BB
I made cover illustrations for BB for over a year and I just finished the last one ever, because cut backs forced them to let people go.
Viral
To promote the Handboek voor de Popmuzikant/Musicians Guide website Elastique produced an online viral video.
super animals
17 pages for a trading cards collection book about Super Animals. The drawings are reused in other printed material, websites and movies.
Garage Sale 2011
The first weekend of june 2011: The famous Amsterdam Garage Sale is on holiday in Zürich Switzerland!
Handbook
I was given the job of building a complete website explaining young musicians how to expand their possibilities.
Free Font Index
Pepin Press published The Free Font Index Volume One. I participated with fonts like ShamBlock and Freshco.
Phew!
Yeah! We’ve got a new place to do our stuff. When the Kredit Krunch allows us some time to spoil, here’s what we’re looking at.
Beeldfestival Rotterdam
The day before Halloween I spoke at the International Beeld Festival Rotterdam. Freelance cartoon journalist Sandra de Haan reports on behalf of the Piet Zwart Institute in words and images on the IBFR's sights and sounds.
Good 50×70
During the winter you can find Borinka & me, in Paramaribo, Suriname, where we do non-profit work, like the workshop / poster contest ‘Good 50×70‘, promoting social communication. Here you see the result of the workshop. The first two posters won in the world wide contest and are published in the book.
TON
Illustrations for a magazine for truckers and other people working in the transport business. The job started out as pure infographics, but soon became more illustrative.
Realness Festival
I was asked to design a logo for a documentary festival for young people. I decided not to make a static logo because they already had a strong house style, but to give them a mascot.
Lolly Box
A piece of a retail box for lollypops I designed. The client wanted brighter colors, but I rather start somewhat duller so I can always go brighter.
Garage Sale
This is the flyer for a small art fair we organize every year with a group of fellow illustrators like Femke Hiemstra, Ingrid Bockting, Angelique, Erik Kriek and Leendert Masselink.
Shample02

Daniel Clowes
The first issue of Eisner Magazine featured a translation of Daniel Clowes famous comic strip High School Confidential. I transformed the original lettering into three typefaces (I must have been drunk). More info at shamfonts.com. . Here’s a nice (BBC) documentary about Daniel Clowes: .
Silicon Valley
This is a full spread for an internet magazine. Although it’s a lot of work to make something like this, it is also quit satisfying if it all works out (if you have the time, the payment is okay, and the art director doesn’t want any changes). It’s like a big puzzle where all pieces [...]
Chester Brown
Borinka did the lettering of a comic strip by Chester Brown, purchased by the dutch graphic novel magazine Eisner. I made a custom typeface by using the original lettering of this little story. Go ahead and click here to see if this font is available for download at shamfonts.com (should be, soon).
Señor Chicken
I designed this tiny booklet with chicken recipes for a guy who had it tested by a student panel. If that ever happens to you, don’t wait for the results unless you’re a downright masochist. I still like chicken, though.
Shambiel
Shambiel is a freefont designed by Bobby Pola (aka The Brown Star of Bethlehem – check his amazing work!) for Shamfonts.
Eisner
Eisner is a new Dutch graphic novel mag. See Erik Kriek's beautiful cover illustration, a portret of Will Eisner.
H*rt
The flyers & poster for this series of parties in Panama, Amsterdam, were all diecut into a circle. (I’ll try and find a photograph of the poster, I thought that was pretty cool!) The front was allways a piece of fruit with a large sticker, the back showed the inside of the fruit. For this [...]
Fruit for Ears
This is an oldie: a display stand shaped like Vincent van Gogh’s head. The flyer has the shape of an ear and can be torn from the head. When opened it has the form of a piece of fruit. A font was created for this series of flyers (for parties in the Amsterdam Mazzo), cut [...]
Captain Cardboard
Illustration for an UWV magazine, collage style. I'ld like to do something like this again. I like funny faces. Do you think you recognise this guy? His face is made up of parts of 4 or 5 different people!
