George Raggett, what can I tell you about this kid? Really..I don’t know! What I do know is that he’s been an avid CFYE supporter from the get-go, I know he moved from the UK to Germany to live with a gorgeous redhead named Donna. I know he’s one of the funniest people I’ve never met (and I can tell you, there’s a lot of funny people I’ve never met!) and I know he has a very bright…Read More »
Let’s face it, (almost) everyone can pick up a camera and shoot some decent photographs with it. But it’s not until you get out of your shell to let your work be judged by someone else than by the always positive Facebook crowd when you start pushing boundaries. Life Framer is an organisation aiming to push artists to such boundaries with an international award and exhibition for any photographer that is interested. The award is by photographers, for photographers;

Ryan Harding is a filmmaker and photographer who recently graduated as a cinematographer. To be honest I totally forgot how we got in contact with him. Due to that thing called life it took quite a while to conduct the interview. I had to leave my apartment find a new one and decorate the new found cave. Thankfully Ryan is a good spirited guy who gave me some slack!
I hold a rather useless film degree from a well respected arts university. I say useless because…Read More »
Born and raised in Amsterdam, it is with right we call artist Laser 3.14 our home-grown hero. The mysterious Laser 3.14 is best known for his poetic graffiti texts that can be found all around Amsterdam. “Fasten your seatbelts, we’re going nowhere” or “Orwell dreamed up 1984, we did the rest” are some of Laser’s texts that can be read on wooden boards, construction trailers and other less permanent materials on the streets of Amsterdam. His street poetry has been reaching a wide audience…Read More »
There’s no doubt about it, Lee Bokfin must be one of the most energetic people I’ve had the honour of getting acquainted with. Last year Lee and I had a quick talk in which he explained his gigantic ambitions to create ‘Globalstreetart‘, the biggest street / art graffiti archive up to date. I’ll be the first to admit I was a bit sceptic about the viability of his plans as I know how much dedication something like that would…Read More »
Irish artist Matthew Knight is one of the people I’ve been in contact with for quite a while through CFYE. So when I heard Matthew had a solo exhibition in the Go Gallery, Amsterdam I decided to finally get out of my sweatpants and drag myself towards the Gallery on a rainy Saturday evening, to meet the kind man and have an up-close and personal look at his art. I am absolutely glad I did as it was great to meet Matthew,…Read More »
Photographer Anthony Gerace originally comes from Toronto but has the city of London letting his creative juices flow nowadays. Anthony has a varied body of art-work consisting not only out of photography but also interesting collages. Still both Kaymir and I were completely drawn by the variation in the portraits created by Anthony and asked our questions accordingly. Enjoy this short Q & A with Anthony Gerace!
Could you tell us something about yourself?
My name is Anthony Gerace. I…Read More »
Bernhard Handick is a young German artist and art-director of Shoutout-Magazine. With a German father and a mother from Sri-Lanka, Bernhard grew up in a multi cultural environment which he enjoyed a lot. He’s currently studying at the Folkwang university, working on his finals to get his diploma. Bernhard approaches photography as sculpting; arranging a picture like a painter and compose different sounds and layers like a musician. A little Q&A:
What is your preferred shooting set up?
Me, my camera and…Read More »
After being locked up in the lab for a while, it’s finally there! The long awaited ‘Childish Adult’ EP by Amsterdam based producer PlutoDash. With full-on focus and dedication PlutoDash has worked hard for his first release since he became an electronic music producer. I have to say the result has been worth the wait. The EP has five delicious tracks which are, track by track, spot-on productions by Plutodash. As icing on the cake the Childish Adult EP has been decorated by DHM…Read More »
Last month a new art gallery popped up online, seemingly just one among the masses. Artsia represents works by more than 500 artists from around the world, and each one has been individually vetted and evaluated by a team of international curators, resulting in thousands of professionally created works that you can scroll through endlessly online. We’re hoping this level of curation will set us apart, and our blog component lets you get to know the artists and the stories behind…Read More »
