Interiors x3

It feels good to be keeping a regular sketchbook again. I haven’t kept one for about two years.

Nieuwe Bildtdijk vandaag

Nieuwe Bildtdijk is a beautiful long road near where I live, in the northern part of Friesland—the bit of coast below the Frisian islands.

Bike trouble

This is another one that hung around for about 6 months, waiting to be finished when really it was finished all along.

Twiske trees

Drawing trees again today with Katsia in Het Twiske. Maybe not as many as I’d hoped for, but hey. Available now, by the way, as a print from Etsy.

My higher Elf

A voice from above, sugar-coated with love, said: “let us begin.”

‘Barked Once’ is from ‘Derek Bacon’. You can also get ‘Debora Neck’ and, if you really want, ‘Caked Boner’. 

I’m originally from Bedfont, a little village next to the main runway at Heathrow airport, but I now live in a really quiet part of the Netherlands. I’ve also lived in Poole, Madrid, Jakarta and Amsterdam.

I work in a few different mediums. With illustration work, I prefer to draw digitally. But I really love working in ink and pencils too, especially if I’m doing people.

To commission an illustration, or anything else you’d like to ask about, feel free to get in touch below.

Cheerio,
derek
