Sketchbook

I usually get uncomfortable when showing people my sketches, since they're unfinished, and a lot of them are just rubbish ;). However, the 'sketchbook' button is the first one I will click when I'm checking out someone's site - I often find them more interesting then finished illustrations or artwork. So it's only fair that I share a peek too.

More primitive robots

I wasn't entirely happy with the previous one, so I made two new little paintings for my son. Kele is 17 months old and likes robots, bright colours and everything on wheels. Oh yeah, and he dances like a pro. 

Illustration Friday - Primitive

A rather primitive robot I drew for my son. 

Inspiration

Just some pictures that are hanging on my wall and some (old) books that are lying on my desk for the moment. 

From top to bottom & left to right: something I tore out an interior design magazine / pics from Men and Machines, a booklet a found in a second hand book store that has awesome images from early 20th century machinery and factories (010 Publishers, Rotterdam) / still from 2046 (Wong Kar Wai) / De Gele Kruik (P. Atangan, Atlas Amsterdam), a  ukiyo-e style comic / extract from The Look of the Century (M. Tambini), book about product design in the 20th century / the very first art book I ever bought: HR Giger ARh+ (Tashen) - I think I was about 11.
