Blossom Bird

Written by Sabine ten Lohuis Thursday, 02 February 2012 16:31

I drew this bird quite some time ago as a present for my sister. I was actually planning to draw this on a pair of shoes for her, but I couldn't find a nice pair of white canvas shoes for her on time so I ended up just giving her the original drawing. This illustration is a little more rough and smudgier than my usual drawing style because I drew it on very rough paper (to resemble the texture of a shoe more, this was for practice). But i actually quite like the result, so I'll probably end up making more of these little drawings in the future. 


By the way, if you want a print of this drawing, take a look at my shop: Blossom Bird - Small Print

 

Deer Wallpaper - All Sizes

Written by Sabine ten Lohuis Wednesday, 14 September 2011 22:29

Some time ago I made a Deer Wallpaper which you could download on my website, but I made it in only 2 sizes. Some people complained about this and I've been meaning to make some more versions of the wall-paper for a while now, but never got around to it. But I have some good news for you guys, because the nice people of Abdozeedo also liked my Deer Wallpaper and made a whole bunch of versions of it including one for the Iphone and Ipad!  


You can view the wall-paper and download it for free on their website: Abduzeedo


 

Beards - Week 20

Written by Sabine ten Lohuis Thursday, 08 September 2011 15:24

Look what I just found on the web yesterday, I got a very nice feature on the Juxtapoz website! Which I think is awesome because I love Joxtapoz magazine. 

It took some time for me to notice this because I got the feature when I was on vacation and had no access to the internet. I went over my website statistics yesterday and this popped up. A very nice surprise! So thanks. 

They actually featured my little beard project, which I'm almost done with as we speak. I have another batch for you guys this week and next week I'll upload the last bunch to my website after which the sketchbook I've been drawing these in will be completely full. 

I'm not completely sure what I'll do with the little book yet, but I'll let you guys know more about it next week. Of course if anyone has any cool ideas, drop me a little comment and let me know. I'd love to get some more feedback on this project.


 

PHOTO'S OF THE VIERKWART OPENING - SEP 2011

Written by Sabine ten Lohuis Tuesday, 06 September 2011 18:09

Last Friday was the opening for the new VIERKWART exhibition! For this edition Eva Galesloot, Bang Phan, Bart Aalbers and Victor van Gaasbeek joined and showed some new and old artworks. The weather was great, so I think that helped a lot for the opening. A lot of people showed up (thanks guys!) to see the new artworks and have a drink in the warm sun. I think this was actually one of the only sunny and warm weekends we had here this summer. I can't believe it's already september and now the summer starts...


I hope everyone had as much fun as me and if you really liked the artworks, don't hesitate to contact the artists to maybe buy some of their work. Here are some photos of last Friday. 

 

Social Media

Written by Sabine ten Lohuis Monday, 05 September 2011 13:52

Last month I was working on a set of illustrations for Label magazine and now I can finally show you guys the work I did for them. So here it is!


I made three illustrations for an article debating some issues about the use of social media. If you know me well enough, you also know I have some mixed feelings about this topic and my views on it have changed quite a bit over the years. So I would like to share my thoughts on this and explain some of my ideas.


 

Preview of the new VIERKWART exhibition

Written by Sabine ten Lohuis Friday, 02 September 2011 13:10

Yesterday everyone was running around like crazy at the Coffee Company because it was finally time to build up the new VIERKWART exhibition! Luckily we got some very nice coffee from the barista's as heavy fuel so the job was done in a couple of hours. I'm quite happy with the new artworks decorating the Coffee Company and I can't wait for the opening tonight to see people's reaction. Time for some relaxation after a job well done, let's go party! Hope to see you guys there as well.


VIERKWART exhibition opening, starts at 18.00h and ends at 21.00h. Location at the Coffee Company, Eendrachtsplein 2 Rotterdam. 

Bring your friends over for some nice artwork and a fresh drink! If you want to know more about the exhibiting artists, read on!

Written by Sabine ten Lohuis Monday, 22 August 2011 19:56

And here is the final result of the new flyer for the next VIERKWART exhibition. I would also like to take this opportunity to invite you all the the official opening on Friday the 2nd of September. The party starts at 18.00h and I will be at the exhibition until 21.00h when the Coffee Company closes it's doors. 


