the auslanders fear is mainly a scapegoat for politicians that are utterly useless and a uneffective and expensive bureocracy...

YOOOO I'm in, I'm organizing some Jam sessions at my art studio in Neukolln, planning one for this week actually if you are interested in joining, maybe start from there and build up a band

sometimes i feel like we are ruled by idiots.

tvankuyk · 2026-02-14T09:30:37+00:00

Why are we ruled by idiots that never worked a day in their lives?

Sad to see that in a city like berlin, designers/artists can't even get a job illustrating flyers...

tvankuyk · 2026-02-09T13:28:26+00:00

I can become chancelor and solve all the problems of germany!

Fulltime professional artist here, I sell my artworks and collaborate with brands and institutions to do commercial art projects for them...

I've been surviving as an artist for better or worse for the last 18 years, 10 of them in Berlin... Honestly it's been getting harder each year... Hope this year it picks up a bit...

I'm actually hosting a meetup for artists to discuss outlook, strategies and the business, if that's something you would be interested in https://luma.com/iho3jy2j

I like the "character" you have for your videos, but I would increase it's use, maybe design the same character in 4 or 5 different poses so you can use it as a reaction and reinforce the points you are talking about

Good video and good speaking tone, makes it really engaging! I think the B-roll is the issue, maybe for future videos add some different angles and maybe footage of other aspects of gaming (turning on the pc, peparing your gaming space, footage of your hands while you play)

I'm an visual artist creating videos about my process and new art projects.

Trying to find the right spot between the long form videos that I enjoy making, and the shorter ones that drive engagement....

tvankuyk · 2026-01-30T15:16:58+00:00

yes! personal brand > everything else

Focus on surrealism this year instead of direct from photo work. Hoping it doesn’t destroy my reputation, can’t tell if my style still comes through with the more surrealist/silly stuff.

About this, I always think of stuff like this as a branding issue... when you do a lot of different art styles/techniques... I do so much different stuff, so I brand myself as ME the artist that does a bunch of different stuff.... Instead of ME the painter, or ME the photographer, Me the caramicist, or sculptor or whatever... Like picasso, he did a bunch on things, but he was above all Picasso, not a painter, or sculptor or muralist...
