It'll be shamrock month!

More Shamrock

2010-08-10T13:45:00.005+01:00

Finally I find myself uploading again! Again some illustrations for that trucker magazine.
I like doing it. They have become a good client, with mutual trust. That really helps making a good illustration because there is hardly any doubt about wether they wil accept the illustration. If you have to show sketches first, it sometimes holds you back a little, playing it safe.
Talking about clients: Unga from Amsterdam >> blacklisted.
