Any fun things to do in #brussels ? Like exhibitions, conferences about #art #design #graphicdesign or other things? I'm fully open to anything really :)

This is one of the best critiques of logo design trends I have seen in a while, and since I teach logo design, I will definitely share it with my students!

Had a brilliant time at this year's Conpulsion and meeting everyone. Also my team was 2nd in the pub quiz! Thanks to organisers for inviting me and to design the logo.

Ok Paperposts is active again.

If anyone wants to see something in particular, DM me as I have no priority or order in mind.

and
https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2025/04/pinta-3-0-released-with-new-effects-and-gtk4-port

A new version of Pinta has been released with big updates.

For those unfamiliar, Pinta, is a free, open-Source Image editor.

Think Less Photoshop, more MS Paint on Steroids. Although that's underselling it.

The update includes a modern UI refresh, new icons, better performance new effects & more.
