Hi

For the ones who still remember me, I was active on DA over two years ago and posted mostly realistic drawings/paintings. I stopped being active as I started my study at an art academy. Now, two years have gone by and so much has changed! I started working more conceptually and stopped drawing and painting. That's right! Of course I still draw once in a while, but it is not my focus anymore as I now work mainly with installations, performance, poetry and photography. 

So why am I here?
I'm not planning to come back to DA. It has taught me so much and I'm so grateful for the community here on DA but now it's not the right platform for me anymore.
However, I suddenly remembered I have still points lying around. It would be such a waste if nobody would be able to receive them.

Are there people interested in a drawing/painting/illustration contest??

As writing is one of the medium I work with, I would love to see what people imagine visually when they read one of my writings. You can see some of them on my instagram.

What the contest would exactly consists of, I don't know yet. But if there are enough people interested I will hold it. It's over a 1000 points. Anybody up for that??

Hello to the people who happen to read this.
I am yet again very absent from Deviantart. This is mainly because this year I started my first year Illustration at the Art academy, Willem de Kooning Academy. This means my life is all about art! However, excluding Deviantart. I've been very busy drawing all the time and experimenting with different media. I even tried digital media, painted with ketchup, made cutouts etc. I had to finish 100 works, collect 100 works and write an analysis within 2 weeks. Now that the assignment is done, I have to keep going on en create my own...book. So sadly there is no time for Deviantart :( So that's an update on life and I hope everyone is well. Hopefully I'll be able to check in once in a while to see the new awesome art in my inbox, but for now I will be absent.

Hello people!

Long time no see! It's been such a long time (again) since I've posted anything or done something with art. The last piece I finished was Deception from my "Imaginary Girls" series around April 2013 (though I uploaded later). So I did almost nada in a half year... I was planning to hold a contest but yet again sucked at planning and have this gift certificate thing (which was supposed to be for the contest) lying around. However this gift certificate expires January 30 2014 and would like to thank my dear watchers anyways, so a giveaway it is!

To enter you just need to comment, mention a deviant user and tell me why he/she inspires you or why you love his/her artwork.
-Only the first comment is eligible
-You have to be a watcher to be eligible
-You can enter until 21 December


Winner will be picked randomly with those handy random machines on the internet :D
I just like to discover some artists on deviantart

The winner will get the coupon number sent by note and do whatever he/she desires with it. Since I won't be sending the actual coupon, you can only use it on their site (if I'm not mistaken).
I have no idea if this code can be used internationally or how orders on the site works (I've never ordered from the site before).

You have to see this stop motion animation!
It takes little time to watch these and I promise, these animations are worth the time!
I adore the mind blowing concepts, but also how it's made. It takes them two years just to make the 12 minutes short animation.
Such effort deserves much recognition


I think I'll do the "normal"DA feature tomorrow again.
I'm trying to get back to DA and am halfway through the messages. I also uploaded some stuff which was quiet abstract..
But I'll do some realism again (kind of miss it). At this point I'm just trying to find my own style instead of sticking to realism.

It's been over a month or 2 since I last checked DA! The last time I uploaded was in November...
So many amazing stuff I missed and a lot of birthdays as well :( Sorry for that, I'll hopefully be back next week or so. I'm planning on holding a contest because I have a gift card from Dick Blick Art Materials lying around which I probably won't use.
Also, to keep me more active on DA...?

That doesn't mean I haven't been doing anything with art.
On the contrary! I've been working on commissions and did some shoe painting stuff (which I still want to upload).
I also had my very first tiny exhibition.
It was a project/competition where we amateurs were able to work with professional artists. There were several disciplines and I chose painting, because I wanted to learn more about this medium.
We worked for I think 6 hours or so (divided in 3 days) with the professionals. I finished two works for the exhibition. One main piece was mixed media (pencil, paint, watercolour) on paper and the other one was a quick one hour painting on paper.
At the exhibition visitors were able to vote and I was second place.

Final piece! :)

I have a picture of me and the final piece together but I look kind of awkward on it :B
I will upload the final piece on DA once I have it back and figure out how to scan it without damaging it. This piece is a part of a series I am working on.
Also, I think the model in this piece (Daphne Groeneveld) saw this! :happybounce: Not quiet sure but it seems like it haha
Besides this, I'll be joining Kunstbende this year with the series I'm working on. It's a national competition thingie for kids under 18.
So yeah....Hopefully I'll be back next week with features
