UNTITLED - JAN 2020

Drop the broom and grab your bike witches! A little something I made for Halloween.

During last summer I spotted this dude riding round and round Vondelpark towing his big ass speaker so everyone can hear his selected music choices. funny but also a little annoying.

You don't see many bikes like this. Not sure I would feel safe or even seen but I like the idea of the reclining position.

He may look tough but he's a big softy. early Black and White illustration.

Some of these vintage cargo bikes are so gorgeous just like the people using them.

The Edge of Night We are living in the days on the edge of night You can see the darkness swallowing up the light As the world of man accepts wrong for right Time is short, and it is foolish to waste it By debating with skeptics that faith in God is intellectually bright We are living in the days on the edge of night The enemy’s delusion is thick So, walk by faith and not by sight Don’t lie around sunbathing in the light We must pick up the banner of Christ And work as long as there is light! (January 23, 1994)

This one is a private commission for a friend. That's a Dutch strop-waffle the seagull has stolen. Happens more often than you would think.

It's been raining so much lately it almost feels like I'm showering on my bike.

Balanced Family Values. You can quite often spot a family like this riding around like it's totally normal.

BMX. The small bike with the big attitude

These are the tan lines you get when you've been cycling round in shorts and tshirts all spring

The Australian Magpie

Spotted this cute backpack couple around town. Inspired by all the creative ways the Dutch go to to travel with their best friends.

Snack Attack is what happens when you don't pay attention to attacks from above while riding hands free on your bike and eating your triple fried fries and ketchup. I actually saw this happen. From my series Bikes of Amsterdam.

Custom Paint Job. sometime the best way to find where you parked your bike in the huge bike parks is to make it stand out with a custom paint job.

This is an Eastern bluebird illustration I recently completed for a Christmas project. It's also the first illustration I did in Procreate. :)

This is how my brain works when I imagine. To see more artworks, follow my Instagram account the.rainmaker_ Link : https://www.instagram.com/the.rainmaker_/

For me, it's the process of creating - not really the end result. Once something is done, it's done and you move on to the next process. Life is the ultimate process after all. We don't hang around and admire the dead body once it has finished what it needed to do...On the other hand, the end result of someone's process can be felt through what they have left behind. I hope this is what will eventually happen with the art I create.

This is a Sandwing in the Wings of Fire OG artstyle. Before you say it, no I DID NOT TRACE ANYTHING. My literal only reference was the front cover and guide to the tribes in Dragonslayer by Tui T Sotherland (is that with a u or an o)

There is a busker that rides around Amsterdam with his huge cello on his back.
