Working with men...

Zombie Rebs

I did a doodle in my sketchbook featuring these three confederate zombie musicians. A friend of mine happened to come across this sketch while he was leafing through my sketchbook. He immediately fell in love with the drawing, saying: "if you're ever going to work out this sketch as a proper drawing, I'll buy it off you!" And guess what; so I did.

goodbye Rita

Rita Verdonk in the Beeeldende Kunstjournaal. (What a fantastic English sentence.) I met her once, she wore this exact same skirt.

Hommage cartoon

A Agent 327 hommage ( Martin Lodewijk ) for MYX stripmagazine.

The real Marty Mole

The real Marty Mole is almost ready to show himself to the world. Seamour Sheep and Marty Mole will be released as designer toys a.k.a. urban vinyl this year, produced in Hong Kong. If you're interested then keep an eye on Seamoursheep.com for updates.

Seamour Sheep comic 30

The thirtieth episode of my precious fluffy friend Seamour Sheep, his wiseacre sidekick Marty Mole and some guest stars.

Unseen Elvis

Recently I was asked to submit this drawing, made in 1993 for 'Oor', a rock-magazine, to a reprint of 'Elvis in Nederland', a book about the King and the Netherlands.
(Ironically, although his manager hailed from Holland, the Pelvis never visited the Lowlands because the Colonel was afraid to get busted for things he'd done in his Dutch days.)

the good-humoured condom

Ik zie zo vaak verliefde paartjes
even stilstaan voor mijn huis:
Daar woont Weemoedt zegt de jongen.
En het meisje slaat een kruis.

To see Lévi Weemoedt on the page, visit my blog.

Xmas card

I'm currently working on christmascards for children, wich I'll post soon... This is a christmascard I did last year.

Silhouette

An exercise in 2D vector illustration. I actually created this with the 2D vector shape tools in my 3D program. :) I installed a trial version of Illustrator, only to find out that I can work much faster with the 2D shape tools of my 3D package.

Hartman

My name is Kees de Boer and I’m a Dutch children-/picture book illustrator.

Among the many books I have illustrated in the Netherlands one of them (in collaboration with the Dutch writer Tjibbe Veldkamp); “Little monkey’s big peeing circus” has also reached readers in Norway and the USA.

In my free time I make these kinds of illustrations, just to do something different.

Too much shopping can damage your relationship...

Illustration I did for 'Nina'.

cover nrc.next

I made 2 illustrations. The first one appeared on the cover of newspaper nrc.next, the other next to the story inside. It was all about 'new sobriety'.
Did I mention that I will introduce myself in my next blogentry?

Roel

Pete 'n' Kate

A cynical cartoon regarding the announced marriage of Pete Doherty and Kate Moss.

Zooming In

A nice detail from my most recent "Mynga & Ramzy" episode. The surface of "Hello You!" magazine being what it is, my pages are printed in a rather reduced format.
On my screen I see them more like this while I work.

THE HORROR!

Pentel Blues

A drawing I did for my stepson Kajo's birthday, in 10 colour-ballpoint-pen ( from the toy-store) and Pentel Hybrid gel-pen , the latter a frustrating tool since only one out of two or three or four are willing to function. ( Also, several of the available colors have been replaced by ugly versions, catering, I guess, to the taste of My Little Pony-girls).

(Thank you Metin, Lectrr and Miss Duvekot (where & when?) for your kind welcoming words!)

Birdie

Sorry for the tsunami of posts from my side guys. I'm desperately making use of the scarce spare time I've got to create some stuff for myself.

Finally I've created something purely 2D again, escaping from my usual 3D work. I used to create 2D computer graphics for old school commercial computer games and it was a true delight to return to my old passion.

Seamour Sheep comic 29

After a few weeks of delay Seamour and Marty are back with a special guest star.

The lonely teapot

In my never-ending quest to build a bridge between 2D and 3D artwork, here's a 3D teapot I rendered in a raw, experimental 2D style, trying to make it look as non-3D as possible by utilizing texturing and lighting techniques.

I hope one day I can make a living out of creating only this type of 'NPR' work (Non-Photorealistic Rendering), as I'm becoming more and more fed up with the usual, hackneyed, sterile, smooth 'n' shiny realistic 3D graphics.
