Illustration 'Double Click' on poster

Illustration, printed on a poster and framed as a birthday gift to former business partner

Illustration 'Double Click' is a self-commissioned design for a poster. The poster was a personal birthday gift to good friend, Marc.

The illustration was entirely made in Adobe Illustration and features the recipient of the birthday poster and his girlfriend.

Not only is the cartoon character a representation of my friend Marc, we also co-founded our web agency Supershift. As a reminder to not only work but also spend some time with your loved ones, the text says (in Dutch): 'Don't forget to double click your girlfriend'.

Marc has been married several years now to the girl in the picture, :)

Vector cartoon character illustration 'Mafia'

Illustration 'Mafia' is a vector artwork made in Adobe Illustrator

Vector illustration 'Mafia' is an old ('90s I believe) personal project, set up purely for the fun of drawing it. 

I like the visual contrast between the girl and the little guy in the suit and how he blends with the background.

ING Real Estate - Project Gezonde Betrokkenheid - Cartoon character illustrations

Cartoon character design for an internal project at ING Real Estate, 'Gezonde Betrokkenheid' (Healthy Involvement)

Poster design for an internal project at ING Real Estate, 'Gezonde Betrokkenheid' (Healthy Involvement)

One for all and all for one! That was one the proposed one liners to be used in the ING Real Estate internal project 'Gezonde Betrokkenheid', which translates roughly as 'Healty Involvement'.

The project aimed at raising awareness for a healthy involvement of all ING Real Estate staff. Healthy as in 'social' but also healthy as in the involvement with eating healthy food.

To promote the internal campaign oranges were distributed at the entrance of the building.

Michiel Nagtegaal was asked to create a visual concept that matched the mission of the project. One of the ideas was to use a mascot (an orange) as key visual in the communication.

Vector illustration 'Supergans' (Supergoose), used for a wedding invitation of a former co-worker

A (former) co-worker, Hans, asked his girlfriend to marry him. She said yes and he asked me to design a cartoon character of the couple. How could I refuse such a request from someone with the nickname 'Supergans' (Supergoose)?

The vector illustration was made entirely in Adobe Illustrator and used on the printed wedding invitations.

Vector illustration 'Janette' on a poster as a birthday present

Vector illustration 'Janette'. It was printed on a poster as given as a birthday present

Girlfriend Janette once showed me a photo of herself, enjoying a warm autumn sun. And because I needed an original birthday present, I used the photograph as a base layer for a vector illustration.

The illustration was printed as a high quality poster and framed.

Made with Adobe Illustrator and with a lot of time to spend. Especially the zipper of her jacket was 'quite' time consuming.

When you become parents for the first time, you want it all to be perfect. Even the birthday cards. 

With a graphic designer and an interior stylist as fresh new parents, this side project took a little longer to get to the finish line.

The house in the illustration depicts our house and the crane bird has special meaning to Janette and her family. The cats are cartoon characters of our two cats.

Illustration for invitation 40th birthday party

Picture 1 of 3 - Illustration and invitation for my 40th birthday party

Picture 2 of 3 - Illustration and invitation for my 40th birthday party

Picture 3 of 3 - Illustration and invitation for my 40th birthday party

Inspired on some artworks I was working on at the time, the illustration was sketched with pencil before it was digitally designed in Adobe Illustrator.

It depicts various visual iconic elements that often can be found in my artworks. The shoe (All Star classic sneakers) represent a laid-back attitude. The rocket is a metaphor for the rest of my life, that is just started. The birds house represents the concept of 'home' where I can recharge my batteries and decide which next steps I should take.
