I am still sick. To fight the boredom, my friend Joris sent me a long list of URL's he took from the illustration issue of Credits. I missed this issue because of our move, it didn't get forwarded. So now I am up to snuff on Dutch Illustration. And I am in total Flash shock. Websites that catapult themselves full screen, producing horrible sounds and crashing my computer twice. Overly enthusiastic freshly graduated artschool students mainly I'm afraid, all very hip, and some of them truly interesting. A couple of agents representing older illustrators, showing what was hip when they graduated. What is it that sentences so many artists to life in the Zeitgeist of their graduation year? I bet you 80% of the young dogs I surfed this morning will keep doing what they do until long after everybody is sick of it. Maybe not Johan Kleinjan, I like him. I think he has something to do with this incomprehencible website. This is his Flash agent.
