editorial illustration: breathe in, breathe out

Remember I drew lots of faces two weeks ago?
It was a preparation for the 'big' assignment for Bootcamp

We were asked to make an illustration for a magazine about meditation. The article was called: How to meditate, a primer for people who don't like to meditate. Find it here

It was a nice and very recognizible article,  so I had a lot of fun making this illustration. 
I would love to make more for this editorial market.

For those who are interested: you can purchase it as a high quality giclee print
in my etsy shop

Europe: 12 points

Yesterday there was the Annual Eurovision Song Contest.
This year we have a very special winner:

Conchita Wurst is a Singer from Austria. In normal life it's a man, but on stage he performs as the bearded lady. She wants to make a statement to the world: it doesn't matter if you are man, woman, gay or straight, just be who you are. Let's live in peace together...

I'm very happy she won with this statement. it's promising. Yay for Europe! You can listen to her song here. It gave me goose pimpels. Also fun to tell the Netherlands were second.

a wolf in Holland

Last week they found a real wolf in Holland
Not in the zoo, or in a fairytale, but here in Holland, in de Noordoostpolder
The poor animal was dead. Probably hit by a car.

They say the wolf walked all the way from Eastern Europe.
They expect more wolves are coming this way.

A bit scary idea, I often wear a red jacket with a red cap,
when walking in the woods... ;-)
