My most favorite youtube channel and inspiration for recipes is Pick Up Limes, which is founded by my dear friend Sadia. Last summer I illustrated the new logo, a youtube banner with hanging plants just like those in her studio, and illustrations for the new E-cookbook, which you can order through her website!
My dear friend Britt wrote her first poetry bundle with 55 little poems and I had the honor to illustrate the cover.
You can order the bundle through her website little-universe.nl.
In addition to the PostNL Christmas stamps and cards, I also illustrated their own Christmas-card and coloring page.
Today is finally the day I can announce that for the past months I have been working on a project which I loved doing and felt very honored about;
I illustrated the December postage stamps for PostNL!
These illustrations are inspired by my family’s tradition of individually preparing food dishes and eating these dishes together on Christmas evening.
Together the individual drawings on the postage stamps tell a story: a festive parade of humans and animals on their way to a place where they will celebrate Christmas. The parade ends with the polar bear standing next to a post box, posting cards to the ones who are not able to attend, making the story come together. To me, these December postage stamps symbolise the importance of spending time with the people and animals I love. Not only did I illustrate my father with his Christmas lights, but also the chickens who live in my backyard. I believe that the warmth that December gives us is not only for humans but also for animals.
The stamps are available online and in all the PostNL retail stores.

Today and tomorrow are the last 2 days to order from my webshop before I go to Italy. Tomorrow at 17:00 I’m going to the postoffice for the last time. Orders after tomorrow will be send on 23th September.
For the Cantina Beato Bartolomeo da Breganze, a Winery located in Breganze, Veneto Region, Italy I made this label for their new organic wine.
