A Rotterdammer in Amsterdam

Yes, all rumors are true, what many peo­ple thought was impos­si­ble has even­tu­ally hap­pened. A guy called Billy has moved to Ams­ter­dam. Can this be inter­preted as a ges­ture to end the ancient ani­mos­ity between the two rival cities? Can Billy bring some real Rot­ter­dam work ethic to the spoiled city of Ams­ter­dam? Is it pos­si­ble for Billy to stand his ground with his non Ams­ter­dam accent and Rot­ter­dam proudly exposed on his arm. We will see it al hap­pen here. On this web­site you will see how Billy rocks Ams­ter­dam, and if Ams­ter­dam will con­quer a spe­cial place in that Rot­ter­dam heart.

This is the site to keep an eye out for Billy, a Rock ‘N’ Roll designer. You can say Billy is an all-round designer, but with a Rock ‘N’ Roll approach. Mean­ing that being a designer is a way of liv­ing. Some­thing that is in effect 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can’t turn that off. The Rock ‘N’ Roll way of work­ing is rec­og­niz­able as well, Start right at the base, be fully com­mit­ted and go all the way. Don’t get dis­tracted by what the oth­ers do, because that is not auto­mat­i­cally the right thing. Always keep ques­tion­ing the way things are done even if they are done the same way for years. Dare to be dif­fer­ent and believe in your­self! Billy always strives to stand out of the crowd, but need­less to say, always keeps the clients inter­est at heart.

Reservoir Mugs

Zimmerman Pantone Mug
My buddy Mr. Zim­mer­man was in the stu­dio when I gave him his cof­fee, he looked at me and asked me why I gave him the pink mug… That reminded me of the Reser­voir Dogs scene, here is the A guy called Billy ver­sion as it would heve played out:

“Pan­tone 1545 C, Pan­tone 549 C, Pan­tone 464 C, Pan­tone 286 C, Pan­tone 021 C, and Pan­tone 230 C”
“Why do I have Pan­tone 230 C?”
“Cause you’re a fag­got.”
“Why can’t we pick out our own col­ors?”
“I tried that once, it don’t work. You get four guys fight­ing over who’s gonna have Pan­tone Black 4C.  Since nobody knows any­body else, nobody wants to back down.  So for­get it, I pick.  Be thank­ful you don’t got Pan­tone 388C.”
“Yeah, but Pan­tone 1545 C?  That’s too close to Shit.”
“Yeah, Pan­tone 230 C looks like Pussy.  Tell you what, let me have Pan­tone 2583 C.  That sounds good to me, I’ll have Pan­tone 2583 C.”
“You’re not get­ting Pan­tone 2583 C, some­body from another job’s got Pan­tone 2583 C. You got Pan­tone 230 C.”
