All eyes on Meike

A couple of weeks ago I got an unusual request.

An educational institution asked me for a couple of sketches of a character that would depict three processes, namely Development, Planning and Evaluation of educational programs.

Nothing unusual about that.

However, they then asked me for something that is a big no go in ‘illustration land’…
someone else would turn my sketches into the final drawing!

I will let the final image speak for itself.
This kid’s got some skills… Meike is only seven years old!!!

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)

Final design:

Giclée print:

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.

Waterboarding for you and for me

Ever since Mr Rockstar has had a recent Manfest he can’t stop mimicking this guy called Eddy Wally.

For those of you to whom the name doesn’t ring a bell (I wouldn’t know if that would be a good or a bad thing, really…!): Eddy Wally is an infamous Belgian-Eurotrash-singer-slash-camp-clown.

He made quite the old age comeback after appearing as a sidekick on a television quiz, amongst other things asking people what they know about the iPad, whilst singing the “waterboarding song” (of course, having no clue what it is…!).

Just watch the clip below and let me have some fun imagining you going:
“Oh. My. Lord. (…)”
