Today was my day in the week that I take care of my daughter while my girlfriend is working elsewhere ('Papadag' in Dutch). And, as my daughter hasn't reached the age where she doesn't need a nap in the afternoon, I have some 'spare time' on my hands.

Stoked about this idea. Worked it out fairly quickly, after doing the mandatory things. Acrylic paint on a 100x80cm canvas. Earlier rough sketch / inspiration on cardboard lies on the ground in front of the painting.

Paintings ‘Denim Blue’ (left) and an early, untitled painting. Work in progress. A proper style is in the making.

Some after-work quick sketches with Posca acrylic paint markers on cardboard. Will this be my new direction?

Nice. Another interview with me on the website Workspiration.org and with more focus on my UI/UX Freelance Design skills than my precious art. Which is fine though, considering the talented people that surround me on the Workspiration.org website.

Like anyone else my ‘favorite’ artist tends to change from time to time. Doing some research now on #Joan #Miro. It’s awesome to read about the artist behind the beautiful art.

As always, I underestimated the amount of preparation needed. Packing the artworks, renting a van, printing price cards, business cards and a wooden flyer. I’ve been busy. But the cards and the…

My Intro Pack with four Royal Talens Amsterdam paint markers just came in. Tried a quick sketch but I’m not completely convinced Amsterdam is a serious competitor to Posca acryl paint markers.

Went to Loods5 today, which is a huge interior products shop (like Ikea but much better) in Sliedrecht, The Netherlands. Besides buying a nice design lamp there, I ended up with two art books by…

Extended and updated our home office ‘gallery’ with four new works. They’re hanging on a really nice hanging system called ‘Click Rail Pro’ from Artiteq.

After months and months of absence I finally returned to my studio for one single day of painting. It makes me sad to know I won’t return soon due to lots of paid ‘pixel pushing’ ahead. I find it quite…

Finished and framed a new artwork. Had it drawn in white lines only before I decided to add some colours. Which, by the way, really popped out don’t you think? The whole thing came out quite busy so I’ll probably make the next one with less detail.

Artwork ‘City Colors 1’ is a colourful illustration on heavy paper in which bold black lining is combined with bright and vivid colours. It visualises a busy day in a large city.
