The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam holds an annual competition to create items to promote themselves and possibly sell in their huge gift shop. Entrants are free to use anything from the vast Rijksmuseum collection.
After exploring the whole museum a few times and searching the online Rijksstudio library, honest, i ended up using the most obvious painting as reference for a couple of cosy nightshirts. They would be very comfortable after a long night of watching.
Despite making it into the top ten finalists from thousands of entries and even after crafting an amazing video introducing myself and the idea, i only got a bunch of flowers. Oh well, goedenacht!
