A couple of months ago, we received a phone call from renowned Dutch comedian Theo Maassen, who introduced himself as a “graphic designer who dabbles in comedy”. In short, he asked us for permission to use the ‘dripping Netherlands’ drawing that we originally made in 2003 for the Venice Biennale WATW project. We gave him permission, and Maassen’s posters hit the street last week. So in case you were wondering; we didn’t design these posters, but we did give permission to use the drawing.

Other designers that have used the ‘dripping Netherlands’ drawing include Irma Boom and Harmen Liemburg.
