Introduction:

For more than 10 years Marit Barentsen organizes the top 2000 blog party. A creative party around the songs of this years top2000 that takes place in the last week of this year. Everyone can join.

This blogpost contains all the art work I made for the Top 2000 blog party of 2014. I removed the original blogposts to clean up the website a bit, but I like leaving the art work available.

You can see my entries for 2012 here and my 2013 entries here
