Profile Information

I found out about Transition Towns...
When I was browsing the net
In the context of Transition Towns my interests / passions are:
I'm interested in permaculture, graphics and design, art, native plants, music, networking, self managed energy systems, worm farming, and education in general.
What are you happy to share about yourself:
Born in the Netherlands, I've been living in The Waitakeres, New Zealand, again for the past three years. I have studied Art and Teaching in The Netherlands. I also created and exhibited my own work while there including paintings and sculpture. Still creating art and exhibiting as well as doing graphics and website design. I have a poltical design alias known as, Black Falcon, producing political clothing appliques and clothes created from materials that are environmentally sustainable, such as organic cotton, hemp fabrics and 2nd generation clothing.

Hey Maurice, I'm a marketing specialist, new media & online, PR is my favourite "traditional marketing" tool but the most important thing is to just get out there and build relationships with people, so I talk to people. I see my work as connecting talented people and opportunities. Plus, I 'm all about intuition and just feel that your combination of talent and values will appeal to peoples design consciousness. As for these t-shirts you'll make much better use than I ever could so I'd like you to have them but if you want you can cover the cost of postage. What's your address up there? I'd be keen to talk to you (skype rlee0007) before sussing samples - to find out about your vision. Let me know if you have time. Cheers, Renee.

Wow, Maurice what an amazing talent you have. I'm at a loss for words to do your work justice, except to say that I love it. My first company (back in the days) shipped organic cotton t-shirts in children & adult sizes from Oz. I still have a collection of t -shirts, about, What would you do with children sizes, I wonder? They're yours, if you keep me in mind should you ever need someone promoting your label with high end stores down these ways. When can we see the next collection?

Greetings Maurice. Good to see you here. ...Black Falcon, producing political clothing appliques and clothes created from materials that are environmentally sustainable, such as organic cotton, hemp fabrics and 2nd generation clothing... Could you tell us a little more. Sounds very interesting. I love the beetle on BlackFalcon.
