There isn't much recent work on this page because I only picked up my pencil again a few months ago, after a roughly 12 year period of near total inactivity as an illustrator.

To the right you see the illustration that to
me officially marks the start of a second career as an illustrator that I wish to develop parallel to my ongoing career as webdesigner.

If you wish to know more about the two illustrative projects I recently started, select the links here below.

2010

Right: An illustration of a Dragon's head. This one's also for the children's book. This illustration was created about a year after the Moongirl illustration. For a more detailed view, visit the Fantasy style artwork page.
Client: n/a
Agency: n/a
Year: 2012

Right: A vector illustration I made for an invitation card to a joint birthday party of two nine year olds.
Client: n/a
Agency: n/a
Year: 2011

Right: An illustration in a very minimal style for a photography website. This is one of the styles I can revert to if time is an issue.
Client: iPictU
Agency: Lost Boys
Year: 2010

Right: This drawing of three super heroes is part of a poster of an agency that wishes to hire new talent.

This was the fourth drawing I made in my attempt to get my illustrator's skills back up to speed (it predates the Moongirl illustration). The trained eye will undoubtfully find the flaws in it, but it nevertheless presents another modest step in the right direction.
Year: 2010

With a few rare exceptions all the illustrations below this line date back to a period that started around 1990 and lasted for roughly 9 years. This period spans my first career (if you can call it that) as an illustrator, one that I had to abandon because the pay was terrible.

I can only wonder how much I would have progressed would I have persevered anyway. But then again, I wouldn't have been able to build my succesful career as a web designer if I hadn't burnt this bridge behind me.

1990

Right: An illustration called 'Dragon's holiday' for a small Dutch magazine for children.
Client: Stichting Kamiel Bizaar
Year: 1992

Right: A black and white pen drawing of two 'ratlings' for a Dutch Fantasy Role playing game (RPG). Despite the many years separating me from this piece of work, I'm still rather proud of it as I believe it to be one of my best early Fantasy drawings.
Client: The Wise Tree
Year: 1992

Right: a pen illustration with colour added on PC. This was the image I used on my profile page on the LBigroup.be website, while I was the head of the design department.
Year: 2007

Right: An illustration in acrylic paint and pencil for a Rock sampler CD called "His Master's Noise" that was unfortunately never released. Hey, if you feel you could use this illustration for a similar project, I'll make you a nice deal.
