Youth unemployment

Due to the financial crisis, youth will have to work harder to get a job. At least that's what today's article suggests in newspaper nrc.next. I made a cover- and a page 4-illustration to accompany that.

Prof Oja-Aha at the movies

This is probably the 9th season I'm drawing the comic 'prof Oja-Aha' for childrens magazine Taptoe. This episode explains what kind of tricks are used in movies. It's page 1 of 2, so be sure to buy a Taptoe to see how it ends... (I'm kidding, it's not for sale, you 'd have to be in a dutch school to get it.

NAUT strip

To complete Arjan's story about the books he illustrated so beautifully, here's one of the 20 pages I drew & wrote for the educational series 'Naut'.

It says: f*ck everything! ('I'm shitting on everything' in Dutch)
and than: for sale: direction indicator lights, hardly ever used.

Fartbaby, what a sweet gift for Sinterklaas (dutch Santaclaus)!
Push the POWERFART button and it will produce strong, bad smelling farts that will let you gasp for breath.

Brussel bureaucracy & chemical industry Mix

for a newspaper article about bureaucracy in the european union. While working on it I tried to mime some features of silkscreen printing. I used two layers of color, the overlap being the darkest color. (the dark & white smoke I put in later)

Kees wil weten hoe hij plaatjes upload

Kijk Kees: een plaatje voor nrc handelsblad (maar dat was al even geleden).
Nu zijn we benieuwd wat Kees gaat posten!
in English: now we're curious what Case will be posting.

working without getting paid (in a normal way)

Illustration for an article about new ways of getting paid for freelance work. No normal invoices (factuur) anymore, the constituent decides what he thinks your work is worthed.
This may sound strange, but it gives the freelancer more freedom to come up with new ideas. And in the end the payment needn't to be less. In fact it is often better.

"But I sincerely want to be a bitch for you, darlin'."

"What are you looking at? You wanted HARD news from now on again, didn't you?

Those darn politicians!

Dutch politician Geert Wilders dominates de debate about the issue of muslim integration in the dutch society. He dominates it for example by comparing the Koran to Mein Kampf.

That morning Russia seemed to have claimed whole new areas.

prof Oja-Aha & Assistent

A few characters from my comic 'prof Oja-Aha' which appears in childrens magazine Taptoe.
They do a lot of teeth grinding!

Be a customer!

Last week I did this coverillustration for a nrc.next article about helpdesks and customers and how to improve their relation.
I felt the deep urge to draw an angry person. RAAAH!

Energy!
