Art Diary / Kunstagenda 2013

Since I opened my shop, I have to learn many new things
for example: product photography
How to make attractive photos of the products.

These are new photos of the Art Diary / Kunstagenda 2013

I often hear: "your products look nicer in real than online".
Of course this is a nice compliment and it is better this way
than the other way around, but I wanna improve these skills too!

If you wanna see the difference, between the photos I took before
and these new ones, have a look here
I know they are still far from perfect, but it's improving :-)

As said the Art Diary looks better in real. There are
only a few copies left in the Red Cheeks Factory shop
So, if you wanna see it yourself, it might be a nice christmas gift... ;-)

christmas angel cards

I'm happy to announce there are some
special angel christmas cards available
in the Red Cheeks Factory shop

Angel Billy
He tries hard to bring luck to everyone,
but I have to confess, he's still learning ;-)

Angel Milly (Billy's sister)
She is very good in fullfilling wishes...
Maybe if you send her to a friend, it works... :-)

rebelling liberals

Illustration today on Illustration Daily

The voters of the liberal party (VVD) were not amused ...

inspiration: Diane Arbus and more...

Yesterday my brother and I went to the exhibition
of Diane Arbus I really love her work!
Her portraits are so significant.

If you have a chance to visit Foam in Amsterdam,
I would say: GO!


After that we also went to the renewed Stedelijk Muuseum
It's a nice experience to wander in the large rooms,
inspiring building and see a huge variety of art.

Here are two portratis from Marlene Dumas


We started our day with the Last Supper from Andy Warhol in De Nieuwe Kerk.
An imposant pink version of this painting.
We were not alowd to make pictures,
so I borrowed this from the internet:

You know what these are....?

Andy Warhol PUPPETS!!!
They sell them in the souvenir-shop of De Nieuwe Kerk.
My mouth felt open...

say yes!

Delicious Dudes Quartets - Hairy Harry

I was kindly invited by Ellen Vesters, a Dutch Illustrator,
to join in a fun game: 'Delcious Dudes Quartets'.

Each illustrator has a different theme and makes
four Quartets cards in the month November.

All the illustrators will post one card a week each friday
on twitter (follow hashtags #DD and #Quartets)
By the end of the month each set is complete.

I chose the theme: 'Marvelous Machos'
Here's my first Macho: 'Hairy Harry'

Movember 2012

It's Movember again! (the month formerly known as November)
is a moustache growing charity event held during November
each year that raises funds and awareness for men's health.

It inspired me to make this illustration.
You can also find it on Illustration Daily

Last year I made these two illustrations. Remember?