I hope to see you all there again like last time. I've been quite busy lately with work, so it would be great to see everyone again and have an awesome party like last time. I'll make sure there'll be plenty of drinks and snacks, so feel free to bring along some friends. Let's end this summer with some hot new artworks and a steaming party. See you guys there!


 

Flyer design for the 4th VIERKWART exhibition

Written by Sabine ten Lohuis Friday, 19 August 2011 20:16

Hey guys, I'm back from my vacation! I'm still working on the graphic novel and I can't show much of that project, so things were a little slow for a while. But I haven't been sitting still and I have a lot of other new work lined up to show you guys. 


First in line is the new flyer for the next VIERKWART exhibition. The next exhibition already opens on the 2nd of September and I'm hoping all you guys can drop by so we can have an awesome buzzing party like last time. I can't wait to see all the amazing new work and I'm sure you guys can't wait either.

For now, here are some process photo's of the illustration work for the flyer.

 

Beards - Week 19

Written by Sabine ten Lohuis Monday, 27 June 2011 21:42

Whoo, today was a really weird day and on top of it all it was also incredibly hot. I think at one point my pencil even slipped out of my hand from all the sweat. So here is another batch of little beards, just slightly later. It's dark outside now and much cooler, so I can try to cool down a bit and get back to the drawing table tomorrow.


Good night guys and hope you're enjoying the start of the summer!

Preview LTTL Graphic Novel Backgrounds

Written by Sabine ten Lohuis Friday, 24 June 2011 14:33

This week I've still been working on the concept art for the graphic novel. I still can't show too much of it, but I can show some small concept sketches I made for the backgrounds. The story is going to take place in several different locations and these are just two of them. 


I made these small sketches to figure out the lay-out of all the different settings more precisely. They don't need to look pretty or have a certain mood yet, because I just made them as a sort of map for easy reference. If I have little sketches like this with a very simple viewing point which shows the entire space, I can use it for reference later on while drawing the story to figure out the perspective in each panel. 

I'm also not sure about the colors for the comic yet, I'm actually making a lot of color tests this week (which I can't show yet). But coloring everything in gray tones like this helps me to establish a certain balance in the image. What's going to be darker and what objects should be lighter to have a nice balance, things like that. I can then use this as reference to choose colors with the same kind of feeling and value later on.


The little blobs of color next to the sketches are just for documentation. I'm working with a lot of different tools and media and sometimes it's hard to distinguish what I used for what. So I quickly jot down how I drew everything using what tools. It might come in handy later on and it also helps me to understand my own working process a little more. Figuring out what works and what doesn't is very important to me, it helps me to keep on improving my artwork.


 

Beards - Week 18

Written by Sabine ten Lohuis Tuesday, 21 June 2011 11:32

Alright, another batch of bushy beards! I'm well on my way to filling up an entire sketchbook with these little doodles.


I'm still finishing up some concept art for the graphic novel I'm working on, but I'm hoping I'll some time to work on a big new illustration later this week. In the mean time I'm making small drawings in between, like the little beards, to entertain myself and to have some things to post on this website. I'll put up some more previews of the book when I can. But for now, enjoy the tiny beards and the small moth drawing I made yesterday.


 

Preview LTTL Graphic Novel

Written by Sabine ten Lohuis Wednesday, 15 June 2011 13:20

So this is currently the state which my working desk is in. There's brushes, markers, cups of water and sketchbooks all over the place because I'm working my ass off to get the concept art done this week for a new project: A graphic novel! 


I can't say too much about it yet, but basically I got hired to illustrate a story for someone into a book. It's quite a big project so I'm really busy right now. Right now I'm still in the stage of designing all the characters and backgrounds and I'll have some time in between to work on some last personal projects before the real work starts next month.

 

Beards - Week 17

Written by Sabine ten Lohuis Monday, 13 June 2011 12:27

It's Monday and time for some more beards! I still haven't run out of beardy inspiration so here is another set of 5 beards which I have drawn with ink in my little Moleskin sketchbook. Even more beards next week, see you then.


By the way, I'm currently working really hard on some concept art for a big project. It's a lot of work and it's been keeping me busy these past weeks. Sorry I'm not posting much new work, but here you have the reason for that. I'll probably get the ok and be able to post some sketches later this week. Expect some inky goodness and even some clay models.


