NALDEN & MY ARTWORK

Wednesday, November 18th 2009

My homie Naldisney Dollars a.k.a. 'Young Blog Money Makerrr Mayne' asked me to be part of his 'One Night Stand' project. So I gave him a few of my paintings to showcase at his quick fast exhibition. At the same time Nalden was asked to be part of Vodafone's 360 Heroes project. He was filmed during his 'One Night Stand' and my work was strategically placed behind him the entire time he was filmed. Big up to Team VICE. That was a good look people. Check the teaser on YouTube. Or better yet... Check out the entire flick online on the Vodafone site HERE.

LIL' WAYNE STUNNED BY MY WORK

Tuesday, November 17th 2009

So... I'm at work minding my own business aaand I get a message from Albert of FreshCotton.com about Lil' Wayne actually seeing the 'Best Rapper Alive' mixin shirt I made a few years ago. Who would've guessed that the t-shirt I gave Noah's Ark rapper MurdaTurk would get stolen... I mean "borrowed" by Vjeze Fur of De Jeugd Van Tegenwoordig. And who would've known that Vjeze would wear the shirt at his group's 'Wop Wop Wop' videoshoot. I remember TopNotch label owner Kees de Koning mailing me: "Cool shirt at the end." Back when I saw Vjeze rockin' the tee I was already grinning from ear to ear. But man o man... To see the first minute of QD3's 'The Carter' documentary with Wayne actually commenting on my work was a trip. Haha...

CASSEL ELSTAK

Friday, October 9th 2009

He was due on December 10th, but young man Cassel Nedly Elstak wasn't that eager to be a winter baby. So he decided to be born October 9th 2009. Edmée and I were fine with that. ;-) Young Colossus Cassel came home with us on the 9th of November 2009.

NEW ARK ATTIRE

Friday, August 28th 2009

I felt like making some new Ark Boy magic. So I hollered at Jiggy. And he was thinking the same thing. When I mailed him the result he went bonkers. And when Kohfie Konnect's Keyser Punchline has that reaction. You know you've just created a Godzilla sized banger. Jiggens premièred the new t-shirts I designed for him, Kraantje, Murda and fLE $ $ at the Lowlands Festival 2009. But now it's finally possible for the fans to cop all of them as well. So hop, skip and jump along towards the Noah's Ark brand at world's flyest webshop, FreshCotton.com HERE. So go on... run and re-tweet that with your BlackBerry Bold.

IK HEB JE (CLIP)

Thursday, August 20th 2009

As I'm typing this I'm listening to Jiggy Djé's NPS Kunststof interview (click HERE to tune in). Jiggens' 3rd videoclip for his 'De Ark De Triomf' album is now roaming the web. You could already see the SirOJ produced 'Superster' and 'Superster Remix' ft. Winne. Well, now the good fellas of Opslaan Als hooked you up with a visual experience of Jiggy's 'Ik Heb Je' ft. Pete Philly (produced by FS Green). I was blessed to enjoy the good weather, and the celebration of making this video on the island of Texel. If you can't tell we all had a lot of fun during the shoot. Click HERE to see the video. Be sure to vote for De Ark De Triomf HERE. A 3voor12 Award would be a good look, ya get me? Another good look is ArkBoyTV: De Art De Triomf episode pt. 2. Peep that HERE. Oh and the other 'Jig' has a new video as well. Check Jay-Z ft. KanYe West & Rihanna - 'Run This Town' HERE. Jay's 'Blueprint III' tracklist looks promising by the way.

NEDLY ELSTAK

Sunday, August 16th 2009

"Nedly Elstak is one of those musicians, active in the Dutch jazz scene in the 1960s, 70s and 80s, who is now almost forgotten. Almost, because Jazz music is no longer a hot item and only few listeners or musicians, will remember his great trumpet playing, but thanks to a great compilation record, released by the Dutch Jazz Archive (NJA 0102) some years ago, his musical heritage is available for everybody who is anxious to learn how he sounded. Nedly Elstak was born in Semarang, on the isle of Java, part of the former Dutch Indies, now Indonesia January 1931. He left the Far East (seen with European eyes) in 1936 to settle in The Netherlands. He started to play the trumpet, when he was a young adult. He also learned to play the piano. He became active in the Amsterdam Jazz scene early 1950s. During the 1970s he had a club in Amsterdam named De Masjien (= The Machine). Later he stopped playing the trumpet and concentrated almost entirely to the piano. On the NJA record, simply labelled Nedly Elstak - Trumpeter he plays the piano on three tracks." - Hans Koert. Big up to MCN for hooking me up with the compilation cd of Nedly Elstak. Heritage!
