Sketch of St Jacobiparochie from Oudebildtdijk. This is the view from the front of my house. Drawn and painted in ink, pencil, colour pencil, graphite, and gel pen.
St Jacobiparochie
Oudebildtdijk
A print of Westhoek at 15×7″ on its way from Etsy to Alicia in Washington. (Thank you Alicia.) Printed on 230gsm Olmec fine art paper by King of Herrings @kingherrings.
Painted in ink, plus pencil and black biro. This is the view of the Oudebildtdijk from the sea dike at Westhoek. No one who isn’t Dutch can actually pronounce “Oudebildtdijk”. It’s impossible. But apparently it’s the longest street in the Netherlands, and where I live.
Gordon Heuckeroth
Gordon Heuckeroth. This guy is on the telly a lot here. He seems to be on everything. People say he’s funny but my Dutch isn’t good enough to work out if he really is funny or not. He certainly looks like he’s funny, but it might just be an act. So I drew him backstage, waiting for his funny pill to kick in.

Somewhere in Groningen
Somewhere in Groningen from yesterday’s sketchcrawl with the Urban Sketchers Netherlands. It was pretty cold, so I didn’t sketch or crawl too much. But me and Gail found a sweet spot in a cafe, and I drew this from the window.
