Amersfoort Boardgame

At the beginning of this year I started a project that sadly got neglected for a while.. In 2017 I'm hoping to finish it and thought I'd give you all a sneak peek!

I'm very proud to say I live in a beautiful medieval city with some amazing buildings. I decided I wanted to make a boardgame that would show off all the landmarks of our city and a few other local favourites. My hope is that this game will be played in a few of our very pretty pubs. I haven't completely figured out the rules yet but might add a drinking element to the game too. There's still quite a bit to do to finish it but I can't wait to start working on it again. Here's some more sketches to show the process so far! X

Christmas cards!

Every year I design Christmas cards for my mum's amazing charity called Mathare Girl Power Project. This year I decided to use the same collage technique as I used for my final project Hiraeth that I graduated with this summer. It was incredibly fun to do and I'm really happy with the results!

They are for sale and all proceeds go to helping girls in the Mathare slums in Nairobi. If you are interested in buying a set (€5,- for five cards) please send me an email! Send some love this Christmas and contribute to a great cause at the same time, it is very much appreciated. X

Throwback

I really really miss London at the moment but am working on new stuff for my finals that I'm very happy with. Will post that soon but for now here are some illustrations from the summer in London!

Sketchbook #3

I am back in the Netherlands since last week and haven't sorted out all my drawings etc yet so there will be more! Also I have so more pics on my camera that I really want to post and work with for illustrations too, but I have lost my camera cable. As soon as I have found it or got a new one I will be posting more again.

Even if it's just to make sure this whole London trip wasn't a dream. Because to be honest that's what it feels like being back home!

Anyway, for now here are some pages from my sketchbook :)

V&A!

Long post incoming!! I went to the V&A this saturday and thought I'd share some pictures of the things I loved.

It is absolutely enormous and even though I spent about 4 hours there I think I only saw about a third of everything in the museum! I was going to go to the Alexander McQueen exhibition but seeing as there were timed slots I decided not to go and to wander around the museum instead. Which was a good decision as I saw so many amazing things! First off, just look at this for an entrance. The Rotunda Chandelier by Chihuly is an amazing sight. And it weighs more than 1500 kilo's!

Name Change!

Decided i'm going to keep this blog updated after my time in London too, to keep myself motivated and keep whoever is interested updated on what I get up to! So it only seems logical to change the name then too! Also; just two more weeks until I go back home again! Time has flown by.. I will be doing more London related posts though! X

ELCAF!

Last weekend was ELCAF! East London Comic and Arts Festival. I didn't get to go on saturday as I had other things planned but I spent sunday afternoon there and really enjoyed it! Talked to some lovely people and saw some amazing illustrations.
