Modern Life

Yukkies!

Hope this example is not too vintage for you.
In 1991 I was asked to do an illustration for a magazine meant for yuppie-children, called 'Yukkies'...(What's in a name, right?)
The story to be illustrated was about shoplifting candy. My drawing was deemed not fit for the magazine (because of the tobacconist's hairdo?) and another illustrator was asked to do the job, apparently with my work as a back-up...

This is a design for a CD sleeve I did for of a bunch of Belgian rappers last year. Take a closer look on my Flickr-page.


And this is a logo design for their recordlabel.

Cards!

These are birthcards I designed for two colleagues. The first one likes rabbits, the second likes elephants ;-) Take a closer look on my flickr-page.

Typodermic!

This book-cover ('It won't be long before I'll see heaven again" a posthumously published collection of newspaper-columns by Dutch song-lyric-smith Lennaert Nijgh, depicting his huge cat 'Meneer', his boat , his town (Haarlem), etc.) was made including a hand-made title-banner.
I was told Mr. Nijgh personally would have wanted me to do this cover, so, reading in the manuscript how dear maritime life was to him, I tried to give a' sailorly' feeling to the title, as a fitting salute to the man.
At the publisher's they opted for the typographic solution, as shown here...

The Devil's DNA

A visual exercise. Sometimes I like to create something abstract in stead of my usual figurative work.

Weird Worm

Thought I'd show you some examples from the weird and annoying things that can happen to an illustrator.

Case #1 is very awkward.
In 1990 I made a cover for a fantasy-book. This book was not only sold in bookstores but also through a 'bookclub'. This club - ECI- has a sale-catalogue and 'The Worm Ourobouros' , as the book was called, was advertized in it.
A not too close inspection already reveals the strange thing that happened.
It's true that the 'necklace' was made seperate from the 'face' but I had it glued, and what could be the explanation for the absurd fact that the 'face' had shifted sideways ?
You think I'm silly for getting somewhat paranoid at the time ?

The Past & The Patience

Two years ago I was asked to contribute a 4-page-comic-story to a big book about drugs. I made a story about my earlier experiences with what American officials awkwardly call 'substance-abuse' , titled ' Drugsverledenman' - meaning 'Drugs-past-man'.
The pay was decent and undelayed, the publication of the book was not. I'm still waiting for it to appear in the bookstores. (The writer of the book is known for his substance-craving , which might explain it. Still it is frustrating as hell ).
Hence this little preview here.

Uncle Abdul

This satirical suicide bomber character from the Seamour Sheep comic strip series will soon be available as a designer vinyl figure, produced by Crazy Label. We hope that the release of the Uncle Abdul figure will help to ironize the act of killing.

The photograph shows the first hand-painted Uncle Abdul toy prototype being greeted by the very rare red-nosed edition of Marty Mole.
