Once upon a time I lived in a big old house in the deep south of the US in the state Georgia. The house used to be part of a cotton plantation and therefore had a large amount of ground around it. In fact so much land that if I went for a walk in [...]

Once up on a time we lived in the United States of America. To be more precise we lived in the middle of nowhere in a tiny little place called Watkinsville, Georgia. Just like now we had our own Atelier and made our own line of handmade jewelry. We sold through galleries and did many [...]

Once upon a time… I lived in the middle of nowhere, in Georgia, USA in a big wooden house standing on a large piece of land which once was a cotton plantation. Around this time as daffodils are blooming it always reminds me of that day a pickup truck came driving up our driveway. A [...]

Once upon a time I lived in Amsterdam… Almost every nook of Amsterdam is familiar to me because I moved house many times in that city. Always on to a wee bit bigger place. At one point I lived in a beautiful spot along one of the canals. The attic I lived in had a [...]

Having a tattoo is a very common thing these days, during the time this drawing was made it wasn’t … This drawing dates from the time when Jan was a medical student in Amsterdam. It was a time when he got to see a large number of naked people and for the first time saw [...]

Once up on a time I lived in a windmill… A long time ago we lived for a few years in the U.S.A. When we came back we had to make up our minds where to live in Holland. We bought a car and drove around our country for a few weeks to look at [...]

Once upon a time I lived in Watkinsville, Georgia, U.S.A. It was the Deep South and really rural country. For someone like me living until then in the city of Amsterdam, there were quit some things getting used to. Like rattlesnakes living under your porch, or a redneck neighbor carrying a gun at all times. [...]

Once up on a time I traveled around the U.S. for as long as one year… One thing I remember the most was how you could come across the strangest buildings in the middle of nowhere. This tiny prefabricated treasure is not situated in America though but in the Australian outback. Sheathed in copper, the [...]

Once up on a time I traveled for a year around the United States of America in a little old camper. We nearly visited all the States. I also traveled the coastal road Highway 101 all the way from Northern Oregon to San Diego California. I have seen lots of great architecture along that coast. [...]
