Blue skies


Sometimes I have the privilege to make something extraordinary.
Our Tebodin office moved from Maastricht to Elsloo, in a far better and contemporary office building.
I did the interior design, and made a few round glass separation walls.
As the office lacked some colour, I designed this repetitive sky with a sketched local Limburg landscape, also with a hint to the work we do at our office.
I found the sky on Google images. But I still had to redesign 30% of the clouds, as they were not repetitive.
The sketch was made with fountain pen on a small  piece of paper, and resized 20 times or so.

It was printed on vinyl foil, and glued/pasted on the glass walls. When the sunlight is out, it shines through the foil, and the scene becomes very vivid.  


The size is 9 x 1,2 meters. The largest drawing I have made so far.....

Incredible. Like a mixture of stained glass and a poster. It's something that your coworkers will be enjoying for years.

Well, if it's not enjoyable, I will have to live with it myself, my desk looks out to one of these skies....
