Alledaags. A year in the life of an Amsterdam Expat.

Juli 9th, 2010 • Books, Friends

Just a quick personal note and a recommendation for my fellow Amsterdamers.

As I am still a fresh expat in Amsterdam, I found this interesting book project that will finally see the light of day on Saturday, 10th of July, at the American Bookcenter, Amsterdam. They’re hosting a book launch/signing with Toby Morris from 2 to 5pm. Toby Morris is a New Zealand born illustrator who started his Amsterdam life at W&K. He has now created ‘Alledaags’, a collection of illustrations recording a year in the life of an ex-pat in Amsterdam (some of you probably know what he is talking about ;-)

In January 2009 Toby Morris began a daily sketchbook diary documenting his life and his observations of his adopted city. Alledaags collects 333 of the drawings and covers everything from canal boats, hair gel and the madness of Queen’s Day to Vondelpark picnics, Zwarte Piet and blunt Dutch service.

Looks like a very interesting little book project. Go there if you happen to be in Amsterdam on Saturday. Check out the book if

you’re not. Learn more on Toby’s blog.
