Little White Lies

Drawing I made for the Little White Lies magazine cover competition.

The assignment was to pick a movie from a given selection of titles and make a portrait of the main character.

I chose to go with Tinker, Taylor, Soldier, Spy and made a portrait of Gary Oldman with eye measurement glasses (not sure if that's the correct term but how else would you describe it?).

I thought the orange and brown would give it more of a 70's feel. 

Een Rijk Alleen - Book illustrations

In January 2012 Niels Gerson Lohman's debut novel 'Een Rijk Alleen' got published in the Netherlands.
It's a wonderful coming of age story about some very heavy subjects but written in a light and sensitive way.
I got the pleasure to illustrate each chapter with a small black and white drawing and ended up making 34 illustrations.
Together with Niels I also created the book cover.
I aimed for the subjects of my illustrations to evolve along with the main character of the book.
Published by Nijgh & van Ditmar.

Here are some of my favorites and the book cover.

Tampopo

Some sketches inspired on the amazing Japanese noodle western 'Tampopo'
A definite must see for lovers of Japanese food and handsome men in suits slurping noodles.

instead of using the heimlich manoeuvre why not use a vacuum cleaner?
