the golden trio

After a long time i finally had the opportunity to do a commisioned caricature again. These are Johan Cruijff, Rinus Michels, and Marco van Basten: three of Hollands best soccer coaches.

I did it in little over one day. Very little time. The whole illustration was done digitally.

The first drawing depicts the infamous Jules Deelder. The second sketch is a quick study of the actor Ron Perlman.

The final illustration I did for U&UWV. I like the retro style, playing with the picture elements in a very graphic way.

SMURF!

I have had the honor to cooperate on a TV-commercial for Albert Heijn. Hollands biggest supermarket. The commercial is about the smurfs that you can get for free when you do your shopping at AH. It was my job to design the Harry character, and to paint all of the Backgrounds. I had a lot of fun doing this job, and also I learned a lot about animation, since it was my first animation project. The storyboard was done by the great Daan Jippes and the movie was directed by Hans Buying.


As you can see this is the evolution of the Harry character. I had to navigate between likeness and smurfness...
