The Graduation Exhibition

I can’t believe it’s already been almost two weeks ago that I waved England goodbye. We’ve had such a successful show at the Candid Artis Trust gallery. 75 Exhibitors this year! I felt so proud of my classmates. All the work just came together so well in this gorgeous gallery.

After a nervous week, on Saturday I could finally switch into party mode at ‘friends and family day’. Family and best friends all flew over from the Netherlands (isn’t that amazing?!) to check out my work and celebrate with me. It felt great to be standing there with my baby in my arms and to think back to what an important year it has been.

Below some pictures of the show. I was so overwhelmed that I only shot some fast pictures with my phone, so apologies for any bad quality.

Special thanks go to Zaou Vaughan for providing me with the most gorgeous needle felted puppets to show of the main characters from my picture book ‘Looking for Tom‘.

Part of our show has been moved to the Ruskin Gallery, where you can still visit our work until the 4th of March.

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!!!

Girl Crush: Thoka Maer

Oh how I love the simple yet powerful language  of Thoka Maer.

Known for her gifs, but her illustrations alone are already amazing.
