I have been drawing with great pleasure for as long as I can remember. With great enthusiasm in preschool and kindergarten. Then in school and college benches. As the court artist of TSV Plato and as a regular illustrator of some Tilburg hospitality establishments.
In addition to 'more serious' jobs, the drawing was put on the back burner for a while, but after the start of my first own web project CardVibes in 2000, where I initially sketched an animated e-card service together, the fire was reignited. When I also decided that the birth cards of my two wonderful daughters needed my own drawings, I was back in the saddle completely.
All that drawing deserves an outlet, a stage if you will. In 2006, I began cautiously offering my drawings on the illustration marketplace of a large T-Shirt printer. With unexpectedly great success. So much so that a little webshop, completely dedicated to my own drawings, seemed logical.
You are now on that shop. There is a do-it-yourself shop where you can create T-shirts and other products to your heart's content with all the illustrations that I have made for the T-Shirt business over the years.
In addition, there is the ready-to-wear shop. There you will find ready-made T-shirts, baby clothes, and more, with specially selected drawings that, in my opinion, deserve some extra attention.
Enjoy browsing and shopping,
