Henk Veen illustrator book Ernst Low

Henk Veen is asked to create the cover of the first book of actor, writer, musician and singer Ernst Low. The title of the book is '' En wie Ben Jij?'' subtitle : Kroniek van een Rock & Roll Monkey. There will also be a few drawings of Henk Veen to be seen in the book. Henk Veen captured the mindset and adventures which Ernst Low has written in his book.

How do you come through the day if you want to be someone else all your life long, and you don't have your own identity? You hardly will.

Will life be easier if the person who you want to be is Herman Brood? It certainly will not. Junior is this man. He goes from club to club, argues truths and tries to get a rock-'n-roll
and started. By a remarkable coincidence it happens too. The band even has success, because there are ten shows to be planned.

This Rock-'n-roll roman is the writers debut of singer/actor Ernst Low. In the roman Low describes the life of Junior, who wants to be Herman Brood no matter what and starts his own band.

An equally hilarious and sobering and surprising perspective on the Belgian music scene in the early nineties. Low wants to show his debut everywhere possible, theaters, cafe's, churches, police stations, schools, libraries and brothels. Wherever he can, he wants to present it.

The first happening will be on the 25th of February.

Together with actrice Jessa Wildermeerch will Ernst Low introduce his book, speak about his debut, read several chapters, sing a few songs that are in the book and will sign autographs or his books. This will all happen from 20:00pm in the FelixPakhuis - Godefriduskaai 30 in Anwerpen - Belgium. In this way we wan to invite you to come and have a look.

You can order the book at Bruna filialen and costs 16,90 Euro. Illustrator : kunstschilder Henk Veen, Editor : Toni Mulder. Publisher : Linkeroever Uitgevers. ISBN-nr: 9789057203480. 192 pages. Paperback.

Start project and SMS-Alert our Molenwijk and attending the revelation Henk Veen

The project our (Molen)wijk started in on Saturday 16th of January 2010 in Amsterdam. Also were the artistic traffic plates revealed by district chairman Rob Post and alderman Chris de Wild-Propitius from Stadsdeel Amsterdam Noord, which were created by the famous artist Henk Veen. Attending the revelation was a special guest, chief Bernard Welten, which was very excited about the project where the residents have their own SMS-Alert. With a loud applause this special project was entirely embraced with enthousiasm. This project started in April 2009 by a group residents, which booked several succeses in the following months on crime. We’ve had alot of residents signing up for the SMS-Alert.

Concreet initiatives like a local sms-alert for identifying and reporting nuisances like wreckage and inappropriate behavior, making new districtrules, stimulating residents to tell others to account for their inappropriate behavior, and going on campaign aimed at standard values. Simply said the goal is avoid poverty in the district, having the guts to talk to the younger people, showing respect to eachother in the street and keeping the district nice and clean. Also to collect data for further research.

The moment there’s an incident in the district, the SMS-Alert will immediately be put to use, where there will be a despatch at all the members of the SMS-Alert. It will alos be sent the police, among others, which will collect information to do a faster investigation in robbery, burglary and wreckage for example. When the SMS-Alert has been sent out, the members will make sure to look around on the street or out of their windows for suspicious activities that have something to do with the incident.

Mostly there is something suspicious going on at the spot which you neglect at that very moment that could have something to do with what happens later, this information also is very important. Keep in mind, this is no civil watch.The residents are the eyes and the ears of the districts aiming to make the district safer. With great succes!

Henk Veen & the project Onze (Molen) wijk in the Molenwijk Amsterdam Nordsite

Police department Klimopweg, Amsterdam, asked the artist Henk Veen to work along with various residents and agencies on the project Onze (Molen)wijk ( Samen Staan We Sterk).
Following several incidents and the worsening of the image of the residential living enviorment in the Molenwijk, a large group of residents of the Molenwijk and agencies united in one group ‘Onze (Molen)wijk’. This group wants to join forces to improve the residential living enviorment. Goals are to stop rude behavior, reducing the nuisance of the youth, and encourage residents to take back up common values.
Concreet initiatives like a local sms-alert for identifying and reporting nuisances like wreckage and inappropriate behavior, making new districtrules, stimulating residents to tell others to account for their inappropriate behavior, and going on campaign aimed at standard values. Simply said the goal is avoid poverty in the district, having the guts to talk to the younger people, showing respect to eachother in the street and keeping the district nice and clean.
The project SMS-Alert has been setup by several people who took initiative in our district. Press here for protocol / Users manual for the SMS-Alert.
Making this project possible are many residents and agencies offering their support like Politie Klimopweg, Stadsdeel Amsterda Noord, Molenmeester Herman Oostwal, Woningcorporatie Alliantie en Eigen Haard, Isa Beveiliging, Straatcoaches, Stichting Dock, Stadsdeelwerken, Streetcoernerwork, and Stichting Welsaen. A big number of agencies, who want to keep the district a nice place to live, are joining forces with each their own function. Aiming to give a positive contribution to the district. A beautiful ideal where Henk Veen wants to contribute in his own way.

After some brainstorming, he came up with the idea to bring back old traffic signs back to life and tries to capture his thoughts about this in a form of art with paint. The project is still in an early stadium, but will be given a direction very soon. Posters and flyers will be made for the project to bring the residents and the youth to the attention that with a positive angle, happy, artistic way it is possible to go along great with eachother. Henk launched the collection “ Straatrat “ for this and it got received with great enthousiasm. Recently Henk created 15 traffic signs with different messages. There will be a reproduction of sixty pieces in total, these will be put hanging in the district on traffic poles, walls, playcourts. See the result of this unique collection here.
The kickoff of the artistic traffic signs route is on 16th of January 2010 in the Molenwijk in Amsterdam Noord.

Marco Borsato's painting is also being auctioned due to his bankruptcy

Due to bankruptcy of The Entertainment Group, which Marco Borsato owned, the entire furniture is being sold.
In which also the painting that Henk Veen created especially for Marco Borsato in assignment of director Dan Lightvoet, owner of TMF, is being auctioned.
The painting was handed over by Henk to Marco in contribution to the TMF Awards, because Marco would be the appointed'' Artist of the Decade '' in 2005.

We also discovered today that the painting '' Artist of the Decade '' would be auctioned at SBS Shownieuws. See the clip here. See the auction of the painting at the auctionhouse BVA-Auctions. Nr 1462-1142.

Auction Marco Borsato

Read the news about "our Marco" and see on every channel how Marco is telling his story, with a tear, but non-beaten and certainly not running away for it.
The artist is coming up and you see him think, with a glimmer of hope and desire, back to the beginning. Sing wherever, for 10.000 people or 50, it matters not, alsong as I can sing, that what I live for.

I'm getting a bad feeling and also a sad feeling inside, shit, such a great guy and now this!
Slowly the stories and dripping in, immediately the song Binnneehhhh flies through my head.
Shit man, he lost everything, I just saw that everything, and I mean everything including toiletseat, is being auctioned.

Sigh, a sip of wiskey and I paint on, important assignment, Dam tot Damloop.
Not realizing what Marco is thinking, what it means if everything is being auctioned, only being full of confidence that he'll ''live'' through.
Full of confidence in my own world I paint on, delightfulll, indulging myself on the painting, turning around like crazy and inspiration like I never had.
