Thank god that's over.

Just spent the past three weeks working on the illustrations for a book in the Gestreepte boekjes series. They're books published for children who are learning to read. Kind of like the little golden books from the fifties. And with that in mind I tried to make my illustrations a bit different from my usual style. More colourful, stylised and straightforward,
which turned out to be quite difficult.
Here's a study for the illustrations.



Oh and actually it was quite fun to do though, for the most part.

Changes

Update your linkies pets (or if that sounds to homosexual for you, update your bookmarks buckaroos!), from now on my homebase will be here www.groeneinkt.nl. A brand new site, built with these hands.
Granted, right now it still needs one more page and the buttons to return to the main menu don't work, but it's only been online for ten minutes.
Soon though, soon it'll be all ready.
And then, I shan't leave the blogosphere, but having a real site of my own, my professional face to the world, will actually make blogging more fun. So expect more doodles and loads of other stuff.
Now, go look at my site!

Pom Poko!

Tanukis!

Last month my mom gave me a belated birthday present, a rather wonderful one called a pentel brush pen. A Japanese invention, that is basically a pen with a brush instead of a nib at the end. I'm learning to draw all over again. It's frustrating, but I'm liking it immensely.
