Winter in Turnhout — Now it has been some years since I last braved the ice skating rink, but I do vividly remember all the different types of people you would bump into over there. Nothing like people-watching near the yearly Christmas market ice-ring while sipping a piping hot cup of gluhwein ❄️ So when I had to do the December cover for UiT in Turnhout magazine about their annual Christmas festivities, I knew im...

Seeing around corners — What if we could see the invisible? I got to make an illustration for this fascinating article in New Scientist on new technologies that are being developed that could help us see what’s around the corner or what’s behind an object. Suffice to say I had lots of fun drawing the ‘invisible’!

Austral Boreal Festival — Had some fun creating two small visuals to create the look for a new explorative festival in Liège! Austral Boreal Festival takes place two times a year, combining elements of travel, zero-waste and local food with music, creating two universes: Austral and Boreal.

Lady Day — A private client project commissioned me to create three large portraits inspired by three absolute legends in the world of Jazz and Bebop. First of the series and perhaps my favourite is inspired by the mesmerising Billie Holiday, one of the most influential singers in Jazz history.

BBC Sky At Night — There’s something really refreshing about figuring out how to paint a subject for the first time. So getting to paint the Cygnus Wall nebula for BBC’s Sky At Night Magazine was an absolute treat. ✨

Friends I — Oh, the difficulties of being a kid! Something fun and simple I did for this weeks Knack Weekend about the difficulties children face in making meaningful connections with their classmates. Some children might be too timid, while others might be overly social, which isn’t ideal either. I realised I rarely draw children, so this was a nice change of pace. There’s a little reference in there to...

Identity politics — A little something I did last month for Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant accompanying an opinion piece on identity politics that argued that identity should be about more than just ancestry or race. At the very least it is a rich and fluid interweaving of culture, personality, parentage and the community that surrounds us.

Demarrage — In about two weeks from now it will be 10 years since the passing of one of Belgium’s most memorable cyclists, Frank Vandenbroucke. To honor and commemorate him, 34 visual artists and 34 literary artists were asked to create a work inspired by his life. I was happy to be asked as one of the artists, and was inspired by VDB’s fenomenal victory in Paris-Nice, which was on a particularly cold and...

Unseen Walls — I always enjoy a good challenge, so when the client asked me to do something with a glass box, I happily indulged in drawing those shards and reflections. The illustration accompanies an article in the latest edition of In Touch Magazine about trying to fit in with a community, and how sometimes you need someone to show you you're not stuck.

Poets of Rome — Sometimes the things in life just sort of click together. Having just come back that month from a very memorable trip to Rome, I received an email from Culture Trip asking me if I would like to create a series of illustrations capturing the poetic and romantic appeal of — you guessed it — Rome. Wether be it a lucky coincidence, or a perfect alignment of the stars, I wasn't about to let an oppor...

The Road — There's something immensely satisfying to cruising through the landscape at bicycle speed. Just fast enough to move a considerable distance and notice the changing of the landscape, but just slow enough that you don't miss out on all the details that are to be experienced along the road. No need to plan, no need to load, you just jump on your bike and the road is yours to choose. These were...
