I redesigned our logo!

Thank you! Id say: j.p. Miller, the Provensens, Mary Blair, Aurelius Battaglia. First four that come to mind!

I’m flipping through my first Little Golden book, Sammie is zoek! (Sammie is missing!) which marks a decade since its release. This one is special as its my debut as an author/ illustrator. I drew inspiration from midcentury LGB artists hoping I’ve honored their legacy. @andreabrownlit.bsky.social

Hard to believe it's been 25+ years of illustrating! Time goes by like nothing. Fellow artists know you create a lot and don't always remember every piece. But this album cover stands out as was one of the first I was asked to design and illustrate. @andreabrownlit.bsky.social @ksonnack.bsky.social

I recently finished working on this cover for a new picturebook I am illustrating. Guess who’s it about? Written by Mark Haayema and publisher Rubinstein. Part of the ‘Golden Bible Stories’. At this moment I am working on the inside illustrations.

Another Daantje Dirigentje finished illustrating. Nr5 in the series. Eventhough it is quite a task to make sure all instruments are depicted correctly it is a lot of fun working on this little character. And this time I added some nice outdoor shots to the book. #illustration #kidlit #picturebook

Here are some illustrations I worked on for my commission with yearbookmachine. I'm really proud of how these turned out and I'm grateful for the trust that the lovely people at YBM placed in me to try something new. #illustration #limitedpalette #illustrator

Allebei prima te doen!

Ja he! We boffen!

I just made a reel on insta featuring my studio/ workspace at Haarlem station in the Netherlands. I had to crop it a bit for Bluesky to still show the text. A real joy to be able to work here everyday! #studio #illustration #kidlitillustration @ksonnack.bsky.social @andreabrownlit.bsky.social

Wait! It’s #portfolioday! Encroyable. Here’s are some examples of illustrations I made over the years! This year marks my 10th year as a kidlit illustrator. I wrote three and illustrated about 45 books this past decade. And there are more coming soon. I’m represented by @ksonnack.bsky.social

Loved working on this Lp albumcover for dutch jazzband extraordinaire New Cool Collective on the Doxlabel. This album features the Bigband playing some of their classics. The band gave me complete freedom to come up with this. Always a thrill to work for these guys! What a band. #illustration #jazz

Just a detail from a current project. For years drawing en profile was something I dreaded having to draw So difficult. This one came out nice enough. Learning everyday! @ksonnack.bsky.social #illustration

Wow!! It looks awesome!

Yeah but a graphic novel series!! That’s cool in my book! Can you tell anything more?

What are working on the rest of the time? Animation? Or books?

Burning the midnight lamp once again: though the end of this project is in sight. There are worse places to work overtime!
Mine is here! An old signpost house inside a trainstation! Sometimes noisy but lots of ambience. I’m curious to see other creatives workspaces! Where do you all work?

Our best work! New designs in our shop! Presented with style by our daughter Julie!

Here’s a new(er) one I illustrated for Schiphol Magazine on neurodivergence on the job.
