Boekie Boekie - Morning walk


My illustration for the new Boekie boekie magazine. My inspiration for this one was Japanese illustrator Tadahiro Uesugi, who is simply brilliant. (I should be ashamed for even mentioning his name)

Catching up - part 2


These came a while ago, it's the book I illustrated last year.
You can see the first few pages here
Sadly you can't get the book in stores, as it's part of a series distributed to schools and such. But you can order it here) from the publisher's site.

(So much for this being an ad-free site)

Where the Wild Things Are

Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak is one of the books that made me choose to become an illustrator. Most people here know it as Max en de Maximonsters, a far worse title than the original, but ...oh well.
At any rate, after a really very long time the 1st trailer of the film-adaptation was released today.
And before you say; 'really? Do they have to ruin every book with another stupid movie?',
Sendak personally reserved the rights to approve the director. And so the film fell in the hands of Spike Jonze, who you should know as the director of Being John Malkovich.
So, now that you are properly prepared,
here you go:


I can't wait!

Edit - There's an annoying commercial attached to the video. I'll replace the video as soon as I find a different one to embed.

back home - Catching up part 1

Today I came home with lots of things. Most of them came from my father's house,
but some of it was mine before. Namely a bunch of prints and drawings from the Zone5300 exhibition in november.
And here's something I never had the chance to put up here. They're leaves I found last autumn.

The place where ducks walk on fish


I made this recently, it's inspired by a unique occurence near the village of Linesville Pennsylvania. It's gotten me thinking about doing a series of pictures about roadside attractions.
