Rent economy

I'm on the cover and inside of the new 'Vrij Nederland'
this week with some illustrations about rent economy.

Finished work on Little Miss Y.'s wardrobe!

Just finished illustrating a do it yourself sewing book called 'Little Miss Y's homemade wardrobe' by Astrid-Fia De Craecker. It's going to be a gorgeous book with great retro designs, wonderfull pictures by Leen Van den Meutter, designed in fifties style by Sam Dams and illustration's by yours truly. It has the perfect dresses for when you are hosting a Mad men party, and let's be honest. We have all been there.

It's scheduled to come out this September and is published by Lannoo.
Order it here.

Jommeke

A time ago I was asked to make an ex-libris for a special edition of 'De zwarte bomma'.
I was very excited because 'Jommeke' is so much part of my youth.
The most memorable albums for me are 'De supervrouw' and 'Tita Telajora'.

I wanted to pay tribute to the classicly painted covers, but also make it contemporary and fun.
This special edition (including an exclusive ex-libris by me) is scheduled for October 2013.

Talent spotting

Soon...

A little teaser for Webtrip...
which will debut around June 10th.

Webtrip season 2

I'm joining Webtrip season 2:

Designed in partnership with Lyon BD Festival and Ecam school, the Webtrip is a collaborative and participative comic strip series. The principle is simple: based on a plot written in advance, comics artists from various countries take turns and each one create an episode. Their lone requirement: to put the action in the city and places where they really live.

After a first season, in 2012, that took place in Europe, the Webtrip goes to the discovery of Latin America this year. No less than 12 artists, from both Europe and Latin America, are going to unite their talents in order to create a new story.

This year, we will follow Emma, a young flight attendant from Lyon who, after a sentimental breakup, decides to test the sociological theory of the six degrees of separation.
Based on anyone’s average social network, this theory states that we are 5 intermediaries away from any person in the world.

In order to put theory into practice, Emma decides to send a camera on a trip, along the way of chance and encounters, and see if it can come back to her.

I will tell a short story about two rivaling journalists fighting over a story. It takes place in my home town Ghent. I'm still working on it, but here you can see some character sketches. My episode will be published in june.
