Great version of an even greater song. Killer bass!

And this one is my Talking Heads favorite ever! Born under punches! Auwch! Tribal!

Last September, threegirls travelled to Egypt. Some sweet Egyptian friends guided them around Cairo, which is a disaster of a city. Too many cars, too much hassling, and not a single (green) space to give your bottom a rest. After four days, threegirls had to sweat out Cairoan stress far far away from the smog and the hooting. So they went to the Sinai desert, where the stars are plenty and the camels smirk. Sho-kran Sinai!

This map may help you to travel around my portfolio. It is highly recommended to deviate from the highlighted path. You can cross borders, go back and forth, run round in circles, take pictures, or a nap, do anything you want. Except littering and peeing! Here you’ll find a bigger version. Here, you’ll find the dull version.

Currently, a big army of craftsmen, contractors and plumbers are working diligently on a new office for the three girls. In other words, this site will get a new homepage (sooner or later). Already some sketches..

For an overview of our portfolio, look here:

Hello, we are threegirls and this is our mission statement! Over.

First of all, we would like to welcome you with a lot of appetizers, bubbles, festoons and one of our favorite pictures: ‘Agar and Sandy, Big Sur’ (1961). The American iconoclast Hunter S. Thompson is the man behind the camera. Why favorite? First of all, therefore. Secondly: summer, loyalty, witticism, freedom, honeyed love, and a lot of views.

Hunter S. Thumpson is mostly known for his novel ‘Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas’ (a savage journey to the heart of the American Dream), and for his sharp Rolling Stone magazine articles. He was a bit too anger-driven, paranoid and acerbic to be our hero, but nevertheless a very intriguing nutcase.

H.S.T. is the godfather of Gonzo journalism, ‘a style of reporting where reporters involve themselves in the action to such a degree that they become central figures of their stories’. To be clear, this is not the main aim of threegirls. We will try not to focus on ourselves too much, but rather on the world around us. We like to go outside (mostly with sunglasses, that is).

Nevertheless, there are some similarities between H.S.T. and threegirls’s mission. The visceral honesty, the blend of fact and fantasy, the self-styled mixture of news, opinion and personal experiences. You certainly may regard Hunter S. Thompson as the forerunner of modern day ‘ogging (vlog blog whatever). We also admire his tireless battle against hypocrisy and his contempt for authority, but we don’t want to shoot every convention cantankerously like he did. That’s too hippie.

We are also a bit smarter than H.S.T.! His great thirst for all the world’s whiskey, drug use and everlasting love for firearms turned the sharp-tongued smoking social critic with aviator glasses into a cartoon character – literally and figurative. We, threegirls, are already cartoon characters before we even started! Ha! If that isn’t the ultimate anticipation in history of humankind, we don’t know what is.

Anyway.

From now on we’ll post drawings, photos, video and text every now and then, when we feel like it. We don’t plan to become a victim of the web. This is not a blog, or a vlog, or a trough, but a wedon’tknowyethowoften-monthly kinda thing tings.

Dutch is our mother tongue, but we’ll often write in English. Yes, we admit, this is a rather impure language habit, but it is not our fault (determinism has saved us many times before). We mix up languages because we were raised like that, going from place to place. We also like languages too much, so we want to use them all, so maybe we are a bit greedy too. Voila.

And on a bright sunny day, we will get rid of that ennoying catholic sense of guilt reflex as well.

To conclude, why are we doing this?
We don’t have a clue.

Talk to you soon.
