The developing of so called “AI-agents”, AI-bots who do your groceries, reservations, fill in forms and agendas, comes with problems. The technology isn’t trustworthy in terms of understanding, and you don’t know where your personal data ends up. For @trouw.nl Image editor: Liselore Kamping 🙏

The Dutch key industry asks a lot of the Netherlands. A lot of natural resources, a lot of nature and a lot of money. We have to ask ourselves if we should continue this industry at all. For @vpro.nl gids, image editor: @bramdirven.bsky.social 🙏 Also: have a look at the detail in the corner ❤️

Some of the sketches from the last couple of assignments. Sometimes I start out with red to ‘search’ and then blue to ‘define’. Not all of them turn out to be the final illustration, by my or the clients choice. But an idea is never thrown away. :)

The joke of ridiculing non-cis white men or trans people by using a high pitched voice to implicate the one being not the norm to be less male. The phone horn being a phallic symbol in this context, as a call to what we perceive as being manhood and the silly hanging sack being tickled.

The difference between progressive and conservative parties in the Netherlands, regarding art and culture. Where the left wing wants to make room for reflection, reality and painful facts in history regarding kolonialism and equal rights, the right wing wants to focus on nationalism. For @trouw.nl
