nspired by dutch artist DJ Chantelle (a member of the Rotterdam "Artoonisten"), who makes great punky keramic sculptures and plates with surreal obscene imagery, we have been busy making collages of found plates (mainly G.D.R. ones) combined with computer generated imagery of our own making. Like DJ Chantelle's, they are often sexual, and, in our case, designed to have  a vintage look, all scratchy and worn.

They turned out so neat that we found ourselves making some portrait ones to put in the online shop of the Maertini Broes (the Berlin electro act). The idea is to adapt the portraits to the styles of "found plates". The first blue & white set use the original standard G.D.R. state-restaurant plates and are still in tune with the cool blue coorperate identity designed for the Maertinis by Twig, but further down stuff gets out of hand..
