//Beyond the
Moleskine.

Hey! How’s everybody doing? How was your Christmas? Please share your stories, I would love to hear them. My Christmas was fine, had too much to eat I think though, I still feel stuffed.I know, I know! I haven’t updated in a while again. I’ve been busy. Sorry! I didn’t forget about my blog though. 

Lately I have been stressing out for my acceptance at the HKU ( it’s an art academy ). I’m applying for my Illustration Bachelor, and my acceptance day is going to be the 16th of January. So I am working hard on my portfolio to expand it with different materials, views, types of illustration. I’ve been drawing in my Moleskine a lot, and I have also picked up a different notebook, which is more freestyle related. I use this notebook to experiment with materials, put news paper clippings in, write down my brainstorms and ideas for project or random statements. I call this notebook My Little Blue Crackbook. Don’t ask me why, I have twisted humor at times. ( This reminds me - my friend Yorick de Vries made a book a long time ago, called ‘The Cokebook’. Hah ).

Anyway. I scanned the pages I have so far - and of course, I’m going to show them to you - so you can feedback on my work ( please, PLEASE do, I can use it! ), and perhaps inspire you to make a book of your own.I will write more soon, but for now I leave you with this Have a great one guys!

Mad love.

I illustrate my life in abstract ways
and repeating colors.

Okay - SO! Back again with a new blog - it’s been a while. Life has been quite eventful, but that is not what I want to chat about right now. I just finished a new piece - which is part of a series. The series is called Monocolor - and basically - they’re illustrations about themes going on in my personal life - illustrated in a very abstract way - constantly using the exact same color palette. This first piece I just finished is about love. How it’s something I keep buried deep down inside me - but once released - it flows and goes everywhere.

I hope you enjoy it - and please - visit my Behance page - or appreciate the project here.

For all those interested - the original linework was done in Illustrator - and I finished it in Photoshop.

Peace!

Etch-a-sketch
anyone?

I’ve been drawing a lot again lately. As I am going through a personal process in life, I guess you could say my drawing style has also altered. I don’t know. You judge. Here are three of my most recent works.

And if you’re interested - you can watch my whole sketching / drawing process here. It dates from May till November this year.

Enjoy!

This shit is
ill.

Goodmorning world.
As I am munching on some breakfast before work - I am - once again - visiting the Byroglyphics website. I cannot take my eyes away from these pieces.

This shit is straight up ill, so to speak. This guy is definitely in my top 3 artists, and if he keeps going this way he might actually become first place. The use of colors - composition - the way he creates structure into chaos. I LOVE HIS WORK.

Go visit his website - oh and I found it really interesting to read the FAQ section.
