city

Himalayas Set 1 * This is the walk the construction workers take from their village to Mcleod Ganj every working day. So much respect for their tenacity.

This head is from a broken sculpture I found in A church of Rome when I was exploring the city, you can see a lot of these sculpture on the streets when you look around.

Paris and The Eiffel Tower

The title says a lot allready. This is a small watercolor I made in a beautiful parc, in the city of Québec, Canada.

A creative city done with a black fine liner pen. On paper

This is a quick watercolor of a place in Quebec city, by the water, where I used to relax and enjoy the peace.

I was selected to be one of the local artists to paint a piano that the nonprofit organization city sounds will put on public display in one of several spots in the city.

Apolonia Cacadu (her family is calling her: Polly) is a working girl. Very hard working. During the day, she works part time in three different places, and in the evenings she professionally swings on a swing above the bar counter, in the "Under parrots" pub. Because of this constant running around the city, there is little time for her to eat, and often her daily meal is just a handful of crackers (which she loves) and a few green olives with pepper. That’s why her weight is rather featherlike. She dreams about a trip to the Amazon rainforest and spreading her wings as a dancer (she’s great at dance hall and twerking).

Assignment 2 London Art College - Illustrating Children's Books. Imagine a boy were to find a secret city under his kitchen sink. DPS. Created digitally, freehand drawing in Photoshop.

This Illustration is a revisited self portrait. The breast on my back feed four pencils/tentacles and the color spread from the female body to the page and "travel" all around the surface. The meaning is to show the reciprocity between the artist and the manufact.

This has been such a joy to draw. I love the simplicity of the face with more details in the back. And how can you not love Sphynx cats

For day 27 I made a very diluted India ink wash and painted a cityscape at night with white ink over it. I like how it turned out! Naïve and quirky.

The sketch is done, just need to grab some markers and add color.

This is a doodle of a number of old buildings in my city Zwolle. This was my view from my old studio.

The ruined city gates done using drawing inks and a Noodlers Ahab fountain pen

A dense cluster of geometric buildings sits beside the phrase "Offline is the New Rich" highlighting a contrast between urban and online life, and simplicity. To the right, a small house stands alone surrounded by trees and clouds.

Primrose is the oldest, Daphne is the middle, and Dalena is the youngest. The outfits were found on Pinterest/Instagram. The background was hard to come up with. I referenced Martin Ivanov's Gotham City for the background. Their story is still in the works but I wanted to draw them anyway.

Sometimes you see people so cool it makes you question "can people this cool really exist?"
