The last & only time I won something was when I was 6 years old and won a Queensday drawing contest. I wrote Happy 05th wedding anniversary to the Queen, in stead of 50th anniversary. That was probably "funny" enough to let me win… I remember the prize very well: a voucher with the equivalent Read article…

Rose Revisited
As of next week my stepdaughter will be here at Studio Sapique! This photo shows what she looked like when we just met in 1999. She's proudly showing me her new Pikachu hand puppet which I made for her. It became her favorite and soon looked loved & greyish. My role as a stepmom is Read article…
460 Kids
One of my side projects for the past 6 years, is the creation of Christmas cards for an elementary school in the Netherlands, together with my father. I don't fully recall how it started in 2005, but we decided to photograph all the children of the entire school and group them per school class. A Read article…
Kico Candy
What's in store today? kids & candy! This summer campaign by Kico Kids is just perfect. Great concept, styling and colour palette. The giant balloon sea creatures are so well done, so much better than a banal dog by any balloon twisting clown. Even better than Jeff Koons if you ask me, but that's a Read article…
This is a couple
For the last few years, Parisian brand The Kooples has been featuring real life couples in all of their ad campaigns. Yohji Yamamoto has been doing this for many years. At early july's V&A's Fashion in Motion catwalk event, real London couples modelled menswear and womenswear pieces from the archive of Yohji Yamamoto. So cute! Read article…
A light breeze
With the mercury reaching temperatures of up to 37°C (100°F) here in France, the world smells so much better. Nothing beats the wonderful smell of fresh air and sunshine, sunscreen, outdoor bbq's, seaside and fresh lemon drinks. This asks for some light and airy designs. Here are a few of my current favorites. J3 Production Read article…
Colorless
Sometimes I wish I only liked wearing ONE color. Like these people. For years I've been wearing a lot of black with a hint of color or non-color from time to time. I could never wear white everyday. Too afraid of stains. However stains are a must on this pretty Underfull tablecloth. Actually my Read article…
What the Jell’O
I always wonder what happens next with public space after shooting a video like this one by BluBlu. Somehow the Favela painting makes so much more sense. Oh and how I love the consistency of Jell'o and so do these fanatics. Yummy! And what about golden tomatoes with Deli Garage's food finish? If nothing works Read article…
Shortbright
Just a day before the shortest day of the year, I have some bright stuff to share. First of all some bright gifts from Pen Pencil Stencil (don't forget the news section for nice photos and ideas). Then get in the photo cabin and get your picture done! Have a playful afternoon and get out Read article…
Pearl
Pearl's girl. Not a reference to the song by Underworld, but more to the magpie I am myself. I found some beautiful pearls to share with you. We will never be green enough, so for some ultimate green inspiration, Veer created this amazing microsite. More inspiration per theme can be found in photographic webmag Purpose. The childhood edition contains some challenging Read article…
