Experience

  • Art director, project manager, illustrator, concept artist at Spent Brass Productions
    America, United States of America
    July 2022 - Present

    The Modihu Chronicles is a series of books written bij the American author Brian Harrison. The first of many books has been released and many more are to follow.

    The Modihu Chronicles is a story that has been built upon for 30 years and spans tens of thousands of years. My job is to make sure that everyone (from artists to web developers) knows what happens when and where, and when specific art or write-ups have to be finished.

    This includes prioritizing everything that has to be done.

  • Co-owner at Spudnik and Knofje
    Netherlands-Australia, Netherlands
    June 2021 - Present

    Spudnik and Knofje is a collaboration between me and an artist friend of mine who lives in Australia. It's a comic/meme type of project that illustrates the life of 2 introverted artists living in opposite parts of the globe. They are portrayed as a potato and garlic bulb.

  • Owner at Life to Legend

    January 2021 - Present

    Life to Legend is an educational platform meant for artists. Here I publish weekly blogs on art-related subjects. These can be as straight-forward as art fundamentals, but also about natural environments and unique animals we can draw inspiration from.

    This platform is built in such a way that it can host courses in the future.

    I been a freelancer from the start, taking on jobs like commercial art and design for local companies. Mostly practical things like menu's, outdoor commercials, flyers etc, but all with an artistic approach. Alongside this i started to educate myself in creature and character design.

    These days I also work on my own educational project: Life to Legend, as well as a project with a fellow artist: Spudnik and Knofje.
