Exploring new media

I bought myself some markers and took an old sketch, and this is what I ended up with. I really like the way markers can add color to a sketch leaving the sketch intact. I'll definitely will be using markers more often!

Happy new beer!

Illustration about organ donation

Illustration for 'De Correspondent' about the altruistic deed of donating an organ for a stranger.

The article refers to the biblical story of the good samaritan. This is why the donor is depicted in the style of a stained glass window.

Cowboy

I wanted to try something more cartoony... for some reason blogger darkens the images... Does anybody know why this is?

Pop-up house

I created these two concepts of Hansl and Gretl's hous as a popup book for a pitch. They were based on the two illustrations below. I was really fun to visualise this concept. The book however will probably not be made, since it is used merely to sell a concept.

The Boston Beard

I don't know much about baseball, but visually I was intrigued by the idea of baseball players growing their beards. This is not a specific player, just an imaginative character

Gregory Porter

Yesterday I went to a concert of the great jazz singer Gregory Porter. Here's my impression of him singing. Listen to his great music here: LINK

CTNX 2013

From november 15 - 17 the annual CTN animation expo will be held in Burbank CA.
This year I will be attending again, sharing a booth with my buddy Edwin Rhemrev. Stop by and say hi at our booth T103.
Also I will be speaking at this years event. The title of my lecture is '5 principles that helped me become a better artist'. During my work as a freelance illustrator for over ten years, working on many different kinds of illustration work, ranging from caricatures and character designs to children's books and editorial illustrations, I learned a lot about how these different fields of illustration are connected. Often the same fundamentals, the same creative process and the same knowledge is needed to create a piece of art. In this talk I will go into five principles that helped me a lot improving my art.
I look forward to meeting you there!

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.
