'CRACOW 1325' - the game
Currently I’m involved the creation of the game ‘Cracow 1325’, a medieval board- and cardgame, all about intrigue, strategy and black humour. A great project that will be completed in the course of 2008. Look for some previews of the artwork in the ‘Games Art Gallery’.
TELLARIA - The Making Of...
Tellaria is the extensive setting for fantasy role playing games. It is a complete world with its own history, myths, geography and peoples. Tellaria is develloped by 'Ardor House'
With my illustrations I aim to visualise the richness, complexity and beauty of Tellaria.
To check out the progress of this new project see the 'In Progress Gallery'.
Other Ardor House Projects
Other new projects I'm involved in are 'Flexible Storytelling' and 'Dracula'.
Flexible Storytelling is a lighthearted but thorough guidebook for Game Masters who wish to improve their RPG-abilities. I'll be making cartoons for Flexible Storytelling on a regular basis. To see some examples see the 'In Progress Gallery'.
And I've just started illustrating Bram Stoker's Dracula, a very interesting and challanging project, close to my heart. Dracula is planned for this year (2008).
Kastelenstichting Holland en Zeeland
I've been working on an assignment for the 'Kastelenstichting Holland en Zeeland' drawing 'Cut Out Figures', representing inhabitants and sceneries of centuries past..Great fun to make, you can see some examples in the In Progress Gallery.
Limited Edition Prints
I am quite reluctant to sell originals. At the same time I find reproductions such as posters or cards, although of good quality, obviously lack some of the striking power of the original.
I have found the solution! I have experimented with exclusive prints, using durable inks and papers and such, and the result is staggering. The prints are of awesome quality, not just because of their durability but also because of their strinking colours, amount of depth and likeness to the original. Jus as I intended.
These prints will be available only as limited editions, meaning that they are signed and numbered, so they are all unique pieces of art, and it is guaranteed that the serie will not be reproduced in the same manner.
Look for the limited edition prints at the fairs I'm attanding, at my exhibitions or contact me. Because you have to see them with your own eyes to understand what I'm talking about!
Designing greeting cards, ex libris and stamps
One of the most rewarding things for me to create is a symbol, emblem or logo that is custom made and really captures the soul, character and motives of the person who it is made for.
I make designs that can, for example, be used for:
- business cards
- logo's
- greeting cards
- Ex Libris
- business gifts
- personal gifts
- or anything else one can think of, basically
Some examples of my designs can be viewed in the logos, cards and ex libris gallery.
Feel free to contact me if you'd like more information about commissioning a design.
