Happy 2011!
The first thing I did this year, was to find some top quality footage of Special Forces who are reading up on some top secret intelligence papers. You can keep an eye on them on your desktop: download wallpaper (1920x1200px, 2mb)

This drawing was inspired by books and drawings from the University of Amsterdam’s Bijzondere Collecties.

There there! Here’s a new children’s book that I illustrated a few months ago for Pica Educatief, called Joya gaat op reis. It’s about a little girl who goes on a little journey with a red balloon (don’t try it at home!) and in this period I was quite inspired by the colors of the interior of the house I grew up in…

Oh, it’s been a while since I’ve been here! I’ve been hiding here and there for the last few months, reorganizing life once more and shaking off some old ideas that I had about the future..

Here is a belated update: Querido’s Poeziëspektakel 3 has been out for a while and these are the drawings that I contributed:

» Brieven

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.