 

Three Little Rabbits

Written by Sabine ten Lohuis Wednesday, 08 June 2011 13:56

Here are the three Little Rabbit drawings I made in the last couple of weeks. These are all drawn on heavy water color paper with pencils, inks and pastels. I originally drew the first one to try out some new paper I had bought and to scale things down a little for a change, since lately I keep drawing on bigger and bigger paper. These are just very fast one hour drawings on postcards sized paper. 


I think I drew enough rabbits for now, so I might do more of these but other animals for a change. These are all sold by now, I just wanted to make a nice post to add all three of them together to my portfolio. You can see all three of them in detail along with some photo's of the original sketches if you click the "read more" button at the bottom of this post.

 

Beards - Week 16

Written by Sabine ten Lohuis Monday, 06 June 2011 15:04

Yes I am still working on the beard project, in fact my first little beard book is full by now. But I forgot to make photo's and post them to my website. But no worries, here is another batch of luxurious beards just for your enjoyment. I'll make sure that next Monday I'll have the next batch photographed and ready. 


 

Icons for RHP

Written by Sabine ten Lohuis Thursday, 02 June 2011 13:59

Here is something different from what I normally do. These are some little icons I made for a horticulture instruction book some time ago. They finally published the book and send me a copy to check out the final result. I also made a really fast photo so you can get a glimpse of the book itself. I'll probably make a better one later on. 


Any way, if you're into plants, get the book. It shows you which plants and weeds are ok and which should be exposed of immediately! And then it gives you some instructions on how to remove them properly. The book is set up to be as straightforward and clear as possible, thus the little icons. It's printed in English and sold all over Europe. 

 

Accelerator

Written by Sabine ten Lohuis Tuesday, 31 May 2011 13:37

The creator from All Words With an A asked me if I wanted to draw something for his website some time ago. This week I finally had some time to work on a new illustration, so here is the final result.


I think this is the first drawing where the colors actually scanned right, so I didn't have to trow a shit load of computer editing over it. Actually I just scanned this one and edited the contrast a bit and that's it. I think I'm finally getting the hang of this!


 

Preview Accelerator Illustration

Written by Sabine ten Lohuis Friday, 27 May 2011 15:19

I'm currently working on a new illustration and trying out my new colored pencils some more. These pencils are making me feel like I'm a little 8 year old girl again, so maybe the illustration is turning out a little more girly than I want. But we'll see where this goes, maybe the final result will blow my mind away. These little projects are good for trying out new things any way.


 

Photo's of the VIERKWART opening - may 2011

Written by Sabine ten Lohuis Monday, 23 May 2011 20:12

So, after all the planning, spreading the news and putting up the artwork, the new VIERKWART exhibition finally opened it's doors! Last Friday we all gathered for an awesome opening party and the new art was revealed for the first time. Everyone seemed to have a great time and I got some really nice feedback on the new exhibition, thank you guys. And also a big thanks to Louis Reith, Rick Berkelmans (from Hedof), My Hong and Rob Kemerink for participating!


In case you weren't able to make it to the opening, don't worry, you can still see visit the exhibition until the end of August. And of course, here are the photo's of the opening party.

 

Preview of the new VIERKWART exhibition

Written by Sabine ten Lohuis Friday, 20 May 2011 12:43

Yesterday we were all running around like crazy to get everything ready on time for the big VIERKWART opening today. But now that everything is set up and the new exhibition looks great, I can relax a little bit and just enjoy the day. It was very nice to meet all the artists in person and see their incredible artwork. I really like the new exhibition and I hope you guys will too. Come check us out tonight and say hi. 


Rick Berkelmans (Hedof) will be selling his silkscreens at the opening tonight. So if you bring along an extra 30 EUR, you can actually leave the party with your very own silkscreen by Hedof. All the other art work will also be for sale, you can order them through the artists of via their website.


In the mean time, here is a little preview of the build-up from yesterday. A photographer will be making more pictures tonight, so if you really can't make it to the opening, you can still get a glimpse of the party.

 

Preview photo's of new prints for VIERKWART - Rob Kemerink

Written by Sabine ten Lohuis Thursday, 19 May 2011 12:20

So, Rob Kemerink just send me a photo of his freshly made giclée prints for the VIERKWART exhibition. Rob is actually the one who introduced me to the printer where we now both have our giclée prints made for exhibitions. This printer has some really nice art paper and take a look at the colors of the print!


Any way, we're building up the exhibition tonight so I'll get to see all the work in person, but I wanted to give you guys another sneak peak of the art work for the new show. So here is a little photo of a new print from Rob Kemerink

See you guys tomorrow at the opening!


