De Warmste Week with LEGO Dots.

December 22, 2024

The theme of this year's VRT's annual solidarity campaign is exploring and overcoming loneliness which is an increasingly common problem.

It was the first time that the Ghent museums joined forces for De Warmste Week. Extra guided tours, an afternoon full of special tea, or an extra puppet show brought in extra money, which was donated to the 276 projects of the De Warmste Week fund.

Sending a card with a positive message to friends and family will always cheer them up! So in addition to the existing range of cards, the Museum of Industry included an extra large card, printed in the printing department of the museum. The card features a flame made of LEGO Dots accompanied with the message 'Vurige wensen!' (Fiery wishes!), typeset with metal type by yours truly. Printed in 3 colours and 4 print runs on FAG 405. The proceeds went entirely to the De Warmste Week.

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.

Het Waterhuis aan de Bierkant is one of Ghent’s most recognizable cafés. With its large beer selection and sunny terrace along the water, it attracts locals and visitors from all over the world. But this is more than just a place to have a drink—it’s a building with a long and surprising history.

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

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.
