Rop van Mierlo does it again.

I can’t get enough of this video!

 

Oh I wanna dance with somebody, preferably a giraffe

A cute little baby arrived a couple of weeks ago.
Such a fun little birth announcement card this was to work on…
As grand finale the illustration was also used for a giclée.
(the name Berk means birch)

Psst… above you can see a blueish print peeking out from behind the giclée’s frame.
It is the gorgeous poster below, made by the talented Zilverblauw.

Oh Marie Magazine

Sometimes you come across art directors or graphic designers that are so inspiring to work with, that you end up finding a whole new layer in your illustrative work.

This was the case in working with Marlous Snijder of Oh Marie Magazine, and Casper Boot of Ja Hallo.

 

Together with Casper a grand cover was made and of course also a quirky inside illustration was needed (the sketches were simply too delicious to only stick with one).
I feel so happy with the results!
