Greg Shapiro, the Dutch DudeWithSign

'Dude with Sign.' I've been inspired by his work. And - as an artist - that's my way of saying I'm stealing his idea.  In March 2021, I did a series of 'Dutch Dude with Sign' poses to encourage the Dutch English-speaking community to get more involved with the Dutch elections. But now I'm picking up where I left off - nu helemaal in het Nederlands.

On my YouTube channel, I have a long-running show called 'United States of Europe' - Making fun of the EU the American way. So of course, I had to make fun of the EU's comically slow Covid vaccination rates, as compared to the US and the UK. BUT along the way, I realized - it's not that simple. In fact, in many ways EU vaccination policy is not as bad as you'd think. Trendwatcher Vincent Everts liked the video and interviewed me about it.
