Please don't post!

I might be the only one that posts in august!
It'll be shamrock month!

More Shamrock

Finally I find myself uploading again! Again some illustrations for that trucker magazine.
I like doing it. They have become a good client, with mutual trust. That really helps making a good illustration because there is hardly any doubt about wether they wil accept the illustration. If you have to show sketches first, it sometimes holds you back a little, playing it safe.

Clockwiser is an addictive puzzle game that will challenge your brain in a playful way.
