Hello #portfolioday 👋
I'm a Dutch digital and traditional artist currently living in Hong Kong. I love to create surreal realistic portraits, fantasy art, and art that's somewhere between cute and creepy.

My journal has a new face. This time it happens to be part of @neilnewbon.bsky.social 's face. I've been watching a lot of BG3 content while traveling 😁

Tree sketch I made during a 24-hour sketchbook challenge, trying to fill a whole sketchbook within a day.
Want to see if I succeeded? You can see me struggle over here:

Ghost in a box 💀 🖤
Did I draw this just as an excuse to add rhinestones to my art? Maybe.

Small black box. Inside is a drawing of Ghost's Papa V's face with a rhinestone-covered mask.

I worked hard on these portraits and it was so satisfying to finally have them signed by the actors! They were so nice 😊

A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.
Bridget with The Beatles on Abbey Road. Bridget hanging out in Grant Wood's American Gothic. Bridget in Bruegel's Hunters In The Snow (with a freshly caught mouse). The Cat With The Pearl Earring.
