Name – Joost Stokhof
Occupation – Illustrator
You've made illustrations for the upcoming Rapha city guide on Amsterdam, what is your connection with the city? I was born and raised in Amsterdam, it's the city that I lived in until I was about twenty. I moved to Utrecht to go to art school. After my education was done I stayed in Utrecht but I have plans to live back in Amsterdam some day.

What, if any, parallels could you draw between design and bike/ BMX riding?
They're both major creative outlets. Any sport not governed by a coach/mentor will evidently allow individuals to put their own touch on things. It's the freedom to experiment that often results in innovation and progression. There's the obvious areas of both design and riding that fall into the more commercial or athletic, but there's always people doing things differently. To break it down to it's most basic form: they're both ways of expressing yourself.
