Sterrenregen

Only with a couple of hundred dollars in his pocket Woody left Rotterdam in 1961 to travel to New York. Looking for freedom. Once he was there, he stepped into a whole new world and met a couple of other artists. He stayed for two years and came back full of inspiration.

Woody’s works often show brand names and logo’s. Here it’s presented as art instead of advertisement.

In this artwork you can see the Michelin man. For over a 120 years this has been the mascotte for Michelin, the car tire brand. Nowadays it is also a symbol for the famous Michelin stars that every restaurant wants to have.

Did you know the Michelin man is actually called Bibendum? He’s made of a huge stack of tires. Now he’s the icon of the car tire.

Stars often remind you of the sky, the night or outer space. But stars are so much more than a few balls of gas lightyears away. They are also used to add value to different things. Think about movies that can be rated 1 to 5 stars. The more stars, the better.
