Calendar


I made a calendar design. With this kind of things i'm happy that i have a graphic design background! Every month there's another new illustration above. On the right there is a little description about the illustration.

I realized that the week starts on a different day in America than in Europe. In Amercia for example it starts with "sunday".The dutch calendars starts with "monday" ...i always thought this was kind of weird because when we learn the days of the week as a kid we start with sunday. So i prefer the American way...

"Perfume"


Acrylics on Rives BFK paper. 43,5 cm x 31,5 cm.
Finally finished this personal work. It was nice to try different kind of paper. I think i prefer the hotpress watercolor paper from Arches. I like the way she looks, i wanted to give the illustration sphere.

Workspace

You have a lot of blogs these days, but i realize that there aren't videoblogs from illustrators, so i'm going to do this more now!  This is a 5 min movie where i show you around in my atelier / workspace. I thought it would be nice to show where i work and paint.

Cover illustration: A.L.O.I.S


I finally finished my project A.L.O.I.S. with six illustrations for a little book. It's about people who struggle with addictions. I had different keywords like selfknowledge, convinced or succes to work with. It was great to make a serie and did a little character design because i had to draw the figure 6 times. Here are a few proces pictures.



The cover should show a figure who looks at himself in the mirror and standing in a fightposition. I changed the elements a little. The hands don't need boxing gloves because i think it's more natural without them and otherwise you refer to sport. The guy is smashing the mirror and breaks his own image. Sometimes you have to break with old habbits to build new ones!
