visueel dagboek van Michael Minneboo.
Saturday, 2:30 pm
Walking down the stairs at Tuschinski, the greatest cinema in Amsterdam, after watching a very interesting documentary with Liselotte. ‘Getuige 1 Minuut’, the new film by Hans Heijnen.
Having a coffee with Marcella at a crowded De Balie. We are sitting on a lovely couch, very relaxing. I look left towards the door enjoying my caffè latte, while Marcella is talking about her little kid. A great way to spend some time on a cold Friday afternoon.
Friday afternoon
Tourists posing at the ‘I Amsterdam’ Sign at the Museum Square
Roemer Visscherstraat, 2:30 pm
Ilse teaches our colleagues a lesson, in how to use the camera that is.
A few weeks ago:
Now:
Some people say that there are too many pigeons in Amsterdam. And I agree: a lot of them are sick. Its not quite a scene from ‘The Birds’ yet, but when you walk on Dam square and a big group of pigeons fly at you at eye level, it sometimes seems like it. Still, this little cozy scene gave me a happy feeling.
Part two of Matt’s Birthday Bash in Utrecht.
Saturday Matt Baay, a comic book artist and a friend of mine, celebrated his 32 birthday. In a gay bar in Utrecht, as usual. It was a lot of fun.
Here’s the birthday boy himself.
Rob is auditioning as a modern type of Robin, the Boy Wonder.
Euh… no comment. But it looks like Rob and Paul are playing the old gay bar game find the nipple or something. Marloes is the referee.
OBA, 5:00 pm
Comic book artist Jeroen Funke reads the story of Mariken van Nimwegen during the opening of the exhibition Mooi is dat at the OBA. (See the video-reportage I made here.) Oh Jeroen is dressed up as the devil, this is not his usual attire. At least I think its not. Who knows, maybe he dresses up like the devil all the time.
Janskerk, 1:00 pm
At the Kunststripbeurs (comic book art fair) in Utrecht, comic book artist Dio strikes a pose? Or is he looking at some wall crawling spiderbabe?
By the way he also sells T-shirts like the one he’s wearing. I’ve got one too since Maarten van Rossem – the guy on the shirt – is a hero of mine.
Check out my video on the art fair here.
Theater Kikker, 12:00 pm
During the Holland Animation Film Festival my former professor Edwin Carels gave an interesting lecture on found footage animation. I interviewed him about it for the VPRO Gids. Check out the article here.
