A 50x35 cm poster, inspired by Villa Savoye and the Pantheon.

Some time ago, our class was given the assignement to create some visuals for a project called 'Nieuwe generaties, nieuwe steden'. I decided to work on the visualisation of the doom scenario for the village called 'Denekamp', which was the subject of the project. I really wanted to do a photomanipulation, being stuck at school made this hard as I had no access to a wacom tablet. To my surprise I was able to work around it pretty well, and in just about 2.5 hours too!

I did some minor improvements on the lectern poster layout, the whole looks a lot more organised now.

The latest version of my Rockwell type research poster, after undergoing several major improvements this is what came out. There's still one little thing that bothers me, which will be fixed as soon as I find out how.

A flat surface shading experiment, more to follow.

A magazine based around my fictional disney character Rizzy.

A quick free work I did, intended to train myself some more in illustration. And to ease my mind.

Voila, the intro scene for the game I'm working on.  The story will be more clear as you progress in the game itself.

Introducing Rizzy, she's the 17 year old lead guitarist and vocalist in the Rock/Metal band Blazing Mare. Her real name is Lissette. She's the daughter of a family who's worked hard to become succesful and make name for theirself, as such they're very disappointed with Rizzy's life choices. Rizzy will be the star of my Disney commercial. I'll be trying to get the quality of animation as close as I can to that of a real Disney film, and so the duration will likely be no more than 10 seconds. A shame she'll be used so little as I developed quiet a story for her, still a few seconds of absolute beauty are better than 40 seconds of disaster.

The poster speaks for itself, I think. A design for a new lectern for my school, for me this assignment was mainly about creating a shape that was pleasing for the eye, and comfortable for the teller.

Lucidity, a product of fiction, is a device that allows you to manipulate your dreams. It is made using 2 of 3 fictive inventions given in the briefing. I call her Lucy, she'll be able to take voice commands in the future!

Coming soon...

Three approaches on a typographical blueprint of room.

Continuing from the previous photography experiment with motion suggestion I shot these. The idea was to create an uneasy, unsettling scene which would make the viewer want to move (away). I found the last photo especially appealing, my next series will be a continuation on this picture.

Red matter robot, the epitome of human science, a creation that transcends all creation. Immortal and flawless. And also the last living thing on this world. In our motion graphics lessons we're gonna animate a walkcycle for a robot using after effects. I threw in some extra effort and made a quick backstory and surrounding for my robot.

A little experiment, we're handmaking some posters at school, using silkscreen, stamps, linoleum print etc. I decided to make the same posters both digital as analog. It's mainly for myself to see both of their individual charms. The posters are about the unrest and frustration of the students towards the organisation my school belongs to and the bad publicity it's been getting lately (Which is absolute nonsense). The handmade posters will be up here in two to three weeks

Just a quick exercise, combining a word with an image, to give a new or another meaning to it. And for those who didn't believe anomalies is a word... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anomaly IT IS! 

Alright, where to start... since my last (first) animated film (which didn't exist) , this is probably my biggest animation project ever. Heck, it might even be my all time biggest project. I'm also having more fun with this than any project ever.  It all started with a day of drawing stuff about what I want and what I don't want, after relentlessly going through al my drawings and ideas I ended up with one thing I want most. Taking that thing I had a little presentation in front of my class, in which I had to depict what I want without literally telling them. I was ill prepared and had to make do with what I had, two sheets of cardboard with the silhouet of my head. Surprisingly enough, people actually guessed what I wanted to do, which was making an animation film. An existing one this time. We were asked to make a documentary about it, it didn't have to be filmed though, so a book or in my case a short ani

Following a small research on the typeface Rockwell from Monotype, I made this A2 format poster. It explains some of the typeface's properties, as well as provide some basic info on where it came from. These are the sketches and some of my notes I made, before designing the poster.

I introduce you to Isaac Richardson a 6 year old boy, who's about to face his greatest fears.  All inside a twisted, wicked dream realm which he's trapped in as result of being in a coma after  a car incident. These are first two scenes, the acces to the school area and the hospital area, they're work in progress still, but I felt like sharing. Isaac's Shadows (placeholder name) is a project I'll be working for some weeks.  It's a suspense/puzzle game I'll be making in flash or java. So far I've got the story worked out,  which I'll upload soon, and a general idea on what the world will look like. More to follow...
