walking the dog

This are two little comic strips I made for an excercise for school. We had to make a selfportrait inspired by an artist we like, mine where inspired by Patrick McDonnells mutts. (well, they are not as good as mutts, but i'm practicing and there are more coming up!

Ow, and, i wanted to make them both in English, so that i could have something more international on my blog, but I accidentally wrote it in dutch... Here's the translation!: the last page says: "I wonder why that fat man never wants to fetch it...."

water wonderland

Well, this weekend, I finally made something I was planning to do for a very long time...

I made a shark sleeping bag!

Look, it's eating me!

YES I KNOW! Snuggies are really stupid looking, but it gets really cold at my dorm, and I can put my hands trough his fins so I can draw and type... AND IT'S A SHARK!!!

dream

Well, this was a little storyline i made this saturday on a workshop given by the dearest Philip Paquet :)
We first visited an exhibition of Charles Burns, and had to think of a story in the same dream-like world. I wouldn't have tought I could make up a story like that, so i'm kind of proud :)

Well, at first it was in black and white, and i'm not really sure about the colouring, if you want to comment about it, feel free!

céline: mort à credit

 This is a piece of a comic based on Louis-Férdinand Célines "death on credit" Yes, it's written in dutch here, and if one of you English-speakers wants to know what's being said, you should really read the book, because it's a masterpiece.

 Well, it was a chore to present them here as spreads, so, it doesn't look as professional als i wanted it to be :)

Carmiggelt

Een paar illustraties bij een kortverhaaltje van Simon Carmiggelt, waarvan de titel me even ontgaat...
Ik ben er niet zo verschrikkelijk trots op, maar kom, het heeft wel iets schattig en dat was mijn bedoeling!

Gerrothax

well, the octopus that i posted this morning was actually part of an assignment where we had to draw an animal that lived now, and an animal that lived in the past and is extinct now.

This is a "gerrothax" it was an animal that lived even before the dinosaurs walked the earth, and it kind of looks like a big frog, with a very flat head, and really sharp teeth, like an alligator. It was quite big. And scary.

 I had chosen the gerrothax because at first, i tought it was a cute animal, but it's not.

squid

I think it's slightly different from my other work, it's cleaner. I kind of like it... Happy colours! Dumb squid!
