Stress chicken, one of the characters in my children’s book, who feels very stressed

Character design

It’s never quiet in my head. There are always ideas floating and characters walking around. One even louder than the other. Everywhere I look I see a story waiting to be told.

Conceptual & Artistic

When I create work, I tell a story and convey a message. Behind every why there is always another why.

Illustrated fake money to promote the Dutch translation of the book ‘The Inheritance Games’ by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

Graphic applications

From the clouds, onto the paper. I like to make creative illustrations for graphic materials. Coming up with a concept together and create a usable image. That is something that makes me happy.
