“One idea for you, coming right up. Would you like some extra smarts on top of that, sir?”
On my Ipad, of course!
Nothing better than the latest technology to get the job done. Look at all my apps!
My favourite markers are an Edding 400, a Sharpie and a Copic Ciao. The white gouache is from Dr Martins and does a decent job covering up whatever needs to be covered up, and flows well from the brush.
I start with a rough drawing in cyan. When I’m happy with my rough, I go over it with said markers. The bleedproof white is then applied to take out white lines and shapes.
After I’m done, I scan the page. I adjust the hue to get rid of the blue sketch lines and adjust the levels slightly to obtain better contrast. Presto!
This marker doodle eventally became a bonafida Threadless T-shirt design!
After my presentation at the 20x20 evening at Showroom, Arnhem, several people asked me: “Where can we purchase those Push Your Luck postcards?”
That’s simple:
- From my website (here)
- At Subwalk, Hommelstraat 65, Arnhem (NL)
- At Señor Hernandez, Houtstraat 59-61, Nijmegen (NL)
At the moment, there are about 40 out of 140 sets left.
Ten architects, artists, designers and entrepreneurs talk about their work in 20 images x 20 seconds. I’m one of them and I will be talking about self initiated projects like the Push your luck postcard series and the Happy 2010 - Unsuitable holiday wishes.

This wordplay illustration came about after encountering the word “kvetching” (whinging), which is a rather strange and funny looking word to me. I couldn’t resist to merge it with a word I’m more familiar with, and this is the hand lettered hybrid result.
Now, how about drawing your woes away with your skvetchbook?
New York press approached me because they thought my counterfeit handbag illustration would be a good match for their article about knock-off goods in Chinatown. I agreed, and this is the resulting cover.
