Very often inspiration lies right in front of you, you just have to see it and pick it up. When I thought of a subject to draw for this months wallpaper I didn’t have to look any further than my own backyard, literally.
Yes, I like traditions. So every year I hang a mistletoe in our hallway. Lots of kissing this time of year!
For this month’s wallpaper I was inspired by two of my favorite illustrators: Yelena Bryksenkova and Alexandra Dvornikova.
When figuring out a new theme for a wallpaper I’m thinking about the month ahead and what it will bring.
Just before the summer holidays I was asked by publisher Kluitman to make an illustration for a learning method for children. Kids in the age of 5 to 7 years old who just start to read.
What a full summer it was, I can barely remember the beginning of it, way back in June. With September on a roll, we’re spinning on the rhythm of school or work and autumn shows us it’s on its way.
It’s my habit to collect stones and shells while I’m on my holiday. I keep small collections of these treasures everywhere in my house, from France, Italy, Switzerland and this summer from Denmark.
Two weeks ago I visited the botanical garden of the University of Utrecht. Wow, what an explosion of colour, fragrance and structures, I was overwhelmed by it.
