Working in 2D is a very relaxing escape from creating in 3D.

Dangerous cartoonist inactivated
A statement against an almost totalitarian police action in the Netherlands, involving a police raid, house-search, seizure and imprisonment of a Dutch cartoonist.
Although a cartoonist may create questionable work, a democratic state should not arrest and imprison someone who has only expressed his vision, no matter how provocative. Intimidating people in such a way is the kind of repressive, censoring gesture that belongs to a dictatorship.

Ritalin
For my regular Swiss gig, Weltwoche Magazine, I did this witty illo accompanying a rather dry, technical article on Ritalin. The drug prescribed to pacify over-active children. My own kid, Clovis, is two months old today and sleeping peacefully as I write this entry. Hopefully I won't be needing any Ritalin to pacify him in the near future...

Networkless
My first isometric pixel illustration for a magazine.
It's very nice to be back in the world of pixels. The purity of pixels has always had a special magical attraction to me, from the days I was playing Pong on a television in my early childhood.
Later I became a pixel artist for commercial 2D computer games in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Hierarchy
Before I was a 3D guy I was a pixel artist for commercial 2D games, from the late 80s to the late 90s. Now I'd like to return to my roots (without leaving 3D of course).
Here's an illustration I made to get into pixeling again. I tried to keep it as minimalistic as possible, in search of the ultimate essence in conveying a visual message.

Girls galore
Hey. It's been awhiles since my last post. I have a baby son (seven weeks now) and it's taking up a lot of my time. I'm only now slowly getting back to work. Here's two illo's I did for a clockface (Lou Lou posted one here some time ago also). The first one they didn't like, so I will use that one for something else. The second one they did like, so that's the one that'll see print.
music for divorced men
Dutch fans of Americana music. I wouldn't want to embarrass any Clogwork guys, so I'll keep my opinions on my own blog this time. And before you ask, it is Johnny Cash's dog.

two menopausal drawings
I already put them on my own blog, but here you can see them a little larger if you click on them. Our own dear Evert commented:
It's really great. (Thank you Evert) Reminds me of mon épouse Dominique waking up in the middle of the night.
However, your lady has a very short left leg. The foot of her her right leg, with bended knee, should be much closer to the body. Or rather: her left foot should be further away from her.
I replied:
I know! I thought nobody would notice, because they're hidden underneath the sheet. I know how it happened too. I made a reference photo, my daughter under a sheet. And then I made that knee a lot higher because it looked nice with the elbow. Two angles, enfin. I noticed the difference in leg length, but I thought whatever.
