Work in progress: Sapopera

For those who think I've abandoned this blog: sorry, you're wrong. I just haven't made anything yet that makes it worth the bother for you to look at and read about. That doesn't mean I'm not doing anything at all, though! Right now I'm writing the script for my very own stop-motion soapopera 'Sapopera!'

It will be about a family of pears, a family of apples, a family of mandarins and a family of grapes and their adopted banana child and all their loves, hates, friendships, friendships that turn into love affairs, love affairs that turn into burning hatred and all that, and that all in five episodes of one and a half minute. Of course for all to view on YouTube.

It may be clear that the preparations for said series will take a while (especially since I have some internship-for-next-term-related business to attend to), so I'd like to ask for your patience. You shall be rewarded pretty soon.

Stay tuned!

Shig

Better known as a scharken here in Holland. It's a crossbreed between a sheep and a pig. Caroline and I made it up, during one of our many violently random conversations. She went even further though, and somehow managed to fit some Avatar into it as well.

Bacon, shoarma and wool, all from the same animal. Sounds like the perfect animal to me...

Anniversary!

Today, 25 years ago my parents got married, so I made above picture and sent it to them on a huge card. We went out bowling to celebrate their anniversary yesterday, hence the ball. On to the next 25!

New Showreel

My new showreel. Finally entirely consisting of work I'm more or less proud of.

The parts with the mandarins and the one part with the gnome are also available as E-cards at Kaartenhuis. Go take a look.

And so it begins...

Meet Seth. Seth the Shapeless. One of my more favorite creations, because of the fact he's so mysterious. Always hiding behind that mask. Where did he come from? What is he up to? And more importantly: who will be involved? No-one knows. It is certain though, that something is going to happen.
Now imagine such person holding a magical pen. What horrors or wonders might ensue? None can tell.

Strange words to open a new blog with? Not at all. This is exactly what you can expect of this place. It's going to be a representation of the Violent Act of Randomness that is me. I'll not make any promises regarding future content, because I never know for sure how long I can keep such promises before moving on to someting entirely different. Though it is certain that I'll be posting something. Will it be more illustrations? Animations? Comics? I can't tell for sure, all I can do is ask of you to stay tuned! You will be rewarded for your patience!
