Mijn naam is Haas

These are some sketches and illustrations that I have been working on lately. The project is called: Mijn naam is Haas" and it will consist of children's books and educational computer games. Trailers and full story can be found here

My name is Haas is a charming multimedia concept for young children (age 3-7 years). Picture books introduce characters like Haas, a young Hare, and Sofie, a little duck, and their world. Within the educational games children experience adventures together with the characters. These games are available on CD-ROM as well as online (in the near future). More info at mijnnaamishaas.nl

The book 'Nooit meer nat!' and the game 'Lekkere lucht' just came out, and are in store now!
'Groen Genoeg and 'Vreemde vogels' will both be published later...

De Coole Cowboy

My new book is out!!! It is called 'De Coole Cowboy' and was written by Tjibbe Veldkamp. The story is about a little boy and a girl. The boy fantasises about being a cowboy. Then the girl disturbs his fantasy by making up castles and knights, that don't fit in a cowboy fantasy. The result is an exciting adventure in which the two constantly try to 'outfantasise' each other.

Door en Door winter

These are some sketches and an illustration for an upcoming book called 'Door en Door winter'

technique study

I am still deciding wether I'll use gouache or acrylics for the illustrations in my next book.

Since the story has a lot of different moods and different types of weather I may go for acrylics, which makes the flow of the paint, and looseness a lot easier.

Here's a quick sketch I made, trying to find an answer...
