As an illustrator I create images, but I also do more than just that. Thanks to my education in Literature, broad interests and development, and not to forget relevant experience I have gained in this field the recent years, I can think along about various visual solutions. Also, I don't just use one and the same style all the time; I choose a form and type of content that fit the specific message the best possible way. So I can be of use to you in different ways. It always concerns custom work. Below are some specific examples of what I could do for you, but much more is possible.
|
Images for your websiteFor example; happy and colourful portraits of you and your team members, so potential customers can already meet you, the faces behind your organisation. These kinds of portraits always do well as profile pictures on LinkedIn or Twitter. Or maybe your production process is complicated but you would like to be able to show it to your network in a insightful and accessible way. Specific colours, techniques and style is something we always can go over on beforehand, so it can fit your corporate identity and is fitted for your target audience.
Examples of images illustrating services (mine, ha!) can be found on this page. |
Live paintingYou have planned a big birthday party, a romantic wedding, or a business dinner. You're looking for a tangible and elegant way to capture an impression of your event, or you're looking for a great gift to give together with friends or family!
A painting, made on location, is not only a very unique souvenir. Seeing a piece of art emerge on the spot also is a form of entertainment; it stimulates the curiosity of your visitors. Click here for a selection of paintings I made on location. |

Drawing and visualistion liveNothing comes in handy more than to have somebody with you that visualises what you think, live! It is also a lot of fun. I can think along during a brainstorm, sketch what's being discussed. I also often draw cartoony portraits live, during events. Your visitors will receive a tangible souvenir of the day. For this kind of work, I offer extra services like printing your logo and the date on the paper, so that people can see it when the portraits are shared on social media, or that the ones that got drawn can remember the event more clearly. There are a lot of extra options, for example; only drawing in the colours of your corporate identity, or including extras that fit within the theme of the day.
Click here for a selection of cartoony portraits I made for several clients and here to see an example of live cartooning. My hourly rate on site is between 65 and 100 euros (plus VAT and travel expenses), depending on the type of work, with a minimum of three hours. |
Making complex information accessibleThose annual reports, somewhat dusty, packed with numbers and text, are not easy to get through. Information is becoming a necessity of life in this era of informavores, and everyone wants to consume it as rapidly and efficiently possible. Images can help to provide insight in difficult matter, present it more appealing and easier to digest. As an illustrator with stong analytical skills and broad interest I can read fast and know how to translate that information into infographic-like visualisations or metaphorical illustrations.
I can provide this for an annual report, or for example an illustrated business canvas, as part of a newsletter, visual pitch or a Powerpoint/Prezi presentation. |

Social media-contentDo you have a message you would like to share in a fun way? Need appealing graphics and banners to promote your event? Want to share interesting facts that speak to your target audience, in a accessible way? A cartoon about something that happened at your organisation?
Images appeal; several researches show that one is more likely to react to a tweet or Facebookpost with an image, than to one with text only. When something also moves, that stands out even more. I always brainstorm with you what form and style fit best to your message and make sure that it is made with the right dimensions for a specific medium. |
AnimationWhat moves, generates extra attention. Our eyes are naturally drawn to movement. Animation also provides an extra dimension when you look at storytelling or relationships, because of timing and sound. "The shorter, the better" is often the case; don't make an animation too long if you want the message to stick around. It's almost always possible to supply images based on the animation afterwards, that can be used in a presentation, blog or report.
An animation can be used to tell the story of your organisation, or for example, as main part of an awareness campaign, as I did for the Dutch organisation de Zeehondencrèche. My prices for animations start at 1500 euros (plus VAT). |
|
For larger projects, I can contact good professionals in my network. For example, think of voice actors and sound designers when it's about an animation (series), a graphic designer for a print job, copywriters and editors for a content marketing project, or another artist who can draw along for a rush job. I know these people and know that they are trustworthy and can stand for quality work. I also have a number of partners I always work with for certain purposes. You can always contact me with ideas for new collaborations!

GV also has international connections, if your event might be planned somewhere outside of the Netherlands.
