Don’t you agree that autumn in the Netherlands has been lovely so far? The colours of the trees were amazing. The Vondelpark in Amsterdam looked like it was on fire constantly. Walks in the park inspired the new series of ads for HKWJ/Triple Eight. Orange is the new black:)!

Anyone having a love/hate relationship with their bed? I do, every night I have trouble sleeping and that drives me crazy sometimes. But those hours of thinking, while waiting for dreams to come, also resulted in some awesome ideas in the past. A quote that totally made sense to me: “Insomnia is a glamorous term for thoughts you forgot to have during the day” (Alain de Botton). It works both in a positive and negative way for me I would say. Any fellow night-peeps who want to share some insights on Insomnia and inspiration?

“Be regular and orderly in your life, so that you may be violent and original in your work” (Gustave Flaubert) More and more I experience the truth in these words. The beautiful watercolor-painting I found here reminds me of my former neighbor… 73 year old artist Maria Beatriz, who is still working steady every single day (and never stopped wearing shocking pink and red by the way;-)). A great example of living out creative discipline.
“Light is the most mesmerizing metaphor in human civilization. It is about the joy of truth, benevolence, enlightenment as well ass the epiphany of wisdom and talent. This is also about the things that cannot be seen with the naked eye. Light does not exist in a tangible, material world. It is a beacon guiding the relentless pursuit of meaning.” – Quote Paper museum Taipei
