Voor de Kunstenaar - Crowdfunding project

2011-09-19T12:51:00.002+02:00

Voor de Kunstenaar
Voor de Kunstenaar is een crowdfunding project voor ondernemende kunstenaars. Het project wil geld ophalen om daarmee een traject voor kunstenaars//creatieven te bekostigen, waarin het ontwikkelen en versterken van ondernemerschap centraal staat.
http://www.voordekunstenaar.nl

Waarom?
Tijden veranderen, de budgetten staan overal onder druk en veel kunstenaars en creatieven zijn niet voldoende toegerust om hun product of dienst goed in de markt te zetten. Logisch ook. Nog steeds zijn er maar weinig creatieve opleidingen waar aandacht wordt besteed aan ondernemerschap. En dat terwijl kennis van ondernemen en zakelijke vaardigheden onmisbaar zijn om succesvol te functioneren als kunstenaar//creatief. Dit traject zorgt er voor dat de kunstenaars//creatieven die mee doen een gezond bedrijf neer kunnen zetten. Ze hebben na het traject de tools in handen om hun product of dienst goed in de markt te zetten en zo een succesvol bestaan op te bouwen.

Het traject
De 10 deelnemers Marije van Wieringen, Renee Middelkoop, Merlijn Smeele, Nadine Faber, Ellen Vesters, Barbera Ploeg, Bea Peter, Lammert Kraaijeveld, Frank Boogaard en Coen Hamelink krijgen elk 10 coachingsgesprekken en 6 trainingsdagen, in een tijdsspanne van drie maanden, waarin alle aspecten van het ondernemerschap aan bod komen. Marketing, acquisitie, prijzen bepalen, aan opdrachten komen, social media inzetten, een bedrijfsplan schrijven, een financieel plan maken, planning & organisatie etc. etc., alle ins & outs komen aan bod. Na deze drie maanden zijn de 10 kunstenaars//creatieven helemaal klaar om hun bedrijf succesvol in de markt te zetten. Ook wordt er een expositie georganiseerd, waar de kunstenaars//creatieven zich professioneel kunnen presenteren, en er wordt een boek gemaakt naar aanleiding van het traject, waarin het werk van de deelnemende kunstenaars//creatieven centraal staat.

Wie gaat dat betalen?
Om dit project van de grond te krijgen hebben we 20.000 euro nodig. Veel geld, maar ik ben er van overtuigd dat er in Nederland voldoende mensen zijn die de kunsten een warm hart toedragen. En wat is er nou mooier dan een bijdrage leveren aan een succesvol bestaan voor een kunstenaar//creatief?! Bovendien draagt u met uw donatie bij aan een expositie en aan de totstandkoming van een boek, waarmee de kunstenaars//creatieven zichzelf professioneel kunnen presenteren. En uiteraard krijgt u ook iets van ons! Hier kunt u lezen wat u van Voor de Kunstenaar krijgt als tegenprestatie voor uw donatie. Wilt u een bijdrage leveren? Dat kan! U kunt ons een mail sturen voor meer informatie of direct uw donatie overmaken met de gegevens die rechts op de pagina staan.

Wanneer?
Het crowdfunding project loopt tot 5 oktober 2011, 12.00 uur. Het traject zelf gaat begin oktober van start en eindigt 3 maanden later in december. Zodat de deelnemende kunstenaars//creatieven klaar zijn voor een succesvol 2012!

Door wie?
Voor de Kunstenaar is een initiatief van AngelCoaching en Stichting Monnickenwerk, beide bedrijven zijn opgericht door Marca van den Broek die jarenlange ervaring heeft met het begeleiden van kunstenaars//creatieven in het opzetten of uitbouwen van hun bedrijf. Zij zal het project coördineren. De kunstenaars//creatieven die deelnemen aan het project kunnen zowel bij haar als bij andere professionele coaches//trainers begeleiding ‘inkopen’.

Grandma's old family photo album

2011-08-18T16:05:00.005+02:00

I love these old photos of the family photoalbum of my dear grandmother, who is luckily still alive, living in Zeeland, the south of Holland. It feels really special to have these real, more than hundred year old photos in my hands, being aware that these people are my forefathers and mothers. Love and peace to my dear family.

Hannibal, the baby from Cartagena

2011-07-14T09:35:00.007+02:00

On the occasion of the fifth edition of Le Strade del Paesaggio art festival - www.lestradedelpaesaggio.com - that will be held in Cosenza, Italy, in September and October 2011, I've been invited to contribute to the special picture book project titled “On the track of Hannibal”.

