The interview I had at the Zus op Zondag radioshow is on Youtube now! It’s a 20-minute video (man, it felt so much shorter) about manga, animation, comics and why my work doesn’t EVER have a happy ending. I also show some of my recent work at the end of the video. It was fun! Oh, and I need a haircut.
Month: April 2011
New cartoon for Versiergids
For a few months now, I make these dating-cartoons for the website www.versiergids.nl . They are published every third week of the month.
Here’s the one I made for April. I can proudly say this is the simplest cartoon I ever made 😉
Cats
A gift-art I made for a friend! I’m normally not so good at drawing cats, but I thought this one turned out alright 😛
Interview in the “Zus op Zondag” show
This Sunday I got interviewed by the nice people of Zus Op Zondag, a radio show in Waalwijk in front of an audience. It was quite nice 🙂
Here are some photos by Luuk Aarts. Moving image can be found on the website http://www.zusopzondag.nl from this Friday.
Graduation film colour preview
Just a short test for the colouring of my graduation film 🙂
Always nice to see…
…that your work is published around the country!
I got this photo through a friend of a friend of a girlfriend. It’s an illustration I did for a dentist’s society a few years back. I totally forgot about this job! So funny to see it, after such a long time. Apparently, they’re still using the same card as they did in 2009…
Thanks Kevin!
Tomorrow: workshop “Manga for grownups” (Manga voor volwassenen)
Tomorrow, April 10 from 3 pm till 4 pm, I will present a brand new manga workshop at the SieboldHuis in Leiden. This museum of Japanese culture in the center of the city has organised a fantastic Manga-Weekend (starting today). There’s a variety in workshops, talks on manga, demonstrations and of course the museum itself. The Sieboldhuis has a large collection of Japanese cultural treasures.
My workshop will be about “Manga for grownups”, also known as geki-ga, seinen and josei. These manga are about realistic themes and the drawings are less mainstream as most manga that are published in the western world. I will talk about the works of Tatsumi, Otomo, Yamamoto and even Joann Sfár as part of the Nouvelle Manga front. After a short historical insight, I will give the workshop attendants an introduction into making your own “manga for grownups”.
