Look, I started making a little shop for my art. You can even send postcards of the ones you like!

Around the corner. Café Franklin, on Valkenbosplein in The Hague. Food, drinks, and watching all the cars playing “Twister” at the intersection.

Autumn is upon us—alas.

However, that little white shop beneath the red chestnut tree serves some of the town’s best French‑fries (organic). They’re especially enjoyable in cold weather, when darkness is settling in…

I'm on the upper balcony, looking out over The Hague. If you look close, you can see someone else looking out too.
There's lots to see. Beautiful buildings as well as ugly ones, smack in the middle of course.

A quick sketch of my wife, working on the sofa and having a beer with me. Westvleteren!

I was sketching with a select group of urban painters yesterday, in the pub. A warm summer night in The Hague.
Everything is skewed 'n wrong, but that's what tripple beer does to you. And I like it. Fuck perspective!

One of the last beautiful summer days. Not many people noticed...

I designed this book for our dear friend Jeanne. Art and Religion in the Renaissance contains four studies of Piero della Francesca, Lorenzo Ghiberti, and Lorenzo Lotto.

While we were at Jeanne’s, in Italy, I photographed the cover in Florence and later visited Bergamo to marvel at Lotto’s magnificent work. You no longer need to travel to Italy to experience these masterpieces—this book provides everything you need!
