Old Picture #1

While cleaning the house I found this old picture that my dad (Frank Croes) took about 20 years ago.
I remember seeing this on the wall when I was a little kid and how it always seemed to capture my attention.
I’m still very much in love with this picture, so I replaced it on the wall where it used to be…

ps: the original has a more square like composition, but my scanner wasn’t big enough, sorry for that!!!

Alice In Wonderland

Hi people of the internet

I've been working on some illustrations for a modern version of Alice in Wonderland.
Its a school assignment and I need to make a total of 6 illustrations around this classic story.

In the last days I've been bussy with drawing different faces and costumes for Alice, I have quite a few and might show them in a near future. The one posted bellow is modern sketch of Alice which I like, although she defenitly needs more work and more reference to the story (I'm thinking about gadgets like a white rabbit toy and an image on her t-shirt, etc).

Some people might have noticed that I took away the process shots from the previous post, however don't fear that I will not post them anymore. I'll probebly won't post a lot of them on this blog, from now on u will find my process shots
on a new blog called rescue us roro. Rescue Us Roro is all about being creative and inspiring one another. This blog was put together by non other then Julie Smits who is a verry close friend and a talented woman. The site includes other artists too, ranging from Illustrators to writers to traditional artists and so on. I will not only post process shots there, but I will also be posting about the things that inspire me like music, films other peoples work or just a simple quote that inspired me to do an illustration of sorts.

Ok back to Alice, here is the sketch I was talking about :)

The genie and the pencil sharpener

Hi everyone,

Cover illustration for another pencil sharpener themed assignment.

Cover test & Infographic like illustration

Its been quite some time since my last update.
Reason for this beeing that I have a lot of stuff going on so most of my time is occupied with assignments, school and music.
The good thing is that things are finally reaching there ends and I'll soon be able to show u guys what I've been working on.

As for now here is a little tease at some stuff:

First of is a cover for a magazine named kaboel (jep thats the same Magazine I mentioned a few weeks back) We desided to change the cover image, and this is a work in progress.
Please feel free to share your thoughts on this cover, I'm still able to change minor things, and ofcourse it needs some cleaning up.



Following up is a preview of an Inforgraphic I made for a schoolassignment about a vintage pencil sharpener, not really my thing but it was allot of fun doing.
