De correspondent

 

This is an illustration I did for thye new digital magazine: ' De Correspondent'. (LINK)
The story is about the fact that more and more families are in financial trouble. They can't pay their rent and have to live with many others in care homes.

Rock on!

Caricatures

A few years back I did this fun job for a communication agency. They asked me to do a few caricatures of them, and place these caricatures into several settings. The were going to be used in a presentation.
For the Bonny and Cleyde version I was asked to use the reference litterally. The other illustrations were based on subjects from the lecture.

Character sketches

In Russia I met Pedro Conti (LINK to his website) He's a great 3D designer, and I couldn't resist doing some sketches based on his pirate design.

Pirate-cowgirl

I couldn't decide wether to draw a pirate or a cowgirl. It became a bit of both...

Plein air 'round the corner

I had an hour yesterday to do a quick oil sketch on a deserted and overgrown contruction site down the block.

I'm working on this awesome project. The story for this children's book was written by the greatTjibbe Veldkamp. It is incredibly funny, and I'm a blast working on the illustrations. Now this is really a book that I'd love to see published overseas. I get asked a lot about my books in the USA. The thing is...they are not published in the USA. So if any of you can get me in touch with a good publisher in the USA, who'd be interested in an incredibly funny childrens book, please send me a message.
