15. Nature Collect + Connect

—

Kaitlin Ziesmer and Pablo Hannon met through Instagram, loving each other's creations on a regular basis. And so, this is the start of something new. And also of the old, Fall is knocking on the door and the first treasures are to be discovered on the moist of the woods or garden. This collab is about many things, combined. First, there's the collect. Then there's the canvas, the not so ordinary sink, central masterpiece of a household. All that enters, is washed and (re)used. And so it goes, with the collection of nature finds. And finally we take it one last step further, the composition. This is all about connecting the pieces... and the collectors. This process was set out before the start. It was interesting to see how the elements and the unusual setting controlled our creative addition to every step in the result.

14. Rorsach thoughts

—

Throw your heavy thoughts and inner fantasies at these acrylic creatures. They were made to stare and wander what it would be like to live on them, like on a planet. Manon and Pablo and paper and two colours of paint. That's what Sundays are for.

Photographed by Manon Wethly, paintsplashpressed by Pablo Hannon and as it goes in a collab, conceived together.

13. Let's be closer

—

Distance can be a drag and an opportunity at the same time. I want to be where you are, you want to be where I am. Let's be together and spend some time together. Creative collabs are usually born from a personal wish. "Come to Singapore" " Come to Belgium" And so, every week Wen Ling and Pablo will be spending some time together. In Singapore and in Hasselt. Hanging out. Doing silly stuff. Doing a Tina Fey photobomb. Doing the give-the-ice-cream-to-me- stare. Keeping it simple.

12. A4 times 3 to the third

—

Another collab is born, and this one smells like art! Joren Peters, Christophe De Schauvre and Pablo Hannon have launched their A4 triangular collab. A work is made, shared with the other two (times 3) and while a new work is made, a reaction to the two other works is also made. The end? A multiplied amount of A4's, and a series of works that definitely will be influenced by eachother... sooner or later.

11. Portrait you, portrait me

—

As I stumbled upon the awesome portrait blog http://portraitsss.tumblr.com of Miyu Kuno, I knew we had to do a collab. A get to know each other portrait making collab. It is a really special feeling, drawing eyes and facial lines of a person still unknown to you. It's intimate odd, following those lines with pencil, pen or brush. And here we are, we loved it. Miyu and Pablo are now portrait pals.
