plants (4)

some of the images they didn't use for the book. the 2nd was a favourite. don't know why it looks so unsharp here. click here for a better view. that's our new flickr page, still working on it.

sunday

we received another honeybear this week. it's very close, but it's still not the one we are looking for. if you think you have it, you can always write us, we're still looking! but this one is lovely, thanks a lot edina!
the first picture shows 2 washcloths, a thriftstore find.

green

caught our eyes in the streets.

give-away

some of you asked us where to get this book. well, it's not for sale. when you buy a plant in holland you get a code wich you can enter on this website. everyday they give away 500 books (untill 14/11). it's available in dutch and english. since we got some books, we thought to organise a give-away. to enter just leave a comment before next week friday 22/10. good luck to all of you!

balloons

how come things with faces always look so much nicer?

cacti again

love the colors in this book.

bones

our dear otark friends are up to something nice again. making bones and skeletons to eat. it's for an exhibition from frederik heyman that opens tonight. if you're in amsterdam, go there!

me and my plant

we've been showing many pictures of plants here. this is why. the book is just out since a few days. you can flip through it here. it's funny to see our pictures printed! the graphic design is done by maartje kuiper. will show you soon some more of the unpublished photos we did.
