It has been such a privilege to make this special illustration for the royal Dutch bicycle factory Gazelle founded in 1892. A tile tableau located in the beautiful new Gazelle experience center at the heart of the original old factory. I was asked to make the design for the tile wall. To commemorate and honor the tile tableaus presented as a gift by the factory workers in 1927. Its a modern take on the tile walls made by graphic artist Andre Vlaanderen back in 1927.
