As promised here’s the painting of the sketch I uploaded two day’s ago. (Oil on canvas)

I’m sorry of the blurry quality of the picture, I’ll change the picture with a better one ASAP.

Here’s a new Turkey sketch I made today. It’s my preparation for a paining which I’ll hopefully finish on Thursday, I’ll try to post it here on Friday.

Here’s a new painting of a Turkey.

I really enjoy painting Turkey, because I love their colors and expression.

Oil paint on metal plate.

Detail from the turkey, still a bit blurry, because of the bad picture quality.

Here are some small recent sketches from my sketchbooks.

A sleeping Rhino.

My cat, enjoying the warmth of my bureau lamp, while I’m studying.

My dad, sleeping on the couch.

Here’s a sculpture I made about a year ago. I dressed him up a bit for the occasion :p

I wish all of you a Merry Christmas and a good and healthy 2010.

-Aquarelle, a bit blurry photo, sorry…

Here are the skateboards I designed for a course at school. We had to create something  and get the inspiration for the designs from an other culture. I mainly based my designs on the motives in the west african Kuba culture. The motives are mostly on pieces of textile, scarification tattoo’s and houses.

I wanted to give the pattern something personal so I made a small self-portrait for this one (the eyes).

In these I used a drawing of a Kuba women that I did earlier on.

For these I re-used the Eyes I drew earlier on.

I still need to decide which of these 9 designs I’m going to print on a skateboard, so please leave me a comment on which one you like the most…
