Bad Dreams (originals)

I thought I'd try and go over the top with the monsters for a change. Sort of like that movie "Goosebumps".
I probably shouldn't have, it is really a whole lot of work. This took me about a week and there are still details I'd work on given the time, but it's not given.  
I like how it turned out though. I like it a lot. I hope you do too.

Wolf Warrior-redo (XL)

Welcome, newest Patrons!!! I hope you'll stick around! You may not know this but some of my higher tier Patrons have requested to redo older paintings so that they get larger versions for their collections. Even though I was initially reluctant to revisit old work, I took a liking to it, after I did a couple. I try to do the ones suggested to me by the higher tier patrons over time, but because I roam my entire archive to find them, I come across some things that I personally liked a lot when...

Dragon Snack (XL)

A second post today because I still have a lot of redo's to do. Here's Dragon Snack, also from 2013. I can't find all the paintings suggested for revamping by higher Tiers because I did not give all the same title I posted them with and it's really a pain to find something without a title. I would go search folder by folder, if it were urgent but I have found so many to redo that it would be useless to try and find the few that are hiding.

Again I could not resist the temptation to do m...

Beauty does not need much setting really. Only covers, for mainstream platforms. It can be removed for Patreon but you have to swipe :)

Blonde Muse (XL)

Yes please, more images like that :D I could do these forever, really.

I should post a new page for the Barebella comic now, but I haven't even done it yet. I am busy with making the Eve graphic novel ready for french print. Almost done actually, about 10 pages left to go, but working on a completely different story simultaneously doesn't work at all for me. I can do these type of images in between but not another story.

I hope you don't mind.

Strawberries with whipped cream or something really healthy? That's not a choice, that's inevitability.

Black Horse (XL)

This has been in my to-do folder for many years. It changed massively over the years. I worked on it off and on since I started it.  The woman as well as the horse changed. It does not resemble the original startup anymore and that’s why I’ll now post it.

There’s a story about this that caused me not wanting to work on it anymore. I’ll tell it, to give you some insight again in my work. Skip it if you’re not interested in background stories whatsoever:

Onliners go CoquinNet

My graphic Novels Onliners 1 and 2 (or Lucia and Selena) published in the Netherlands by Darkdragonbooks.com have been published in France with tabou-editions.com . Not much translation was needed as the novels did not have much text at all (in fact this message might have more characters) and it's published in reverse order (the French do it their way).
Both books are titled CoquinNet and there is an E-version too. This is to notify my French and French speaking Patrons..... :) What's mor...

Book Club (XL)

What can I say... you just have to swipe (if you like of course)
It all starts with a basic image in my mind that promises to be interesting to paint (go figure :D ) but when it's getting good my humour can  pop up at any time and I start adding to the image. It sometimes works the other way around when I think of something (I think is) funny and try to visualise it as best I can but it often goes like with this one.

Banner (XXL)

I thought I should do something for Women's Day (seems to be today). Women are my favourite subject. They always were. And here was something that I liked for that new Facebook Cover photo (posted earlier) but didn't finish until just now.

I think this stands for the elegance, beauty and sensuality I always try to achieve. Some say I would be objectifying women, but I see my paintings as real tributes. Even when it goes beyond mere beauty shots into wilder or even funny pictures. I hear...

More Sketches

Yes, I have too many ideas. I know... :)
I don't know if I'll get to paint these soon but at least I won't forget when I have recorded the idea this way. It'll get done! 

Sick Leave (XL)

When I'm in a mischievous mood, stuff like this happens in a hurry.
No use trying to smarten it up for Facebook or Instagram, moderation is futile.
It won't do me no good whatsoever. But I still like it. Go figure.

So; no modest versions available. It is what it is. I hope you like it too. :D

Facebook Cover (XXL)

Here's my new coverpicture for my Facebook Private page. The one where I add only irl friends, family and nice clients and models.

Of course there's a lot of text in it on FB and I like it without it much more, but I have to notify visitors about that particular page in a clear fashion and redirect them to the pages they might want to see. The coverphotos that I have had up there without text did not work at all. Nobody reads the descriptions, right? :D

So, here's the one without ...
