StormHand 20 Years 07 05 2013
In may 1993 Boy Bastiaens and Albert Kiefer joined forces for the very first time in an illustration assignment for Blad, the Dutch bimonthly magazine about visual culture. The -3xR- stage trick with letters performed by a conjoined magicians twin became the kick-off for a repertoire of images in a wide variety of styles. As well as the start of a great friendship: an extraordinary time and lots of fun. Collaborating on a project means mainly teaming up directly from out their own studio’s through e-mail, phone and regular post, as the result of a 80 km distance between the two design practises. Which works pretty well as they're doing so now for 20 years.
