Unused illustration of Donald Trump as Captain Cavemen. Or thereabouts. Behind him he drags a deflated world. Commissioned by Handelsblatt. Drawn with Kyle brushes.
Captain Caveman
Two Twiske trees
Two trees I saw in ‘T Twiske (which is near Amsterdam). This is drawn into Photoshop, based on a photo I took on my phone.
The Child Dictator
Wormerveer at night
This is based on the shop fronts of Zaanweg, the main drag through Wormerveer. Wormerveer is this funny little place just outside Amsterdam that smells of chocolate, because of the cocoa processing plants there. Behind the shops you can see glowing signage for Febo, Kruidvat, Hema, Blokker and Dirk van den Broek.
The beating heart of Osdorp
Remembering a foggy morning in Osdorp, looking towards Reimerswaalstraat from Ma Braunpad.
You see these little cars all over Amsterdam: the Canta LX. I’ve seen them all across the Netherlands actually but Amsterdam is where I’ve seen the most. I always thought it would be a great vehicle to go sketching in. You could fill it with pens and stuff. Maybe fit it out with a little karaoke machine too. But then someone reminded me that the Canta LX is more about facilitating mobility than drawing.
Brexit: the morning after
Double-page illustration for The Grocer. Many big thanks to Stuart Milligan.
The post-truth world
Two illustrations for The Economist for an article inside called ‘Yes, I’d lie to you‘. “Dishonesty in politics is nothing new; but the manner in which some politicians now lie, and the havoc they may wreak by doing so, are worrying.”
Letter from America
“North Korea could have missiles submarines in five years, says South”.
Modi’s first year
Montage for The Economist. Many big thanks to Graham James.
The Big Swoon
A portrait of Al Bowlly—’The Big Swoon’ as they called him. A picture version of ‘Riptide‘… torn between two loves, the old and the new… from Mozambique to bombing raids on London. Where will it take me? What shall I do?
