New drawings: Summer about lying in the grass watching the skies and time go by, circle of trust featuring my mum’s favourite colours, closer closer every night about a man I used to know, and my family about my father my mother my sister and me.

Lately I’ve been trying to get away from the computer and do more analogue, yes I mean on real paper, with ink stains on my hands and paint under my nails, learning to draw without ctrl-z. I need more practise, but so far it’s refreshing to play with new techniques.





Here are a few snapshots of the opening of the exhibition at the library last Tuesday. Thanks everybody for being there and making it such a wonderful evening!

I’m happy to announce my first big solo exhibition in Amsterdam, on the children’s book floor of the big central library next to central station. The opening will be Tuesday May 11 at 17h, and everybody is invited!

PS. Unlike what’s mentioned in these links, the exhibition opens and starts on May 11th.


Here’s a little sneak peek of one of the drawings I made for Querido’s third Poeziëspektakel, a book full of wonderful poetry and illustrations by both established and upcoming Dutch poets and illustrators. Quite exciting to have a few of my drawings published between so many talented people! It’s edited by (amongst others) Ted van Lieshout, and will be available from August.
