De prins en de puinhoop

On January 28th Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands has announced she will resign and her son Prince Willem Alexander will become king on april 30th of this year. Some time ago I made a childrens book with author Tjibbe Veldkamp about the abdication. In the book the 'true story' is told about the queen and her son. The book is still available, for instance here: LINK

Armstrong

It has been a while since I last did a caricature. I had lots of fun exaggerating features once again!

Gouache

I wanted to experiment with other kinds of watercolor paper, and create a composition based on photo reference.  I used a japanese brush, and I like the randomness of the shapes of its brushstrokes.

December 5th

Today is the big day for a lot of children in holland: 'Sinterklaas' a typical dutch tradition. At the moment I am working on character designs for the 2D animated feature 'trippel trappel' about this event. Although Sinterklaas will be leaving after tonight, I will be drawing him and his helpers for the following weeks... I hope to share more designs soon.

Happy 'pakjesavond' everyone!

Sax!
