Finally, I got one.
We are très happy!
About a year and a half ago my dear business partner and I fell madly in love with the building you see on your right. Thought about it hard and good before we decided to buy the property some time ago. Last Friday it finally was D-day: we got the keys.
From august the 14th one of our companies will operate from this building, and… me, Archibald, will hold office there as well! Find me in the window(s) to see where.
Can’t wait. To be continued.

Funny suitcase stickers by The Cheeky.
I really think that when you are going to smuggle cocaïne in your suitcase for real, that you have a better chance getting through customs if you would put the first sticker on it. But then you have to have platinum nerves I guess.

We’re getting old…
The Ferdinand GT3 RS by Johannes L is the world slowest Porsche. Fucking brilliant ànd fucking hilarious.
Please do watch.

Got to love these designs by fellow Tilburgians Gummbah & Chantal Rens. Will translate the last shirt for all you English readers out there: “I will follow my little Johnny over mountain and valley”.
Didn’t we all just want one? Now it looks like the time is finally here that these Back to the Future hoverboards are reality, because young French artist Nils Guadagnin made one with magnets and a laser to keep the balance. Neat!

Handlebars like animal antlers. Damn nice designs called Bi-King by Sungkug Kim.

Go and check out this nifty free augmented reality app called Cosmogramma by Flying Lotus and Warp.
Really worth while checking! Couldn’t stop playing myself.

Found this great rare clip featuring DJ Jazzy Jay and Africa Bambaata who explain the basics of scratching.
Funny thing: I found out that Grandwizzard Theodore, the man who invented scratching, listened to one of my podcatsts this week. Those little things make my day, uhh month. No, they make my year.

Woohoo! We have posted 500 articles. That deserves a redesign we thought. Nifty thing in the new design is the extra thumbnail viewmode and the scramble button above. Go check it out!
Because we hit the big 500 we give away 50 original AK 500 T-shirts! To get one, you only have to do one simple thing: tell a friend about Archibald! Make him or her to follow us on Twitter, facebook, Soundcloud or RSS. If you think this is an OK deal, just click this link us and we will send the Tshirt to you, wherever you live.
Thank you for the support!



One of the greater British design studios, DixonBaxi, is coming with a retrospective, hopefully this year. These are some drafts for the design of the book.

I bought 2 posters for my poster collection this weekend in Stockholm. The first is an image of Cornelis Vreeswijk, a fantastic dutch singer turned Swedish (Listen to Veronica in Dutch or Veronica in Swedish). Vreeswijk is as popular to the Swedes as Sven Kramer is to the Dutch. And since I’m married to a Svensk tjej and Sweden is my second home country after Holland, I feel we have at least some things in common!
The other one I bought at Moderna Museet. It’s an affiche for a Warhol exhibition there long time ago, saying: “I never read, I just look at pictures”. Which definately puts a smile on the face of an ADD‘er like me.
