In summer 2011, audio designer David Kamp made some imaginary creature sounds. He sent these sound files to a bunch of illustrators, who then had to draw inspiration from these recordings to make artworks of matching creatures. Here’s my contribution.

You can hear the original sound that David sent me here on the Sound Creatures website. Be sure to check the other submissions as well!

This Saturday (August 6) I’ll be one of the 18 illustrators participating in the Spätkauf Kunst Aktion in Berlin. Spätkaufs are little night shops throughout the city, and we’ll be traveling from window to window in the Neukölnn and Kreuzberg areas. Brushes and paint, drinks, music, nice people, an afterparty, what else could you wish for? Some nice weather perhaps, although the weather forecast doesn’t seem to be very positive. Mad paint drip effects guaranteed. If you’re around, come say hi!

Like OMG!! More Zoobles! The freshly introduced Mama Baby mix and a completely new Zoobles line: the snowy land of Chillville. Brrr… You can check them out here!

Hi there, it’s been a while. I’m still working on the Zoobles toy illustrations, and happy to announce that the Azoozia line came out. As always, check it out in the work area.

In the meantime, Zoobles have won the People’s Play Award and have been nominated for Toy of the Year 2011 (category Girl Toy). So, congratulations to Spin Master! Working on such a successful product makes my work even more fun. Cool stuff.

Hello! The Zoobles from the Seagonia series have just been added to the work area. Enjoy!

Whoa! It’s been more than a year ago since I participated in this pitch for Spin Master’s new toy line for young girls: Zoobles. I won, and it turned into my biggest illustration job so far. I’m still working on it (hence the radio silence), so far I’ve illustrated over 60 characters and the worlds they live in for packaging, promotion, website and print.

It’s been quite an experience to work on something this huge, and to keep things a secret for so long. So I’m thrilled to tell you that the first batch of Zoobles has been released, which means you can check some of my work here.

Hello! In between working on my everlasting secret projects and drinking cocktails I found some time to update my portfolio. My illustrations for AOL and Göoo Magazine have been added to the work area.

In the meanwhile Computer Arts Projects 139 is out. Art directed by Alan Wardle, the collaborative cover of this character design themed issue is jam-packed with, well, characters. The street scene features my Little Shop of Horrors inspired creature as well. Go get it.
