This month I’m showing some of my typographic odes to my daughter in Puntspatie’s Plantage Etalage here in Amsterdam. So come take a look if you are in the neighbourhood!

For some more information, go to Puntspatie’s site

Typography inspired by the title of a 1970 In and Out of Focus by Focus by Dutch band Focus.

Illustrations for the article “Ten things you need to know about Gen Z” for Research World magazine

Part of a series of illustrations I made for Probiblio’s multiannual plan. Probiblio is an organisation that supports libraries in the west of Holland. Done in collaboration with Erikenik.

Inspired by something Quincy Jones said in an interview. Coloring and style inspired by feedback from Wim Wepster

“Ik ben blij!” is something my daughter recently said. It means “I’m happy!”

The text can be roughly translated as “Is it OK for me to get out of bed, Daddy?” and was one of the first sentences spoken by my daughter.

‘Alles is wit’ was the first real sentence my daughter spoke to me. It means ‘Everything is white’ and she said it while looking outside at the snow.
