Birth card
Cause the parents didn’t know if it was going to be a boy or a girl until birth, I created designs for both options. The final outcome was a baby boy: Jirre.

Headache
Due to a concussion I needed to give my brain some rest. I wasn’t allowed to focus so no screens or reading. Which was a huge challenge and what to do? I drew, but in short time frames only.
In this drawing you can see a huge reptile in the centre and it refers to the reptilian brain, the oldest of the three, which controls the body’s vital functions such as heart rate, breathing, body temperature and balance.

Tumi
One of the most sold souvenirs in Peru was Tumi. After visiting the well-preserved mummy, Juanita in the museum of Andean Sanctuaries in Arequipa, I discovered the actual meaning of Tumi. The Inca’s used Tumi as an ‘medical’ instrument to hit the skull of the children to kill them and to offer and mummify them to the gods. Inspired by this horrible story but yet so beautiful creation, I drew my own Tumi. Read more about Tumi or Mummy Juanita

Nu descendant un escalier
Inspired by Marcel Duchamps ‘Descendant un escalier’ in which he captured the movement of a person descending stairs, I did the contrary. Instead of showing the movement of one person/ character, I show several characters frozen in the movement.
