Winter in Japan

Even if the climate keeps changing, we keep on illustrating seasons the good old fashioned way:-)

Tom Tekent! (in de boekhandel)

Ter promotie van ons laatste kleurboek komen wij volgaarne op zaterdagmiddagen uit ons (tuin)kot!

Dumont Calendar 2019

Kobe-Au-Tom

Seasons always start early in Japan and this particular campaign – with it’s Halloweenesque ambiance – is already on since the first of September. Of course we couldn’t know typhoon Jebi was bound to hit the city of Kobe on the 4th, but everything seems to be dried up by now. And in the mean time we’ve already furnished the Winter & Christmas images, so life seems to go on…

PS hard to deny the great one by Hokusai when you have to paint Japanese waves:-)

Annual Poster (think local / act local, part 2)

A jubilee on it’s own: this poster’s used for the 10th year on a row to announce our local annual fair!
