O-Ren Ishii
Personal work / fan-art
After rewatching Kill Bill, many years later, I saw this movie with a different set of eyes. What a flick, so many beautiful scenes. It got me inspired to make a little hommage of the animation scene of one of the characters: O-Ren Ishii.

Made this fun drawing as a thank you for photographer Benny Emmerich, who captures us perfectly every time.
Unity
These are my writings to understand more about being. I also understand that I’m absolutely ignorant, so don’t take these words of thought as Truth.
All of us have the exact same essence, but personal experiences plus programming by our parents, caretakers, and their whole line of ancestry, create ‘identity’.
Identity has a hierarchical layered structure which ranking is fluid.… Read the rest
3/3 True Self
Who I am
FIRST STAGE REALISATION OF ‘TRUE’ SELF – 3/3
_____________
This one right here is exactly what I experienced during my first DMT-exploration, one year ago. It took me all this time to really visualise it. I couldn’t understand it, I still don’t understand shit. All I know was that it was more real than real.… Read the rest
Old Future Folk #5
I’m often fascinated how tribalism works these days.
We see people stand strong by their ideologies, choosing sides, convinced by their truths. We see some of us being against all form of stereotypes and categories, therefor they create all new stereotypes and categories, convinced that everybody needs to be accepted, except the people that won’t accept.… Read the rest
Old Future Folk #4
Making this one I was thinking about how we will grow old with social media and future technologies. Seeing 12-year olds using instagram is exciting man. Being from the 80’s I recall ringing doorbells to ask if my friends are home to go play outside and physically turn the dail when I needed to make a call, stuck to a wire ☎️.… Read the rest
Old Future Folk #3
I’m enjoying making these Old Future Folk series man, and happy to see you guys do too! So much gratitude!
That being said, I was watching that new Streetfood documentary on Netflix and saw these beautiful elders in Yogyakarta and Osaka. Did you see it? Go check it, it’s dope.
But that ikigai spirit in combination with the warmth and love these people have for their craft, community and customers is deeply touching.… Read the rest
Old Future Folk #2
In continuation on my fictional old future folk series 👵🏽👴🏽;
I was wondering, as technology gets smaller and smaller, how do we treat gadgets in a few decades? Will we really want them to become invisible as we implement them on and in our bodies, in the form of apps and augmented reality thru lenses or brain wave receptors?… Read the rest
Old Future Folk #1
I’ve been orking on some portraits of fictional old future people 👴🏽👵🏽. Growing old fascinates me, especially within our ‘age’ where current 30-year olds might turn 150 or older due to genetic technologies like CRISPR and our western underappreciation of death.
Not trying to sound macabre or as a creepy old Ed Gein skull collecting dude, but I mean there is a certain beauty in aging and the inevitability of dying right?… Read the rest

1/3 Thought.
This is the first part of my manifestation triptych experimental piece: Thought / Word / Deed. Some say that to manifest a desired outcome we start with the Thought, follow with the Word and end with the Deed. Some say we can already experience a desired outcome by proceeding in the reversed order.… Read the rest

While in between commissions and enjoying the sun, I’m working on some new ideas for a new serie! 🙂👺💃🏽.
HANUMAN – Heritage Series
