A clean start.

I'm working on a new series of postcards. Birthday, baby, a new house, that sort of thing. 16 different designs. And of course there is a weddingcard. Is this couple havig a clean start?

Young talent.

When I was young many professional drawers made time for me. I visited them and send them drawings by mail. Old fashioned mail in an enveloppe. Not email. It was the eighties. They phoned me back to tell me my work was rubbisch. And they told me why. Now that I am a professional myself I try to do the same. At the moment I am working with the very talented 14-year old Jordy Knoop. ( Click the title of this post to go to his daily danger website.) We're doing a story about a bankrobery. With lots of cars. Cars are difficult and I try to push him to do difficult things. Doing easy things over and over again doesn't make you better. Here's a sketch for a car from him.



And this is my reply where I try to show him that he shouln't waste so much time on the details. It's more important to get a grip on the total shape so you can play with the car and put the camera where you want.

Pink and green.

Found this funny illusion in my email. Follow the moving dot with your eyes and it stays pink. Concentrate on the + in the center and the moving dot turns green. Concentrate on the + for a bit longer and the the pink dots disapear completely. Crazy brain we have.

Cereals.

For the package in my previous post I also did the main ingredients. It was fun to take a closer look at these small plants. You need realy good documentation. And when I see them in the fields now I remember this job. These plants are very important. The world feeds on them.

Wheat.


Rye.


Oats.


Rice.
