Beste wishes to you all for 2010!!!
After many requests and several tries I am finally setting up my own website. This website will be to inform you of my recent activities. There will be columns, comix’s, hand crafts, pictures en more of my recent accomplished work.
I am still busy on it but we are getting there!!!!
During our visit in Phnom Penh/Cambodia I visited the Genocide museum “ Tuol Sleng”…. Shock art!! It was really horrible experience. Al these people were photographed before being tortured and being killed. These pictures were making me feel nauseous ..you can see the little girl is just about to cry ,but holding back ..a snapshot ..now she is no more ..she is in the museum ..a piece of art ..the perpetrators are still there and can see their handiwork hanging on the wall ..probably proud of it.
I decided to dedicate the next exposition to the victims of the Khmer Rough regime. We are also planning to portrait the accused and contacted one of the lawyers already who is defending one of them.
We are talking to several organisation/goverments as the Dutch embassy for possible funds.
Some of the work which I finished.

We have started to working on the t-shirts which we would like to sell on our website www.bullshit-design.com. There are already two designs on our website and I also put them on ebay so lets see how it will go.
I also would like to give a % of the sells to charity but there are so many out there. So if you have an idea please let me know! You can contact us on peter@peter-klashorst.com.
Recently I have been drawing cartoons. I always have been drawing them but never as dedicated as to this moment. In many of the cartoons I play the mail role. My character (Peter) experiences all different adventures mostly based on my real life.
The cartoons are going to be published. I am only not sure which publisher is going to have the honor. If negotiations lead to nothing, I will personally publish them myself. Several cartoons can be seen on this site and on the website of my online shop “ Bullshit artist”.
I have been travelling in Africa and Asia for the last years and there for I have been unable to open my shop/atelier on regular hours. This the mean reason I decided to go online and I will combine it with my fiscal shop, Spuistraat 219 in Amsterdam. My shop in Amsterdam will open on regular hours in 2010.
My Bullshit artist shop is my perspective on the crazy world we are living in. A world of envy, war, sex people may think of my way of living the way they want. The mean thing is treat the people the way you would like to be treated and on your path never deliberately hurt anybody .
The original “Peter Klashorst” merchandise, all signed by me the artist, will vary from T-shit,polo’s, pictures and mug’s. The online shop "Bullshit artist”.
In the first quater of 2010 I will show some of my recent work. It will be a combination of pictures and paintings. At the moment I am busy laying the final touch to the exposition. The date & location is still unknown. But if you would be interested please send me an email peter@peter-klashorst.com
