Jackson Hole!
Jackson Hole is an area so pretty, you drive no more than five minutes to spot an antelope and a buffalo herd. I could just stay and get gorgeous pictures right here. But what's the fun in that? We ride out tomorrow. One week in those mountains: no electricity, no showers, no cell phones, no roads, no buildings, no humans but hunters. Instead: dogs, horses, moose, elk, wolves, grizzlies, bald eagles and the great wide open. America at its very finest.

Jackson Hole, Wyoming
Dear folks, I am about to embark on adventure the likes of which I've never seen before. Those of you that know me are familiar with my anticipation anxiety - I've been working up to this trip for nearly two years now. But my plane is almost about to leave and I can't help but share my nerves. I'm going on an elk hunt. Elk stalking in the Rocky mountains is nothing like any hunt I've seen. We'll be on horseback from before dawn till after dusk, and grizzly bears are abundant wherever we go. My biggest fear is my horse being spooked by a bear, running off, and throwing me into a ditch halfway through its tantrum. I spoke to the hunters, and the bear you see in the illustration has just worked its way through a food trailer made up of nearly an inch of "bear proof" steel. In one of the camps where we'll be staying. I'm not afraid of animals unless I really need to, and I believe I'm in very capable hands, but you know - bears. I've packed for every possible scenario, but as rational as I might be, there seems to be no foolproof mental preparation for a situation like this. I'll just have to go along and enjoy the ride. Please, dear people, wish me luck. And I will promise to do my best to bring back gorgeous images. Frankly, it seems to me that not doing so is a virtual impossibility. I'm going to the freaking Rockies. Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Elk stalking. It's actually happening. From next week on, I'll give you updates as frequently as I can.
I love you all.

Isabella Hunts in Gup Gallery!
I'm proud to present my new solo exhibition Isabella Hunts in the brand new Gup Gallery. Gup Magazine is opening their new gallery today, and I have the honor of kicking it off with a solo exhibition. The exhibition shows an overview of my hunting project so far. It is a work in progress that will likely take another four years to complete. The show features work shot in the Netherlands, Germany, the Deep South of the US and the United Arab Emirates. Some of the work has never been published, and most of it has never been exhibited before. So come by and have a look!
The show will be on view from September 7 - 28. Gup Gallery Ferdinand Bolstraat 1 Amsterdam, The Netherlands More info here.

This is an animated portrait I made of my brother, Rafaël. He is a digital artist and we made a portrait in honor of Finger Battle, a very fun red and blue app he designed.

Peruvian Hairless & Sphynx
Peruvian hairless dogs are an ancient, majestic breed. They look like impressive bronze statues.They are the kind of dog you could picture guarding the gates of hell. They're also great for a run along your favorite nudist beach.

It's always great to sell a picture and see it up on someone's wall, especially if it goes to such a fitting home.
