| Nuts about you 💜 |

To truly love someone you must first love yourself. So this Valentine Day I will declare my love for me!

Luckily for you I will also declare my love for you … YES YOU … You are amazing and I am nuts about you!

| Lost souls of the bloodstone coffee |

I love handlettering. This lost souls of the bloodstone darkest roast ever coffee packaging is one of my favourites. I love how the gritty texture and bold lettering are balanced by the delicate detail on the skull.

Did I mention I love this piece? 😊

| Free Hugs |

It’s almost Valentine’s Day, but don’t let that stop you from giving and free hugs. They are, without a doubt, the best thing in the world!

Available as an A5 RISO print.

This spider-like monster is giving out FREE HUGS for today and today only, and maybe tomorrow or the day after…

| Coffee pot with folk-art flowers on purple |

It’s such a wonderful thing to see how a couple of new colours can change the mood of an illustration.

| In and around the pond |

Inspired by an old illustrated school poster. This illustration has been a long time coming.

It’s strange the way an illustration sometimes has to simmer before a pencil even touches the paper!

| Folk art style flowers in Delftblue |

These flowers are a personal favorite. Created after a day in Delft with souvenir shops at every corner. Some with old antique tiles, others with mass produced clogs and one with beautiful contemporary Delftblue cups and plates.

Painting session |

Spending an evening painting with my friends, such a lovely way to shut out the harsh world for an hour or two.
