wall street journal

I was published in The Wall Street Journal today!! I don't have enough social media channels to brag about this, I'm so out of my mind! Have to try and find a copy of it somewhere in Amsterdam, or else I just have to buy a ticket to NY. In the meantime I made a screendump of the article. And yeah, I'm going to frame it alright! I'm probably too hysterical about it, but no shit?!!

UPPERCASE

A few months ago I was selected to contribute to the third edition of 'Work/Life 3: the UPPERCASE directory of illustration'. I'm a huge fan of the UPPERCASE magazine, and to be part of this book was quite a big deal to me! Finally the book is printed and I can't wait for it to cross the Atlantic Ocean. But before that at least I'm allowed to show the outcome of my assignment. This assignment was based on an interview given to editor Janine Vangool in which I mentioned living on the prettiest square in Amsterdam. The illustration shows how my personal life and surroundings are woven into my work. I thought it fit in well with this edition's theme 'An Illustrated Life', in which "the personal nature of Work/Life is pushed to a new level."
It's going to be another great book by UPPERCASE you don't want to miss! Buy it here! 

thank Sue

Met up with turbo-talented Sue Doeksen yesterday who surprised me with these awesome cans with silkscreened labels. They are given a place of honor, which is yet to be decided..

Sorry for the detour, dear family members coming from Facebook. 

that's why..

Now I know what's with all the houses! I have to squeeze at least one of them into almost every illustration these days. But there you have it: I'm secretly being manipulated by my iMacs reflective display.. Love it.

the worst trips

I haven't been a model blogger lately, but I was either too busy or too lazy. Also my site could use some updating, but I will get to that. In the meantime here's my latest, published in Dutch newspaper de Volkskrant. It's the first in a series on the worst trips written by some of Dutch finest. This one is about the ordeals when going on holiday with a camper. For years I envied my neighbors seeing them packing theirs and driving off to unknown but surely gypsy-like destinations. Until I read the article and my mind is at peace now.
