Meet our pirate ship
"the mallotus soi dao" aka.. The unsinkable 3"
stranded at hidden beach. Koh mak for @flytothemoon_th
I was feeling like a kid building and creating this pirate ship with my fellow 1 legged pirates, japi and anouska. Collecting all the driftwood, old ropes and recycling anything we could find that fit with the boat.
So much fun creating all the details and litlle hidden features & happy to see it finally come to life after being in my head for 2 years Seeing people turn into kids while climbing, navigating, exploring and dancing the night away at the ship was the best .
Big shout as well to @myosis, @elnicofranchi, @ellie589 @zoejjprab for helping with the final details. To the sound wizard @janoshcka & @funktionone.th for always bringing the good energy and best sound here in Thailand
Also The light team from @humanspectrum.collective who did an amazing job with lighting it all out and making it even more magical at night , @kohmakhiddenbeach for the never ending love, shakes and support .
Pete from @blackwork.de for the wonderful shots from the ship 🙏
And last but not least @superstar_panda & @koish for the 💜 and organizing such a cozy festival done for the love, where we can create a magical space for the people to enjoy. The list goes on and on.. But overall feeling grateful for everything that is happening. Thanks for all the love and hugs here on the dance floor... It motivates me even more to build and create even crazier stuff . More pics of the other stage following soon
Bring on 2023!
Much 🌟💜🔮

Quick little owl for my parents their garden..after many years of creating big sculptures around the world it was time to make a little one for my parents ..since they never seen the big installations cus they were in another country or on the other side of globe .

I drove past this skip full of old wood from someone's kitchen or living room. perfect material to make some stuff out of. so I took as much as I could find and made this little birdie . gave it to my fooks and they were so happy 😊

grateful to be surrounded with my family and so many friends here back in Amsterdam. this summer has been a blast so far ..one more sculpture after this and then it's time to slowly head back "home"

Meet "gozar" a mix between a wolf and lion made for @circusbende festival in Amsterdam. had only 2 days to bring this beast to life..the base is made from old pvc heating pipes I found in the trash and the top is from Eva foam I still had laying around
Always fun to make something within such a short time frame and bring another creature to life to live with the people from Circus bende

Little clip of how we build the wooden temple stage for the @childrenofpanacea at the amzing cool urban spot @graffland_dosendealer close to Zurich 🇨🇭 , where art is encouraged and is full of amazing graffiti and paint works on a big scale. Working with the Panacea crew feels already like home and the people from the location made it only feel like home even more . Also always good to collaborate with other visionaries like @gregoryhedrich with his cool sculptures ,lightfesigns and projection mapping .
Great memories all around . much love to the guys running it all and..to the man who always has unlimited support for all our crazy ideas @kris.mitro.

see you guys soon .
much 🧡

Meet the castle of Whoo. what started as a rough idea finally all came together this weekend @saintwhoo Festival close to St Gallen in Switzerland. Hosted by the beautiful souls of @thegardensofbabylon
2 weeks of countless screws , a lot of fun , late evening BBQ's with amazing sunsets and loads of local wood of cuts all recycled into this castle .With little crooked towers , a back stage ring to walk around the dj and a viewpoint bench in the back to watch the sunset . This amazing location looking out over the lake that connects Germany ,Austria and Switzerland made it definitely a blast to build here .
Much love and respect goes out the family and crew for all the good care and hard work they put in to it and to all the people who danced their butt off at the stage . always best feeling to see .

And big shout out to our local legend @kris.mitro for more then a 100 reasons 🧡
untill the next adventure 🙏✨️🚀🔮

Still buzzing from an incredible weekend at the @childrenofpanacea ✨

Had so much fun creating the video mapping for the stage built by @lud_absolud and his team - and also exhibiting one of my sculptures during the festival. Seeing the visuals come alive in that environment, surrounded by music, people and energy, was a really special experience.

For this project I combined workflows using Adobe Photoshop, After Effects, Resolume Arena, Kling AI, Karleido and several experimental plugins & systems to create the final visuals and mapping setup.

Special thanks to @archegoah for the amazing Screamshift plugin and @jiagual.art for the beautiful Karleido system — seriously inspiring tools to work with.

Grateful for everyone involved, for the trust, the atmosphere and all the beautiful moments throughout the Event 🖤

My beloved seadragon is moving to a new home ..end of the year of the snake and time to let go of stuff , people , situations and items that don't serve us anymore .
She is going to a new place where she will spread some more joy.
I never make these projects with selling them in mind or even putting a price Tag on it can be hard cus they are made from an idea "..can I do this? can I make whats inside my head ?" that's the real challenge always ..create for the sake of creating . not looking for validation or anything but just having fun doing what I love most

untill another time my sea dragon 🐉
