Arno Brok
David Lynch
A portrait of David Lynch with three faces, drawn in Photoshop using Kyle brushes.

An illustration inspired by the William Burroughs title of the same name.
On the way to Haarlem
This is drawn from the roundabout at Zaandammerweg, in Assendelft, which is on the way to Haarlem, if you’re cycling from Wormerveer, which I was that day.
Made mostly in that fantastic Cobalt Blue fountain pen ink by Graf von Faber-Castell, with some lines and smudges added in purple pencil. The ink is supposed to be a dark rich cobalt blue, but when you dilute it right down, or dab it off when it’s still wet on the page, it seems to go much more purple, even pink. It’s the loveliest ink I’ve ever handled.
Bluegrass
This painting is a close-up of a piece of ground I found in the sand-dunes at Heemskerk, painted (mostly) in Asa Blue fountain pen ink.
Kaya sleeping
This is Kaya, who Gail was looking after for a while. He’s quite old (for a dog) and mostly just sleeps—which is really great for drawing. I made quite a few of him.
Drawn in ink with a bamboo dip pen, a Rotring Artpen, and coloured pencil (purple).
Luke the Drifter
“In their shame they’re all the same. These men with broken hearts…”
Portrait of Hank Williams.
Amsterdam trees
Various trees around Amsterdam pulled together in drawing. Drawn in brown ink with a brush pen, and vermilion pencil.