The book is inspired by a collection of tales written by Paolo Rumiz, author and journalist of the Italian newspaper “la Repubblica”, and it follows the adventures of the great African commander Hannibal while tracing the new routes of migrant people from the Mediterranean to Europe.

According to the project, which is sponsored by the provincial administration of Cosenza, a picture book made of illustrations by authors coming from every European country, will be realized and published. Each author is asked to illustrate one of the thirty tales written by Rumiz.
The book presentation will be followed by the opening ceremony of the exhibition of the original illustrations contained in the book. The opening ceremony is scheduled on September 24th 2011 in the famous headquarter of the political administration of Cosenza.
My work will be one of the thirty illustrations that will be published in the book and shown in the exhibition.

Participating artists:
Nicola Alessandrini, Federico Appeal, Nikko Barber, João Vaz de Carvalho, Elisa Cesari,Elda Cingolani, Coen Met Een C, Marina Comandini Pazienza, Sonja Danowski, Jan Van Doornspeek, Katia Kaduk, Artem Kostyukevic, Alexis Marcou, Mireia Macip Padrell, Sac Magique, Martina Peluso, Elena Rapa, Macus Romero, Roberta Maddalena, Rasa Joni, Anna Sedziwy, Soju Tamaka, Bruna Troise, Thanos Tsiovsis, Marianna Venczàc

It's real honor to join this project amongst these great artists and illustrators.
Thank you so much, art director Luca Scornaienchi!

Culturele Zondag Groen! Campagne

2011-05-09T17:25:00.004+02:00

Vandaag heb ik 'live' een affiche beschilderd in het Stadhuis te Utrecht.
Een hele leuke, creatieve campagne. Ik voelde me weer net even op de Kunstacademie...

Duizend handgemaakte affiches promoten 'groene' zondag

In het stadhuis zijn maandagmiddag duizend affiches gemaakt. Ze komen allemaal in de stad te hangen en zijn bedoeld ter promotie van de 'Culturele Zondag Groen!' op 19 juni. De makers van de affiches zijn illustratoren, graffititalenten, kalligrafen, studenten van de kunstacademie en prominente Utrechters, waaronder milieuwethouder Mirjam de Rijk.

De 'Culturele Zondag Groen!' staat, zoals de naam al doet vermoeden, in het teken van het milieu. Bezoekers zien, horen, voelen, proeven en ruiken dat duurzaamheid, bio, eco en groen uitstekend samengaan met cultuur, aldus de organisatie. Vrijwel het hele programma is gratis toegankelijk.

Meer informatie over de groene zondag is binnenkort te vinden op www.culturelezondagen.nl.

Ballerina Expressionale

2011-05-04T21:55:00.005+02:00

Today, I finally gave myself the freedom to experiment a bit again.
I liked the idea of an older ballerina who has the persistent desire to dance every day of her life,
in spite of her aging body. She's trying so hard that she can't enjoy dancing any more.
What to do...?

This morning, it was like living in Russia (if I will ever know what that would mean). A thick layer of snow in Holland. That doesn't happen very often. So I dragged myself out of bed early in the Sunday morning and took some quiet photos of the beautiful white park in Utrecht.

Now it's time for a cup of nice hot choclit!

Duo-exhibtion Coen Hamelink & Irene Weug

2010-12-10T11:21:00.004+01:00

Last night, I read part of the story Jason and the Argonauts for a nice bunch of people in Bergen op Zoom, The Netherlands. Two years ago, I illustrated this great Greek mythological adventure story for BISK/Kunstbalie. These are the pictures of the duo-exhibition '1000 gevaren kom ik te boven' (In English: A thousand dangers I will overcome') Dutch autonome artist Irene Weug set up. It had a very cosey atmosphere and our works merged great together.
Thanks everyone at Arsis for making this evening a special one!

'Een Maand Lang' met Coen Hamelink en Irene Weug

9 december 2010 van 20:30 tot 23:00 uur gratis

Locatie: Arsis kunst en sociëteit, Bergen op Zoom
‘1000 gevaren kom ik te boven' - Installatie, illustratie, verhalen! Beeldend kunstenares Irene Weug, 1951, toont in de Arsis-serie 'Een Maand Lang' haar nieuwe installatie ‘1000 gevaren kom ik te boven' in de sociëteit van Arsis. In dat kader heeft zij Coen Hamelink, 1978, uit Utrecht uitgenodigd om zijn beeldverhaal over ‘Jason en de Argonauten' te laten zien. Hamelink werkt als 'Coen met een C', als illustrator, designer en acteur. ‘1000 gevaren kom ik te boven' staat in het Latijn op het oude stadhuis van Bergen op Zoom. Deze tekst zette Irene Weug aan het denken: “Is het een bezwering voorafgaand aan een reis, is het een uitroep tijdens een barre tocht om de moed er in te houden, is het een conclusie die achteraf te maken is?”. Ze vult aan: “Voor mij is het een statement geworden.” 9 December: verhalen over de mythische reis van Jason en de Argonauten door Coen Hamelink.

