klaxon festival

a while ago, we visited klaxon festival at 't Werkhuys.
this stripfest, expo and preformance festival was curated by the talented and ever happy Dimitri 'JangoJim' Sakelaropolus and Bries. 

We saw a lot of great comics, books, cards, art and really enjoyed the exhibitions on the first floor, with works of Brecht Vandenbroucke, Marcel Ruijters, Lukas Verstraete, Pieter Fannes, Wobby collectief, Frank Wagemans, Samplerman, Wide Vercnocke and Olivier Schrauwen.

...but I love real post! Found this book in my post box last week, send by a dear old friend (we don't see each other any more, but we still write!). This book is a collection of 100 postcards selected and made by Mr Bingo. He invited strangers to pay him 10£ and in return he'd send them an offensive postcard with an original drawing on. Good for instant happiness :-)

oh yeah, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
