I reanimated my Flickr account, and uploaded a selection of photos from Bologna, and some snapshots too. Now there’s only a few trips I still need to sort out and then I’m finally up to date with my travel photos. Let’s see how long that will take me..

I cycled through the countryside for hours, submerged in the scent of flowers.

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!

I came back from the Bologna Children’s Book Fair, with heaps of inspiration, books and business cards. On the airplane I met Siri, Cecile, Lobke and Jorine, four illustrating girls from the Netherlands and I had a great time (and heaps of icecream) with them, including meeting mr. Carll Cneut himself in the most wonderful children’s bookstore..

Here’s Sieben’s latest album, As they should sound, with live photos that I made last summer in Utrecht. It’s always nice to see my concert photos ending up somewhere useful, especially at musicians that I like so much! The booklet is beautifully designed by Othila. The album will officially be released March 30, you can buy it at the Sieben website.
