Some portraits I made. Including my own, because I like to keep social media and everything up to date with a recent one instead of a picture.
This was really the first painting I made this year. On paper that is. Felt like such an achievement.
And I finally got to the point where I made a digital illustration again. This one is complety made with the Pen tool in Illustrator… A lot of work.. I am not kidding. But worth it.
As a motivational piece I made cards for my closest friends. It helped a lot to get me back on the creative side of things.
One of the first illustrations I made this year. I had such a hard time getting back into it. This was a scene I came across while walking through the neighborhood with my aunt.
I finally got in a creative flow again with these illustrations. I was hooked on electric/electro swing music. These illustrations I made whilst listening to the music. I had great fun.
The last one of 2017 I will show you guys. A christmas card and some sketches.
Elfia Haarzuilens of 2017 + 2018.
2017 was way too busy and hectic to do a real costume. So I used my spider elf costume I had made for Halloween the year before. I discovered a stall which sold a book which had a story in it I had once written for a competition.
In 2018, this year, I made a costume Indonesian style. It was such great weather that day. But I was way to tired. Burnout and everything.
I hope to make a new costume for next years Elfia!
(last picture was made by photographer Bart Verhees)
I have been working on a painting for a customer in 2017, a business logo on canvas, with a twist. And this year, 2018, I made a mural to go with it.
Life has been so busy, surprising and at times very sad. A lot has happened in the last couple of years and I am still working hard to get back in the creative flow as a result. I will first post some things I made during the last two years, and work my way back to the present.
