One painting in progress from Kyoto (still on white canvas). Needs one more sitting to be done.
Kyoto Machiya – behind a gateway. To be finished if there is sunshine again.

Noordwijk Festival II
Some more pictures from the Nordwijk Festival.
This is the second painting I did outside there. Was kinda funny how it made all passersby shout “klaprozen” (Dutch for poppies) – I’ve heard the word 50 times that day. So named the picture this way.
The original is sold, but I’ll create a limited number of prints of it.
Klaprozen – oil on 25×50 cm linen canvas
Here is a work-in-progress.
I started with a blue underpainting, so that the red tones would come out stronger in the end.
Also there visiting: a beetle stinkbug nymph, with a triangle and three stripes…
…nature is weird sometimes.
Portrait Mashup – Step Two
Here is another work-in-progress of the portrait mashup I did at the Portrait Month.
That one is over now sadly – still want to finish the image though (see first step here). So maybe one or two portraits will still come. But the next event is planned: I’ll be at the Noordwijk Painting Festival – where lots of artists paint from real life for one week. Expect lots of beach-pictures coming up!
Portrait Mashup - Work in Progress second step
Portrait Mashup WIP
The second week of the portrait month is on.
Painting people for three days in a row really taught me a lot, I should do it more often – else its really just walking in shallow waters. Anyways, here is a work in progress – planning to have two or three more faces on this canvas. And maybe I’ll fill up the white with a dark color so the colors come out more.
Also by the way: good news from the Dutch Government! I mentioned recently their plans to raise sales taxes on art. This has now been reversed – they’ll now lower them back to 6 percent.
Work in progress. Two or three more faces to come.
Work in Progress 3 and Random Linking
And the 3rd version of the Marta Oil painting (after first WIP and second one). Near the end of the session the model agreed to come another time – so it would have been done, but I sure appreciate having lots of time to do the face, and then just tweak. I really spent a lot of time just observing and thinking – and that paid off in my opinion.
"Marta" - work in progress 3
Some finds on vastness of the internet space:
- Illustration art blog at a really touching update of the “Artists in Love” series.
- Ok, this “Jeff Koons must die” video game is a bit radical – but hilarious. Funny how much time the artist must have put in to copy Koons’s artworks – considering he doesn’t seem to like it.
- And some inspiration for concept artists: Forget Hollywood – these insects (called treehoppers) have the most alien body-appendages ever. Scientists just found out that it is transformed wings from ancient evolution. But what they are for is mostly unknown. (more pictures are here, and here)
Treehopper - Heteronotus Maculatus
As a twist, the following one, while looking like an existing treehopper, is a Papier-mâché model by Alfred Keller (thanks to Susanna Jerger for the link).
Treehopper Bocydium-Globulare by Alfred Keller. Based on the real bug.

Work In Progress v.2 – and a Trailer
The next step of the Marta Oil painting (see the first one here).
"Marta" - work in progress 2
And shameless as I am – I’ll crosspost again about my game. This time I can finally show some trailer. I’ve got some interesting feedback already. It is of course tricky – because not only is everything not even half done, but much has to be rushed. I’m the only artist on it for now, and can only work on it in-between earning money – so there are limits, and I cannot fix all critique. But good to hear anyways – so I will for example probably still tune down the light colors. We also will tighten up the level, so that the breaks between the player-interaction are smaller.
If you live around Utrecht, you can check the game on the upcoming Saturday – 14th of May in the Dutch Game Garden.
WIPs of Oils and Pixels
Here is my current oil painting as a work in progress shot – two more sessions coming up on this one.
"Marta" - work in progress 1
Also, since I spent sooo much time on these assets and videos, I’ll post them here too: This is the bigger object that has final quality for “caromble. Still will have to adjust the style a little bit in future assets.
Caromble Farmouse - Diffuse
Caromble Farmouse - Normal Map
Two Videos And a WIP Sit in an Airplane…
Here is a work in progress of the painting I’m doing for the Gallery Stoker exhibition.
Emily - Work in Progress - oil on 20x20cm linen
Also the other day I posted an update on Caromble, outlining our gameplay ideas.
And here are two videos I just have to post. They’re fun either way, but knowing Minecraft is a plus. And if you don’t know it, it’s about time to start playing 
.
This video is a spoof of the “Dead Island” trailer that is doing the rounds recently. Better than the original if ya ask me.
Ji-Hae 2: Work in Progress Step two
Before I’m off again for the third session, here’s a quick update on the painting I showed off last week. Probably won’t finish it today – fixes on the face are left, the eyes of course, hands, dress, flower-bucket… too much, so I’m planning to make one session without model next week.
