We made the movie poster for Złota; a documentary which premieres soon at the Docs against Gravity festival in Warsaw.
Krzysztof inherited a tenement house in Złota Street in the heart of Warsaw from his Jewish ancestors during the reprivatization process. He manages it with his wife Ida.

Jaarlijks overlijden meer dan 100.000 zeedieren aan de gevolgen van plastic. Ruim 90% van ons plastic wordt niet gerecycled. Per minuut belandt een vuilniswagen aan plastic afval in de zee. Zolang bedrijven als Unilever, Coca-Cola en Nestlé wegwerpplastic blijven produceren, blijft het plastic probleem bestaan, ondanks al ons gerecycle.
Greenpeace heeft een nieuwe campagne gelanceerd om bedrijven op hun verantwoordelijkheid te wijzen. Wij maakten een beeldverhaal voor in hun toolkit.

Poster for the new Joost van der Wiel documentary Drømmeland.

The movie portrays the 60 year old Nils, who longs for an independent life in harmony with nature. He takes his refuge in a small wooden cabin in the mountains of Norway. Despite his effort to take distance from modern society he brings his mobile phone. There, surrounded by the rough Norwegian wildernis, Nils is being confronted with his desire for human contact. His urge to share about his isolation through his mobile phone seems irresistible.
This documentary observes how Nils is trying to find the balance between being in contact with himself, nature and the outside world.

In opdracht van de FNV maakten de (strip)tekenaars van De Inktpot een boekje met verhalen over het ontstaan en de kracht van de vakbeweging. Wij sloten ons hierbij aan en maakten een vier pagina tellend beeldverhaal over Henri Polak, de Algemene Nederlandse Diamantbewerkers Bond en de invoering van de 8-urige werkdag.

We made a pin for the Bijenkorf staff who hasn’t had a salary raise in 1,5 years although the Bijenkorf profit increased with 8% last year. This bee refers to the Bijenkorf (lit. translation beehive) logo. The staff wears the pin as a silent protest. Want to read more? Article in Dutch.

In April this year EU’s highest court has ruled that Poland’s logging in the Unesco-protected Białowieża forest was illegal and violating laws. Białowieża is one of Europe’s last areas of primeval (mind you; 10.000 years old) forest and it remains a haven for birds, wolves, lynx and 25% of the world’s European bison population. We visited the forest and the impressive logging sites last year. Three forest portraits.
