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.

Sproojesbos (detail)

A little detail of one of the illustrations for the children’s book for Pica.. which I finished at last!

Cover

I spent the last days trying to work on my relationship with analogue acrylics and in the end reverted to my true love, i.e. Photoshop. It’s the first drawing for the new Pica book, and it’s finished! It’s the cover, so the part on the right will wrap around and become the front of the book, with the title at the top part, and the left half of the drawing will serve as the backdrop for the text on the back. The story is about two children who get slightly lost in the forest, and what befalls them.. You can read how it ends and see the rest of the drawings in autumn, when the book will be published!
