Take a look at my most recent Instagram posts here!

For @demorgen, on why people, and men in particular (of course), sleep better after s3ggs. 🥱

I’ll be back at the @tad.playgrounds art market this year!

The cover for the Bosch’ @stourtje! (Actually only 1/4th of the cover, but later I’ll share more). Stourtjes are fun and historical tours through a city, and this one takes place in, of course, Den Bosch. My city!

“Verdriet om te delen ” gaat over het dragen van het verdriet van je overgebleven ouder, ook al weegt dat eigenlijk te zwaar voor jou. 🤍

Illustrations from chapter two of “Zoek de Dader” (Whodunit?), written by @dirknielandt and published by @pelckmans.be.

Illustration of how I sit at my desk each day (and why I have neck and back pain everyday). ✌️

The other two illustrations I made for @demorgen magazine for an article about living according to the seasons of your menstrual cycle. 🩸

New work for @demorgen magazine! Its’s about living according to the seasons of your menstrual cycle. ❤️🩸

Happy to have illustrated for @de_volkskrant again!

I had the honour to make the cover of the newest @keepaneyefoundation MagjeZienenHoren magazine.

In @demorgen last week! About how people pleasing (aka promising to feed your nieghbour’s rabbit, helping your friends move, etc.) can really weigh you down.

On december 31st I made the last illustration of the year for @demorgen (or the first of 2026, as it was published in January).

An illustration made for @demorgen around the holiday season. About children that don’t want to give their grandparents a kiss, and that the children of the new generation aren’t forced to do so anymore.

Second part of our January Japan trip! 🇯🇵

For @demorgen on freebirthing: giving birth in nature without any help or medicine. Women who want to give birth like this see it as a dream, but it’s more like an illusion, as it can be very dangerous for mother and child.

A couple of weeks ago for @demorgen, on reading erotic books. 📚

“Hoe meer ik je miste” gaat over opgroeien, van meisje tot vrouw, zonder dat je moeder je daarbij kan helpen. 🤍

When you get engaged in Japan because you’re probably not going to go on such on amazing holiday in a long time and then you go back only 10 months later. 🤝

3/3 of the illustrations I did for @zinmagazine’s December issue, about what music can mean to you. This one about trying to record your favorite songs on cassette tape. 🎶

Another of the illustrations I did for @zinmagazine’s December issue, About how music can move you. (Yes, that is my interpretatiekaders of George Michael.) 🎸

One of the illustrations I did for @zinmagazine’s December issue, about what music can mean to you. This one in particular is about how music is full of memories about your life. 🎶

The last 2 illustrations I made for the @teenvogue 2025 horoscope, Capricorn and Acquarius ⭐️💫✨

This year I combined my #artvsartist with my personal highlights of the year, my #bestnine! 🤩

Our annual Christmas card! 🎄

For the past 3 years me and my friend @melonarte have painted nutcracker figures in December. I hope this will be a tradition until we are grannies! 🖌️

Back in October I made 2 illustrations for @demorgen and @fluisterbelgie about audiobooks.

“Onderweg naar jou ” gaat over ouder worden, en de vraag of je op je overleden ouder lijkt. 🤍

2 illustrations for @demorgen, on violence against women.

Two illustrations for @demorgen about the “Let Them Theory”. It’s about how you should try to let go of wanting to control what others do and think about you. BUT! Don’t take it too far, where you start being egocentric and not care about others at all anymore. 🫶

Celebration ⭐️
