A second Substack article in my series about the Kamogawa book covers is live! The second cover, for The Restaurant of Lost Recipes, is a lot moodier than the first one. Head over to the link in my bio to read how I got inspired by all the architecture I’ve seen on my trip to Japan 🗼
Cover reveal!

I loved working on this cover illustration for latest book ‘Tussen de regels’, in which the main character takes on a journey through many many bookshops in Venice, New York, London, Paris and more.

Thank you
For some reason I’ve never really shown this project properly on social media, but better late than never! Every year since 2023, I’ve made a book cover for the Kamogawa Food Detectives series. The best projects: illustrating a cozy setting in Japan, featuring a cat and Japanese food 🍜🐈

The fourth book is coming up in October 2026, so perfect time to write a making off/behind the scenes of how I created these illustrations. On Substack. For you!

The first one is live and numbers 2, 3 and 4 will follow soon. Hope you enjoy these covers as much as I did making them 🤸‍♀️
Our week of demolishing our upstairs floor has come to an end 🏠 we’re exhausted but this was very rewarding to do! Our house is 113 years old and I think we found wallpaper from almost every decade.

We still got a lot of stuff to do! Sanding and painting doors, finding the proper lights for a low ceiling, getting blinds and curtains, figuring out wall colors…

Thanks to our friends and family who helped us ❤️ still 2-3 months of renovation to go🤞 Can’t wait to get my bath (and to wear cute clothes again)!
New work for 🏠

Editorial illustration for Aedes magazine with the title ‘Neighborhoods that pay for themselves’. For this edition I worked with a fixed colour palette outside of my comfort zone, but I like to see it worked out well 🌞

Thank you Puk Veelo from
Latest postcard I illustrated for 🌷
Made a timelapse of my latest funny project: decorating an ostrich egg for brewery!

To celebrate the launch of their Easter beer, Brouwerij ‘t IJ asked multiple artist to decorate eggs. They will be displayed at the Eggshibition at Saturday April 4 (with music and lots of beer of course).

My egg celebrates new life in Spring, but no cute chicks or rabbits here. I wanted an ode to the real unsung heroes of new garden life: the critters, the crawlies, the insects! 🐞🪳🐜
Music poster of, made as a surprise for my bf's birthday as it is his favourite band 🌵

(he loved it)
Today was the last day of my show at, and with that, the last (official) day of my residency 🌞 thanks to everyone that came to visit me, and all of your kinds words! Thank you and for organizing, and for helping me.⁠

I am very grateful to have been given the time and space to create so much new personal work that otherwise probably wasn't made due to time (I don't think I've ever been more productive!). I realise it's so important to keep making personal work for your style and voice to grow. I will definitely create more room for my own illustrations in the future, and hope to have the opportunity to do more exhibitions.⁠

I will put the artwork and photos of the show later. For now, a well-deserved holiday! I'm travelling to Kyoto, Nara and Osaka for a week before turning back home. You can follow my stories if you're interested 🏯 See you soon!⁠