 

FLYER design for the 3rd VIERKWART exhibition

Written by Sabine ten Lohuis Tuesday, 17 May 2011 20:01

Last week the flyers and posters for the new VIERKWART exhibition came in. I was very excited to finally be able to see the huge stack of prints and spread them around. Don't they look sweet? I already got some nice feedback on the new design, so thanks guys! 


I also made some pictures of the original drawing of the front of the flyer and posters. I actually drew everything by hand. It felt a bit weird to imitate the illustration style of 4 other people, but I think it came out quite oke. I just framed the A3 sized sketch and it will also be displayed at the opening of VIERKWART this Friday. 


I hope to see all of you guys at the opening to take a look at the awesome new art. Just a few more days!

Some time ago Hedof send me these nice photo's of the new silkscreen prints he made for the next VIERKWART. I think they look awesome and I'm really excited they're going to be part of the exhibition next week. If you like them too, you should come take a look at them up close and personal (they're also going to be up for sale). 


 

Open invitation to the VIERKWART exhibition opening on the 20th of May

Written by Sabine ten Lohuis Monday, 09 May 2011 18:21

I can't believe the opening to the next VIERKWART exhibition is in less than 2 weeks! Where did all that time go? I'm afraid I must blame the sunny weather and the holiday season in Holland.


Never the less, preparations for the expo are still going smoothly and I figured it was time to send an invitation to everyone out there to come to the opening of the 3rd VIERKWART exhibition in Rotterdam on the 20th of May. It's right in the center next to Central Station in a the Coffee Company. The party starts at 18.00 hours and we'll be busy dancing, chatting and drinking free drinks until 21.00 hours. 


Please don't be shy, just drop by to see the amazing work of Louis Reith, Hedof, My Hong and Rob Kemerink. They'll all be there to keep you company and have a drink with all our friends. We're all planning to go the the Vagabond (right next to the Coffee Company in the Nieuwe Binneweg) later on to keep the party going. The weather has been great so far, so let's all make this a Friday to not forget! 

See you there guys!

 

Beards - Week 15

Written by Sabine ten Lohuis Monday, 18 April 2011 11:03

I gave myself the assignment to draw five tiny beards every week. So that's what I did every morning last week. I'm hoping to fill up a new small Moleskin sketchbook that I bought with these beards and end up with a tiny beard book. I mean, who wouldn't want a little book filled with beards?


Here are the five beards I made last week. I plan to draw all of them straight on paper with ink. Come on Monday next week to see five new beards.


 

Photo's of the Motel Mozaïque Festival

Written by Sabine ten Lohuis Thursday, 14 April 2011 14:44

Today I received some photo's of the Motel Mozaïque festival from Thijs (a.k.a. Tegendraads). Two weeks ago I got commissioned to make an illustration for the festival, which Thijs would then translate into an embroided design which people could get for free at the festival. I wasn't able to make it to the festival myself, but the photo's he send me look awesome! And check out the design Thijs made of my illustration. I know it wasn't easy for him, my drawing style isn't exactly highly embroidable. 


Bart Aalbers also made an illustration and it also looks kick ass. You can see his work for the festival on his website. Good job Thijs, it was a pleasure to work with you.



 

Portrait of SILVIO and MARLENE

Written by Sabine ten Lohuis Wednesday, 13 April 2011 14:10

So last week I finally finished this commissioned portrait. I wanted to make it bigger than A3, so I had to try out some new paper. It was actually quite nice for my pencils and pastels, maybe I'll use it more often. The only problem is scanning, so now I have one more reason to get an A3 scanner. 

Any way, here is a photo of me holding the portrait. Big thanks to David for making the photo.


 

Color Me Totem at Pictoplasma

Written by Sabine ten Lohuis Tuesday, 12 April 2011 14:56

I'm putting up this quick update to let you guys know I'm not working on a new illustration this week. I'm currently working on a new tutorial, so it's kind of hard to make preview posts for that. But the good news is that, besides this last project, I completed al the other work so after this week I can get back to making kick ass illustrations. 


In the mean time I can post about some awesome stuff that happened last week. For instance, I found this cute little photo on the Inky Goodness blog. And look, my Color Me Totem illustration is being displayed at Pictoplasma! How awesome is that! I hope they post some more photo's soon showing the final exhibition.