Met plezier advocaat zijn - Murk Muller

These illustrations I made for German/Dutch lawyer 'Murk Muller' are published in the book 'Met plezier advocaat zijn' (in English: Enjoying to be a lawyer'). It's a vulnerable and very personal story about how to find the balance between your humanity as a lawyer and the 'business' side of it. A must have for lawyers!

Hart voor Leren! Passend Onderwijs in de klas - CPS

I just finished the cover illustration and total graphic design of the book:
Hart voor Leren! Passend onderwijs in de klas for Dutch publisher CPS.
It's about how to get more 'care' into the classrooms at primary schools.
It was quite a challenge to create a whole new way of thinking about illustration
from the graphic design perspective: what does this subject need to communicate?
Instead of doing my personal style. A great job to do.
A big thanks for the people at CPS!

Exhibition at 'De Drvkkery' Middelburg

2010-10-05T16:14:00.002+02:00

Today, my work is prepared for the Children's Book Week exhibition at De Drvkkery, Middelburg:
http://dedrukkerij.mijnboekhandelaar.com/index.php/agenda/tentoonstellingen/175-tentoonstellingen/694-argonauten-en-andere-wezens-illustraties-van-coen-hamelink-

Dutch version:

‘Argonauten en andere wezens’ - illustraties van Coen Hamelink - 6 t/m 30 oktober

Tijdens de expositie in de Drvkkery laat Coen een selectie zien van zijn vrije werk en zijn serie over het bekende verhaal van Jason en de Argonauten die hij in opdracht maakte voor het Brabants Instituut voor School en Kunst, in samenwerking met Renée Groothof, die de teksten heeft geschreven en ingesproken.

De geëxposeerde illustraties zijn allemaal digitaal gemaakt. Handgemaakte schetsen zijn omgezet naar digitale tekeningen en vervolgens op de computer verder bewerkt met onder andere fotomateriaal. De afbeeldingen zijn digitaal afgedrukt als kleurechte Giclée prints, een moderne hoogwaardige reproductietechniek op basis van echte pigmenten. De geëxposeerde werken zijn te koop en op aanvraag te bestellen.

Coen Hamelink (Middelburg, 1978) groeide op in Nieuw en St. Joosland en Oost-Souburg. In 1996 verhuisde hij naar Rotterdam voor de studie Grafische Vormgeving aan het Grafisch Lyceum. Vervolgens deed hij de Willem de Kooning Academie in Rotterdam waar hij in 2004 afgestudeerde als illustrator. Sindsdien heeft Coen, naast freelance opdrachten, parttime gewerkt bij verschillende reclamestudio’s. Nu werkt en leeft hij als freelance illustrator, grafisch ontwerper in Utrecht onder de naam ‘Coen met een C’: www.coenmeteenc.nl

In 2009 zijn drie van zijn illustraties geselecteerd voor het boek ‘200 Best Illustrators Worldwide 09/10’ van het Oostenrijkse ‘Luerzer’s Archive’, dat in juni 2009 wereldwijd is uitgebracht in 35 landen.

Coen maakt kleurrijke, illustratieve en ietwat naïeve beelden, met vaak een licht melancholische sfeer en kleine details. Tekeningen van figuren, dieren en ruimtes, fotomateriaal en texturen worden op een collageachtige wijze in elkaar gezet. De combinatie van 2d-tekeningen met een 3d-achtige uitwerking geeft een vervormd beeld, waardoor het vaak net niet klopt.

Compagnie Rasposo

2010-09-10T08:55:00.003+02:00

Yesterday I visited a fantastic show of French old school Circus 'Compagnie Rasposo'.
Just when it started, I suddenly recognized my old schoolmate of high-school 'Jan de Jongleur' (John the Juggler) who went into the circus-school in Paris. What a great surprise!
The acrobats, clowns and musicians are unbelievable.

If you have the chance to go to Compagnie Rasposo, be sure to check it out!
