In this third episode of our series on awesome Dutch Tumblr users, we visit UIX designer and tech blogger simurai (not actually Dutch, but based in the Netherlands), who talks about his way to make technical subjects accessible to a broader audience and how Tumblr helps him accomplish just that.

Beautiful Pixels wrote an artist profile about me. Thanks a lot, turned out really nice. Although it feels a little strange, seeing your own picture up there.

ps. Thanks for letting the dog pee at my name. ;-)

Logo for a side project with the name "DB". The D is flipped and if you squeeze your eyes you will see that it has a shape of a ♥ with a dent in it. It's kinda like the bite from the Apple logo.

No, it's not for a break-up site and most likely it will never go further than this logo sketch.

Playing around with After Effects. It kinda looks like Darth Vader.

I just got the new Moo MiniCards. YAY! When they arrive in the shiny box, they are actually still not finished.. Just by cutting off the edges it looks like the card got shifted from a samurai sword cut.

Watch the making-of.. ahh.. no.. cutting-of video.

Added some custom icons to the site. The bigger ones on the top are scanned to keep the "sketchy" look. Makes it more personal and matches more the brush stroke style.

The small ones (footer/meta) are all painted pixel by pixel to make them as sharp as possible. If you scan/resize them from your sketch, they would look too blurry.

I’m spending the summer in Japan. Yesss.. the land of Samurai’s and robots!

The town is called Fukuoka and is located south-west of Japan. It’s really nice here and I like it a lot.

Concept art for PlayStation's game "Little Big Planet". It's a tamagochi/virtual pet like web app.. Unfortunately it's gonna stay just concept art.. huhu.. All items (except sackboy and the logo) were found on Flickr. It seems to me alot of people are into plush.

See bigger size the happy planet or dead planet.