 

Illustration for Motel Mozaïque festival

Written by Sabine ten Lohuis Friday, 01 April 2011 14:20

So yesterday I was working on this little project and managed to finish it in only a few hours. Apparently I enjoy drawing beetles and draw them super fast. This was a commission by Tegendraads who is working on a project for the Motel Mozaïque festival in April. He's going to embroide designs on T-shirts or bags (or any kind of fabric for that matter) of the visitors of the festival and he asked three illustrators to make a design. 


So here is my version for the project. And don't worry, I also send him a line drawing to make it easier for him to translate it to an embroidable design. I'm really curious what he's going to make of my little beetle here. 


 

Preview Portrait of Silvio and Marlene

Written by Sabine ten Lohuis Thursday, 31 March 2011 13:38

I've been working on this commission quite a while now. I wanted to finish the Color Me Totem illustration first so I could try out some new techniques for the background. So now it's just a matter of working out the background on this one and I'm done! Hope they'll like the result.


 

VIERKWART Participants - Louis Reith

Written by Sabine ten Lohuis Wednesday, 30 March 2011 15:12

Today I would like to announce the fourth and last participant for the upcoming VIERKWART exhibition: Louis Reith

He has a great feeling for design and geometric shapes. But it's the old paper and roadmaps that give his work that special touch, which I love. It gives it that nice vintage feeling, as if an artist from a long time ago was way ahead of his time and somehow produced these amazing modern design works. 


He currently has a show running with Ko de Kok at the Iris Cornelis gallery, but he'll make sure to have his works ready for the VIERKWART opening in May. I can't wait! If you also can't wait that long, check out his website for more of his work: www.louisreith.com


 

Color Me Totem Process Montage

Written by Sabine ten Lohuis Tuesday, 29 March 2011 10:03

I'm a big fan of movie montages and if Rocky has one, I want one too! So here is my illustration montage including awesome 80's rocksong and everything. I hope you guys find it entertaining and useful, it shows my entire process in only 4 minutes. If only this really took me only 4 minutes to draw, imagine all the art I could make in a week.


 

Color Me Totem

Written by Sabine ten Lohuis Monday, 28 March 2011 11:15

This weekend I spend most of my time working on this little drawing here. It took me quite long to finish because I was also filming the process, by myself. Drawing and moving around my tripod with camera at the same doesn't make for a very speedy process. Right I'm still working on editing the movie, but rendering is really slow so I'm not sure when I'll have it ready. 


Any way, I made this for the Inky Goodness project that's running right now. I think the deadline is this Friday, so if you want to enter as well, there still is some time. And you should because this was a hell of a lot of fun to draw. Let me describe to you how much fun:

Instead of taking the weekend off to play outside in the sun with my friends, I spend and extra two days drawing and working on this. Even though I had a shit load of drawing work to finish during the week and same goes for this week. 


But don't worry, I promise I'll spend next weekend outside in the sun. My friends were literally waving at me outside my window begging me to come outside, heheh. (Yes, you know who you are!)

Today I was working on my entry for the Color Me Totem project from Inky Goodness. It's really fun to do some more character design for a change and I needed to take a small brake from some commissioned projects I have going right now. Not sure how I'm going to color this yet...

Written by Sabine ten Lohuis Thursday, 24 March 2011 13:04

Some time ago I got interviewed by the people from SomethingWeLike.com and they finally published the interview on their website. They had some interesting questions for me about the illustration field and the influence of the internet. Any way, if you're interested in my work you might also be interested in my ramblings about my work, so you should take a look here.


 

Chaotic start of the Spring

Written by Sabine ten Lohuis Wednesday, 23 March 2011 16:04

Well, the spring is of to a great start. I tend to get into a chaotic mood when the seasons change and to make things worse I have a shit load of projects to finish this week. Right now I'm working on a portrait for some friends and I also sketched out some ideas I had for another project. I'll try to keep the blog updated with fresh photo's of all the progress I'm making, so don't worry.

And the good news is the weather is awesome, so if things get too hectic I can kick off my shoes and take a coffee brake on my balcony in the warm sun. Yes people, the spring is still my favorite season of the year.


