Cheap motel with a hint of hopper


A test in creating depth by using color temperature and color. The inside of the room kinda reminded me of a hopper painting, maybe it's a book on my desk... Maybe I will redo the floor of the room to make it feel less like grass, but I kinda like the chaos it creates :)

De Breuklijn : Matte Painting and an IMDB Listing!


During my graduation I participated in the graduation project of some fearless animation students. I could do some dali based sky matte paintings, which was very fun to do :). The short is doing pretty great, it has been shown from India to germany (http://shortfilmcentral.com/film/1103/ ). And the most awesome part is that I have my own imdb page and due to my showing off my imdb page to just about everyon I'm up in popularity with about 750%.

Random >>Speed>> Doodle








Somehow when I draw a random portrait people always seem to know the person. So for all of you out there who know what the name of the person in the portrait is, please let me know :)

Snowy Room Final


I finished the snowy room sketch in order to enter the Gnomon competition. Hope to show off some completely new illustrations soon. Too bad the monitor shows different color everywhere :/ If the room is yellow instead of blue... then uhmz well then you can't see the illustration in it's full glory.

Cutout Characters




A little experiment with creating easy readable characters. Although the black outline feels a bit cheap it was a good excercise in thinking about lines :) Hmmz come to think of it, it kinda looks like a sticker page :)

Tree Dynamics



I recently bought the amazing "elemental magic: The Art of Special Effects Animation" book by Joseph Gilland. As he talked about the dynamics of fluids I thought it sounded quite similar to the dynamics of a tree and I got a sudden urge to apply the theory on some tree sketches. And it payed off ( and I'm only on a quarter of the book), can't wait to experiment further. So thanx mister Gilland!
