Moleskine Sketchbook. The paper is so fine, top quality heavy acid-free paper, 13 x 21 cm - 5 x 8 1/4".
I really recommend it.
My intern gave me at the end of the internship these sweet gifts.

Last month i:
- finished my moleskine for The Sketchbook Project.
- Made a movie with Roland Pupupin about the sketchbook
- We also took shots outside of a chair i painted.
- I made some little illustrations for frankwatching.nl and some other little illustrations for a webapplication.

Editing is time consuming so time needs to be reservated. The updates about these projects will come!

This month i want to focus on:
- my new painting
- another wedding card design
- logodesign
- and i want to make some new illustrations/paintings!

I am featured on Juxtapoz! I really like the book of Juxtapoz i've got from a friend last year. They publish great art. www.juxtapoz.com

I am featured on Illustration Age. http://illustrationage.com/ Every day Thomas James from www.escapefromillustrationisland.com posts new artists. Tip of the day! This website is great because i always listen to podcasts of interviews with other illustrators there.
