Weddingcard

Pencil and Photoshop.11,5 cm by 18 cm.

Translation dutch: Stefan & Rosa are getting married.
I made this for a friend who is getting married. She wanted a heart with a couple on the front.
It's really "sweet" and normally i would bring some edgyness to it, but for a weddingcard, that's hard.

Sketch with blue and graphite pencil on paper. 21 cm x 29,7 cm.

 A little swan stamp i made out of a gum.

2011 makes me think about my illustration business. I made some goals for myself because i feel like i could finish more paintings and drawings than last year. I listened to a lot of podcasts about marketing, which was very helpful: www.marketing-mentor.com and i love to listen to other illustrators: http://escapefromillustrationisland.com/podcast/

Byebye dummy! My Moleskine sketchbook is on her way to the U.S.A. I send it by UPS...
I have to edit my text here. Don't send anything with UPS. They have a really bad service! It was there one week later. I called like a million times with the client-service... They don't give you back your money and they also won't call you back, even when they say they will. UPS is a bad company. Now you know!

Together with Roland Pupupin i made a little movie about the sketchbook. I will update it later.

Final pages for the Sketchbook Project!

Finally, the pages for The Sketchbook Project  are finished! (read more about the project here)
The book has to be postmarked by January 15th, so I have 9 days to send it to the US!
The postoffice said that if the book weight less than 500 gram it can be send by airplane, which will take a week.  If it weight more than 500grams it has to go by boat, because there are new safety rules, which will take a month and it will cost €85,-.

I'm happy to say that my book is 450 gram, so i can send it tomorrow,  after I made a little movie and some photo's with a better camera.
