Gentse Feesten. Poster n°2

June 25, 2012

Spent this weekend typesetting poster n°2. The poster should inform about steamroller printing event organized by the museum during the Gentse Feesten in collaboration with Topo Copy. The idea is to make a typographic poster in combination with a linocut illustration of steamroller (which is nearly finished by now).

A little unhappy about some details, so will be making some changes tomorrow.

Changes are made and it is ready for print which will follow at the end of this week.

Poster n°2. Printing the linocut on cylinder press. Went very smooth and we had no errors at all (huge difference between all that work we had to do for the first poster). So what we have to do next it is let it dry and print the second color (blue) tomorrow. I have a good feeling about the outcome and hope it will go as fast as it was today:)
Big thanks to Patrick for the help.

Type walk in Ghent. Before & after. Marchandises & stories.
March 28, 2026

Tucked away near Sint-Jacobsplein in Ghent once stood a place that many locals still remember with a certain nostalgia: Marchand’10. The name Marchand’10 (Marchandise) — French for “merchant” — suited the place perfectly. This was never just a shop, but a world of its own. It felt more like wandering into a densely packed cabinet of curiosities.

Type walk in Ghent. Before & after or from lace to lunch: the changing story of Kraanlei 33.
January 6, 2026

It’s been quite a while since I started my Sunday type walks. What began as a simple stroll through the city—my only free day as a self-employed graphic designer—quickly became a way to move, clear my head, and indulge my long-standing fascination with typography in all its forms. Whenever I arrive in a new city, I instinctively take a type walk; the streets are full of hidden typographic gems, waiting to be discovered.

From 24 January to 23 February 2026, the participants of this year’s Long Live the Black Art programme will take over a small exhibition space at the Museum of Industry in Ghent.
They’ll be showing a mix of personal work and their final projects from the programme — not just polished prints, but also glimpses into how those prints came to be. Think process, materials, experiments, and the decisions made along the way.

Letterpret or Alphabet Cards
November 29, 2025

The wood-type collection at the Museum of Industry in Ghent is exceptional, and I’m lucky to work with it every day. Typesetting cards and posters, pulling prints in the museum’s workshop — even after all these years I’m still discovering new, curious, and beautifully worn pieces in the drawers.
