Additional Information

After working as a product/graphic/toy designer for 6 years, i did what any ignorant, foolish, retarded douchebag would do during an economic recession: i quit my job! High five, one for the hometeam. So there i was, sitting comfortably on my sofa, wearing pajamas and slippers, enjoying the moment. Soon i discovered my creative mind kept on bubbling ideas like a small, yet active volcano. (You can see me in one of my braindraining sessions on the photo. I’m the one on the bottom right). I wrote the ideas down and then… well that’s it basically. I needed something to help me actually bring those ideas to life, something to push me over the edge from just ‘thinking’ to actually ‘doing’. Hence, this blog.

For the next hundred days, i will slap myself in the face and commit to visualize for you, one idea per day. As you, my dear reader, become my witness. You, my dear reader, become my motivation. Please join the fun and leave me a comment, a love letter or plain hate mail…

I thanketh thee humbly.

Yours truly, oli
