An epic weekend at FAST. A big thanks to timmy, dirk and the lads for being so enthusiastic and showing me a rare side of Holland, editing is underway.
Video testing for an up coming shoot. I’m a total sucker for bokeh with moving images, a real rough edit, trying to figure out the best super slow motion technique, think I have to up the frame rate.
I was asked to do this video for Festival Mundial in Tilburg. The designs were done by Rosroos and printed at Katoenfabric. I had a blast making this video as the process was really interesting. Love their ideals of organic cotton, sustainable bamboo shirts and eco friendly chemicals. It was meant to be light but show the process of making the T’s.
I would recommend watching ” White gold the true price of cotton ” via Youtube. It might make you think twice.
Commission ive been working on, A0. been slack on the posts. A lot of new work is in the process so will up date it all when its complete.

Rabbit number 4, Seeing it is the chinese year of the rabbit, this piece as a whole will be a series of 12 rabbits, one for each month of the year, all detailed differently. Detailed with my concerns of rapid growth, technology and alarming exploitation of our natural resources.
This video I shot last year, only just allowed to release it. I wanted to document the making of the machine, because I thought it was so fucking great and very unique. This was originally meant to be released before the album to build up a bit of hype around this weird awesome master piece, it was made by a musical madman and genius Geert.
The location was at NDSM werf in Amsterdam at Geert’s epic workshop, I wanted the vibe to be a little creepy and mysterious, I wanted De Staat’s fans to be a little confused but curious. Every time I look at the huge metal rig, I think that it should be in a contemporary gallery somewhere. This beast lays down the beat on back to the grind.
The name came about when we were on the way home on the boat, we were discussing the machine and other things, I cant remember the exact details but I said something along the lines of, ”well..back to the grind next week.” Torre asked what does that mean? I said its a term in english for a hard repetitive cycle, a work cycle, day in day out, It becomes machine like, grinding away. I think it stuck from there on.
Cheers Saint and Frank.
