HOT SJOT POP FEST 3 ( POSTER )

Psychedelic poster for Hot Sjot Pop Fest 3 @ Het Bos in Antwerp 11 May 2018 organized by the crazy awesome garage rock punk guys of Hotsjumenas. The past few years they really started a wave in Antwerp by organizing a non stop stream of great garage rock punk gigs. Had a lot of fun drawing this.

HAPPY 2018 (ILLUSTRATION)

Happy New Year! Enter 2018 like you are unstoppable! Crazy adventures ahead if you want it. Plan those dreams. Work on some new skills perhaps. Try to become the best version of you.

This year my very first 2D animated series will air on Belgian and Spanish TV. It's called Elvis & Benny. Think Pingu meets Spongebob, but it's definitely its own universe. So excited about this. Worked like crazy on it all of last year non stop.

Already planning a few trips that I'm looking forward to: Leipzig and Berlin in March ( Millionaire's Club zine festival ), London in June ( Elcaf zine festival ) and very probably a USA road trip in September.

For 2018 gonna try to post a drawing every day from now on. Let's do thissss!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS (ILLUSTRATION)

Happy awesome holidays everyone! Despite a lot of bullshit in the world there's still so much awesomeness. So grateful for all the great people and fun things I got to do already in this life journey. Create the world you wanna be in. xx Jango

KEKKO, LITTLE MAN ADVENTURES (ANIMATION)

Inspired by kawaii manga/anime and graphics I saw in Japan last year I created this little dude for fun. Now I kinda want to make animated adventures about him. So stay tuned.

BREAKFAST BAIT (PAINTING)

Painting I did for a collab with Fred Michielsen. Totally wanna paint more.

SWAAJP (ANIMATED LOGO)

Animated version of the logo I made for Antwerp improv theatre group SWAAJP. It's the Dutch phonetic representation of the verb "swipe", referring to the swiping between improv bits. The hand is also symbolic for the city of Antwerp.

NIGHT PAINTING (VIDEO)

Late night painting at my studio, working on a collab piece.

LOU POSTER (ILLUSTRATION)

Illustrated happy wacky psychedelic monster parade poster for my friends Stijn & Leentje to celebrate the birth of their newborn daughter Lou. Snuck a little Bowie, Zappa and Devo reference in there as they are music lovers.

WHO POOPED ? ( ILLUSTRATION )

Based on a graffiti piece I improvised early this week for my mural collective Studio Entropica, I made this litte silly illustration. Quite the mystery.

WEIRD IS GOOD ( ILLUSTRATION PRINT )

NEW PRINT. A3, high quality print. 12 euros + sending costs. Mail me if interested jangojim@gmail.com

I snuck a little Alejandro Jodorowsky and Tyler the Creator in there.

BLACK THE MOVIE TIME LAPSE MURAL

Time lapse video of a red carpet mural with my mural collective STUDIO ENTROPICA for BLACK. An epic gangster romance movie by my buddies and movie directors Adil El Arbi & Bilall Fallah. Went out of my comfort zone to design something that matched the poster art more. The movie is about two rival gangs in Brussels hence the two wild animals against an abstract urban jungle backdrop. Learned a lot from having to pull this off quickly. Great fun.

SKETCH TIME - FRIDAY

Quickly colored lunch break sketch inspired by Medieval Harlequins and Japanese pet stores.

SKETCH TIME - SHAZAM !

Quickly drawn and coloured sketch during a lunch time doodle session. Inspired by Japanese toys, magic and Mount Fuji.

DOGPLANE ( ANIMATION )

Hello I am dogplane. Animated gif made in Tv Paint.

TYLER THE CREATOR ( STICKER FEATURE )

My sticker next to the face of TYLER THE CREATOR ! Pretty cool. Thanks to Belgian rapper Woodie Smalls.

Always carry a sketchbook and always keep on drawing and doodling for fun. Castle on a roll, I bet it would love the universe of M.C.Escher.

He still has a show running in The Bries Space, Antwerp till 13 december. Don't miss ! More info HERE.

UNIQLO COASTER (illustration)

Made a coaster illustration to celebrate the opening of a new store of Japanese clothing brand Uniqlo in Antwerp. Great to collaborate with a company from Tokyo since I visited Japan this year and had a blast. The coasters were spread all over Antwerp.

AIRPLANE TATTOO DESIGN

Here's a silly airplane drawing as a tattoo design for illustrator Michael Seymour Blake from New York. Always honored and a bit weirded out someone's walking around with one of my drawings on their body. Drawing stuff is the best ! :)

EKTA COLLAB IN SWEDEN (MURAL)

Recap to a mural collab I did in Gothenburg, Sweden some time ago with awesome artist Ekta ! We experimented a bit with a more messy spraycan that looks like sketchy drawing lines. Good times !

HOLY SHIT (COLLAB DRAWING)

Recently coloured a silly collab drawing I did with illustrator buddies Charlotte Dumortier, Daspasfunky & El Neoray from a few months ago ! ‪

COFFEE AND DINOSAURS ( DESK FUN )

Perfect autumn day for coffee and dinosaurs. And pineapples of course.

SUBBACULTCHA MURAL INTERVIEW

Because of the Diego Rivera inspired mural for Mestizo Arts Festival I recently worked on with 4 great illustrators, I was interviewed by Subbacultcha, an independent arts and music magazine. They wanted to know about our favorite murals in Antwerp. I talk about the one designed by comic strip artist Brecht Evens. ( click image to go to the site)
