Collage & silhouettes for JUMP! The junior fanclub of the Dutch National Ballet.

Illustrations for Staatstheater Stuttgart magazine, Reihe 5.
For the Staatstheater Stuttgart I had to illustrate an article about pioneers who dared to leave their comfort zone. People like Igor Strawinsky, Jacques Piccard and Marie Curie jumped of that cliff, dared and discovered.
Just came back from the south of the UK, marvelled again at the beauty of Cornwall,
and managed to catch this artichoke leaf before it would cruple up completely...

Good questions M.I.A!
I admire M.I.A. for her self-directed video 'Borders' in which she makes a compelling statement on the continuing mirgration crisis. Out since a while now, the questions still remain the same.

Illustrations for Hooghoudt Jenever packaging
Hooghoudt Jenever, a Dutch gin from my hometown Groningen, comes out with a series of taste-experiments. You drink a gin and a beer next to each other, known as a 'Kopstoot', an 'Headbud'. Nothing new really, in the Netherlands they've been doing this for ages. But Hooghoudt Jenever selects new beer - jenever combinations in their 'Kopstoot-kabinet. The lovely brothers Ronner from graphic design studio 'De Ronners' asked me to deliver the illustrations for their packaging design.

Illustrations for the Branding Toolkit for change makers
Anne Miltenburg AKA 'The Brandling' found that Social entrepreneurs all over the world told her branding is crucial to their succes, yet rate their own brand capabilities as low. She decided to open up her knowledge and tools to help them build strong brands. In order to do so she created a Branding Toolkit for Changemakers and asked me to provide her with drawings illustrating the stories, case studies, and essays the book contains of.
Brand, brand, brand it! You go Anne.
