Two Guys Named Moe


They were originally on some Kos & Mo planet, and I liked them so much I put them on my calling card.

Seastorm


Created this for my daily Nu.nl cartoon. Usually my cartoon images are more stylized and whimsical, but I couldn't resist spending more time than usual on this particular image.

Fold-A-Plane!


This is the boys' version.
On the other side of the page was printed a similar plane for girls, but it flew out of my computer. I can't find it anymore.

They do a lot of teeth grinding!

Holiday At Home!


I have been too busy digging my swimming pool to join this to the "ironing board" series. But better late than never: a minimalist swimming pool.

REMBRANDT!

Binnenkort in MYX stripmagazine!

In the cartoon the African native irritatedly calls her husband to ask how much longer it will take him to bring back his prey, because her bouillon is already boiling.

Some Seamour Sheep Stuff

Lately I've been quite busy with preparations for the imminent release of the Seamour Sheep and Marty Mole designer vinyl figures. Here's a selection of artwork for that purpose.

Illustration for a warning card that is shipped along with the Seamour toybox.

3D visualisation of a future special USB-powered lamp edition of Seamour Sheep.

Instructive illustration how to switch on the Seamour lamp.

7"




Nice little job that came along: a 45 rpm record sleeve for Rotterdam's garage rockers the Quotes, with a bit of Doug Stanhope stand-up comedy on the flip side. Strange combo, indeed... These are the perks of being an illustrator as far as I'm concerned.

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!

Ironing Bored

Hi-heeled speed-queen Miss Pigeoncot's latest entry, the housewife with the ironing-board, somehow rang a bell.
Then it dawned on me. I once did a similar ironing scene for 'Mainline', a Dutch subsidized magazine (for some 20 years already) hopelessly dedicated to informing junkies of the hazards of their habit and supplying the dopies with all the news that's vital to their well-being, where to get the best tin-foil, etc.
I was asked to illustrate this gag-page ( haha!) written by a heroin-hooker from Amsterdam, calling her sisters to leave the potato-couch, wash rubbers, iron tin-foils, sharpen syringes, test new drugs on 'john's' and feed your (useless junkiepimp-)partner to your pets when all else fails... (Not hard to understand when you read the diary the poor girl keeps in the same magazine!)

Shield-shape #3


By now it will be obvious that I'm a sucker for the shield shape. Here is my third contribution in that shape: a CD inlay/cover for Relax, a Dutch hiphop(hippop?)-outfit. Done with coloured paper-cut-outs, a favourite technique of mine. You might call it 'Flintstone-photoshopping' with glue and scissors.

sneeker junk takes catwalk course in fitness studio



Great article. Ellen says the catwalk course improved her mood. The article improved mine, I almost feel like taking a course myself. Although I'm pretty good at walking on high heels already, or at least I used to be. I hardly ever wear high heels anymore. Back in my art school days I used to buy wild second hand pairs. Stiletto's were obligatory around 1980. I spent my best high heels day ever shopping all day in Amsterdam, on speed. Swear to god, it was the only time in my whole life that I have ever taken speed. But speed and high heels go together very well, I can tell you that. Otherwise I am very clean, I haven't even had a drop of alcohol in weeks. Went to Betty's this week, ordered a soda water.
