- The making of... Bubbles
-
No, not a lesson in anatomy! Here's the making of the birth card and box design. As with all new posts on TV15, you must click on an image to see it larger.Posted by oVan on Wednesday, March 07, 2007 | Permanent Link | 0 comments
1) June 2006 - Some initial ideas, design sketches and color choices:
2a) July 2006 - Finally settled on this pencil sketch design (The tall figure "Bouboule" is Jakob and looks with pride downwards, while the small "Bubbles" character looks up to Jakob with a nice smile):
2b) Digitized and colorized version. (The J on the chest of Bubbles has been removed because it should've been on the chest of Jakob):
3) August 2006: box design with solo Bubbles and photo of Jakob:
The box originally featured a partially transparent insert above the photo of Jakob, but because of technical problems (the ink wouldn't dry due to the humid weather), we only kept the orange duotone-photo.
Due to it's large success, we didn't have enough boxes for everyone. We really regret it, but at least you can view it here now :-)Labels: announcement, birth card, box, design, Jakob

Here are the 2 last photos of Pistache van Bastis, our mighty Cameo Persian cat...Posted by oVan on Wednesday, March 07, 2007 | Permanent Link | 0 comments
Pistache was without a doubt the most friendly and softest cat we've known, he never did anyone harm and was always happy to be at your side...
On 28 June 2006 we had to put him to sleep... the heat, his age (1994-2006) and the changing family were all too much for him. Rest in peace, pientjes!

1 August 2006: Because of the extreme and long heat we had this summer, the grass was totally dry and the garden started to look like a desert.Posted by oVan on Wednesday, March 07, 2007 | Permanent Link | 0 comments
Jakob didn't seem to mind though: as soon as the sun was behind an overcast sky, he was running around in the hot garden with an inflatable ball.

Originally titled "At Sea #12", this photo of mommy and Jakob could also be titled "Reflection", both literally and figuratively. It's one of the last photos before Bubbles is born.Posted by oVan on Tuesday, March 06, 2007 | Permanent Link | 0 comments
The photo was taken with daddy's infrared camera. You can find some more infrared photos in daddy's Fotocommunity Gallery.

On 22 July 2006 we went to the beach in De Haan. Daddy & Jakob went into the water:Posted by oVan on Monday, March 05, 2007 | Permanent Link | 0 comments
As you can see, there was a lot of wind:
Here is Jakob and mommy (and Bubbles in her belly)!
Jakob had a great time...as you can see!

Hello everyone, and welcome to TV15!Posted by oVan on Monday, March 05, 2007 | Permanent Link | 3 comments
From now on, this is the new channel where Jakob and Willem will broadcast.
You can subscribe with an RSS reader, Google Reader, or using the Feeds-functionality in your Internet Explorer 7 or Mozilla FireFox browser.
Note that although the old "House of Jakob" blog will not be updated anymore, it will remain alive so you can look up old photos.
Since we still have a lot of catching up to do, the posts coming first are from a while ago. Don't worry, there's plenty to see :-)
Enjoy your stay!