 

The new website of Rob Kemerink

Written by Sabine ten Lohuis Thursday, 17 March 2011 15:51

Today a good friend of mine, illustrator Rob Kemerink, launched his new website. So this would be a very good moment to check out robkemerink.nl


You might know his work from the very first VIERKWART exhibition and he'll be showing some new work in the upcoming show. I must say I'm very charmed by the cute owl banner decorating the top of his website. And no, I'm not a Harry Potter fan, I just like owls. But who doesn't? Now go take a look at his work, he's also uploaded a bunch of new illustrations.


 

VIERKWART PARTICIPANTS - HEDOF

Written by Sabine ten Lohuis Tuesday, 15 March 2011 14:30

Today I would like to announce the third participant for the upcoming VIERKWART exhibition: Rick Berkelmans, although you might know him better as Hedof. I got to know about his work through some friends and I immediately fell in love with his lively silkscreens. I always loved the feel silkscreens have and I like the way he gives his illustrations this nice vintage look. 


He's been running his own studio since 2008 and I believe he's doing quite well. His work is shown in many Dutch and international exhibitions and I'm honored he wanted to join VIERKWART. Let's see what he puts together for our little exhibition in Rotterdam!


 

Print from Erwin Kho

Written by Sabine ten Lohuis Monday, 14 March 2011 16:01

Last weekend I finally received the print from Erwin Kho, I love his work! Three if his illustrations are currently showing in the VIERKWART exhibition and we decided to swap some of our art. Erwin made an extra print for me and it's now decorating my home. Doesn't it look great?


Right now I'm working on some new sketches and a new tutorial, but they are both assignments for other people so I can't really post anything about it yet. I will show you guys some stuff as soon as I can.


 

Preview Small Rabbit drawing

Written by Sabine ten Lohuis Monday, 07 March 2011 19:00

I've been working on a smaller drawing today and also tried out some new paper. For now I'm sticking to simple drawings to get used to the new texture of the paper. Today, a cute little rabbit. Easter is coming up after all. This is drawn on 300 grams water-color paper, postcard sized. I'm not used to drawing on such small format any more...


 

Portrait of Florence + the Machine

Written by Sabine ten Lohuis Friday, 04 March 2011 19:31

I just finished a portrait of the singer of Florence + the Machine, a band who's music I really enjoy. This is the first time I'm used a lot of pastel pencils to color the hair. It was trickier than I thought, not sure if I'll use them like this again. Or maybe I need to use different paper next time, because the pigments had a hard time sticking to my Bristol board. I'll have to try out some stuff before starting a new illustration...

 

VIERKWART PARTICIPANTS - Rob Kemerink

Written by Sabine ten Lohuis Tuesday, 01 March 2011 18:05

Today I'm announcing the second participant for the next VIERKWART exhibition in May. Rob Kemerink is joining us for this spring edition of the expo. You may already know some of his work from the very first exhibition of VIERKWART which we organized last year. I loved the series of animal portraits he made last time, so of course when he wanted to join in again I couldn't say no. I'm curious to see what he's going to make this time. Luckily he's also a good friend of mine, so I'll probably be able to see some of the process for his new illustrations.


Most of Rob's illustrations have a very digital and graphic feel to them but his work still comes alive through the amount of detail he puts into his illustrations. I know he works very secure and is a perfectionist to say the least. Which is important if you make illustrations which are printed on huge format. He currently has an artwork on display in het Schielandhuis in Rotterdam. For the exposition about the history of Rotterdam he made a huge 3 meter high illustration illuminated by light. It's very impressive, be sure to check it out if you're planning to visit Rotterdam. 


If you want to see more of his work, take a look at Rob's website: www.robkemerink.nl

 

Time lapse movie for a Portrait of Florence + the Machine

Written by Sabine ten Lohuis Monday, 28 February 2011 09:55

I'm still working on the portrait of Florence + the Machine, but it's almost finished. While working on the new drawing, I've also been trying out some new filming techniques.

I've managed to put together a little time lapse movie so you can see my drawing process in more detail. You can view it below, it shows me working on the drawing for two afternoons, so normally this would be one whole day of drawing. If you pay close attention you can see that my cloths are different on the second day and David pops up in one photo cause he tried to scare me...

Today I received the Uitagenda in the mail and could see my illustration printed on the cover for the first time. Seeing my work in print is always an exciting moment for me. I'm always curious to see if the illustration works with the layout and if the colors came out right. I'm quite happy with the result for this one. iIf you guys want to see for yourself, go pick up a copy of the magazine whenever you're in Rotterdam!
