Hi, my name is Lectrr. I'm a Belgian cartoonist and illustrator. I'm mostly known for my absurd and colourfull cartoons, and my illustrations are always a bit on the background. That's why i'll be using Clogworks as a showcase for my illustrations, and not for my cartoons.This first piece is a combination of various wallpapers, made for mobile applications. One of the designs (the monkey) is also available as a kinky tshirt design (flocked, not printed).More will follow. Soon. Very soon!

Messenger stripped

Realistically executed, stylized 3D illustration for a workshop about stripping Live Messenger from unnecessary elements.

girl

I complained about the lack of girl contributors here, and now I am the excuse girl! (thank you, Metin) The girl in the image is Vrouwkje Tuinman, she was in last Friday's NRC, only accidently in black & white, that was a pity.

Thirtyfive portraits in two hours

Eleven portraits in one weekend...

Portraits of well-known Dutch non-fiction authors, for VPRO-TV magazine. Quite a tall order I must say, but lots of fun to do.

Kos & Mo

A page from "Kos & Mo", originally written in Dutch and translated for the occasion.
Published in "OKKI" magazine by Malmberg, for very young children.
I love doing this comic strip, I can hardly call it working.

Cartoon

Weekly cartoon for nrc.next, a dutch newspaper.


"in that case I rather don't have a guardian angel"

The year of MICHIEL ADRIAENSZOON DE RUYTER

The nightmare of Geert Wilders

One of my daily cartoons for the Dutch news website Nu.nl, regarding the growing islamphobia in the Netherlands, specifically the xenophobia of the Dutch right-wing politician Geert Wilders.

A leaflet illustration. It must be all over Holland now. It's part of a promotion for a book which bundels all books you're suppose to learn to graduate. Why didn't I buy just this one book in my final year at highschool?

And of course I''l introduce myself in my next blog.

Carnival hit parade machine

Today I finished yet another small -but completely insane- animation project as made for Donald Duck.nl (it will be online this Friday.) It's almost Carnival in a big part of the lowlands and we thought it would be nice to have an interactive clip during that time on the site, so kids can play with it...

Ruff sketch by colleague Maarten Janssens

It was created using Flash and will be my third so-called "funny" machine. Here you can see them in action:

1. Gyro Gearloose joke robot
2. Digital Party Piggy
3. Carnival hit parade machine NEW!

...The interactivity on the last two I did together with a colleague of mine, named Bas Schuddeboom. Maarten Janssens did the music.

Meat & Potatoes

As a free-lance illustrator I do a lot of work like this, for all kinds of sponsored magazines and such. in fact, it is my meat and potatoes. A lot of this work never makes it to my portfolio, not because it's bad, but because the subject matter is ofttimes a bit bland (to put it mildly) The briefings for these illustrations are usually very tight and don't leave a lot of room for interpretation. I like doing it though, it really makes me draw stuff I wouldn't normally draw. Oh yeah, and did I mention it pays well?

One of those days...

Ever had one of them? I have 'em all the time...

Cartoon of the week

My day job includes working for several dutch Disney magazines. The so-called reader’s page of one of those magazines -simply called Donald Duck- places a "letter of the week" for which I make the cartoons on a regular basis...

"Roughly translated"

Okay! the one who
hits the other one knock-out
may read this weeks
Bucky Bug first!

THUISZORG

Roel's first blogbaby

I made this illustration for nrc.next, a dutch newspaper. The article tells about what can happen when two friends start their own company together. And which problems arise (money mainly).

In my next blog I'll introduce myself. At this moment I'm very busy making, drawing, plotting, illustrating and designing 'Taptoe Zomerspeurboek 2007'; a kids album for the summer holiday.

aju! Roel

Seamour Sheep - Fate

The twenty-eighth episode of Seamour Sheep, a comic strip series about a silly Scottish sheep, his wiseacre sidekick Marty Mole and some guest stars.

You're invited for a visit to the official Seamour Sheep website for more comics, wallpapers, e-cards, the Sheep Shop and more.

Cheers,

Naughty

During the making of a short animated film by Animation Works I tried to fool the director (Arjan Wilschut) with my pencil tests in making him believe all was good, but alas! he wasn’t... Can you belief that? normally this subliminal trick would work like a charm!

Welcome to myself

Hi folks! My name is Viktor (with a "K") and NO I haven’t got any Russian ancestry to my knowledge. My parents just liked it this way... funny people!
I was born at there home in a small room on the first floor the very same day our royal highness took on the job her mom did before her... Being the queen of the Netherlands! (plus some colonies.) And since this day became a national and public holiday (not because of me, but because of her) I almost never ever had a birthday the way nature intended it... f*ck all those parasitical party pooping asses.

I will be posting (somewhat semi regular) my thoughts and work right here on Clogwork, but you can also find some of it on Vector’s Thingies, Donald Duck.nl and Animation Works...

This here above is the "magical" stuff I use daily! and who are my truest, closest best friends in the whole wide world...

Sorry folks! gotta keep this post short... I’m still at work and my boss is coming at me with that big stick he uses on us slaves... “NO BOSS... WHO? NO, NOTHING... JUST LOOKING AT GOOGLE... SORRY, BOSS... WHATTA YOU DO? AUWWW, STOP... PLEASE STOP... I'M SORRY... GOING BACK TO WORK... OEF, AUWWW, PLEASE NO... NO, NOT THE HANDS, NOT THE HANDS!!!”

Dracula

A page in a "Graphic Classics" edition of lesser known stories by Bram Stoker, of Dracula fame. Tom Pomplun, the editor, gave me carte blanche, so I really enjoyed myself.
