PERMEKE LIBRARY MURAL

I did a big trippy colourful musical mural during The Big Draw festival in Antwerp at the Permeke Library. Loads of details, some Beatles references and an unintentional Keith Haring vibe went into it. Man that was fun. Would love to do more murals in countries over the world. Let me know if you can help me with that.

KRACHTVOER (VISUAL FESTIVAL REPORTER)

I was part of the visual festival reporter team at KRACHTVOER last weekend together with great artist friends Frederik van den Stock, Charlotte Dumortier and Wide Vercnocke. A wonderful festival for foodies in Antwerp. From fermented and pickled stuff to apple tastings, vegetables turned into music instruments, lectures about food photography, Polish dumplings, making your own sausages and more. It was glorious.

MONSIEUR PIMPANT WORKSHOP (LIVE DRAWING)

At the fantastic Cultures Maison independent comics & illustration festival in Brussels last month I did some on the spot live drawing for the Monsieur Pimpant Workshop. You get inside a drawing booth. You get three cards to draw inspiration from and you go on for about 20 minutes. Good times ! Watch the video here.

6001 IS THE NEW 1060 ( EVENT )

Today you can find me at the cool and upcoming maker fair "6001 IS THE NEW 1060" in in an old car wash in Charleroi. A poor industrial city where a new generation of young creatives is changing things, slowly but surely. It's in the French-speaking part of Belgium, so I'll be practicing my Français again a bit more :-). There will be people showcasing zines, posters, accessories, clothing,..

check out the nice flyer below ( not by me )

# RUBENS SELFIE ( MURAL )

I made a mural next to a little collection of my work at the wonderful music and art festival ZOMERZINTUIGEN. It takes place today, 10 august from 15h30 at the beautiful residential Huis Happaert in Antwerp.

My mural is an ode to the famous Antwerp painter Peter Paul Rubens.

MISSY ELLIOTT (ILLUSTRATION)

Missy Elliott illustration I did for a collaborative hip hop heroines book project. My piece didn't make it in the end, but wanted to share it anyway. 

And nice surprise: Missy Elliott herself retweetet my piece :-). Did I just gain street cred?

360° ELECTRICAL CABINET ILLUSTRATION

Last week 92-year old Belgian comic strip hero Marc Sleen inaugurated his own "Nero Stripmuur" mural in Antwerp. I felt privileged to design a 360° illustration print for an electrical street cabinet in front of the mural. It features a map of Antwerp with a walking tour that features all 10 comic strip murals. In connection with the mural I put in references to the comic Nero and to Antwerp and its maritime history.

ART GAMING - (EDITORIAL ILLUSTRATIONS)

I made a bunch of illustrations for an article by Michi-Hiro Tamaï about ART GAMING, a new wave in the world of games. The article is featured in the wonderful Belgian "24h01" MOOK project ( a 200 pages cultural quality crossover between a magazine and a book with no ads ). It's in French and it's beautiful. For the illustrations I was inspired by independent games like "Samorost" ( a personal favorite ), "Dys4ia", "That dragon cancer", "Fez", ...

THE VOICE MACHINE (ANIMATION ON TV)

After my live drawing on The Voice recently I was asked again to make a giant machine to be animated and shown during a performance of jury member Bent van Looy's team. This job was totally up my alley and it was superfun to see my work that big.

See the animation on tv here!

ALTERNATIVE PRESS LONDON (ZINE FEST)

My girlfriend and I had a great time last week at the Alternative Press Takeover zine fest in East London. Met loads of nice strangers and friends: awesome people like lo fi indie rock musician Joey Fourr, funny comic strip girls Lizz Lunney and Philippa Rice.

Globetrotting comic strip artist Steven Kraan and his girlfriend Willemien were so nice to have us over in Bedford. Great trip!

Here's our table. Yep, I drew eyes on my glasses.

Lizz Lunney in the middle.

Petticoat Lane.

Some desk doodling inspired by our trip.

Old mural in Bedford. Almost makes me want to start smoking. So cool!

THE CLOUD EATER ( BIG DRAWING )

I made a big piece for the great indie game festival "Free to Play" at the designcenter in Antwerp. I'm part of the group exhibition, but next to that there's of course loads of games to play on homemade arcades and other machines, a pixel wall, game-related fashion, loads of talks, game workshops and chiptune deejays.

Had loads of fun making this. Haven't done that much shading in a long time. Ink + watercolours. 50x70cm.

THE VOICE BEDROOM (LIVE PERFORMANCE ON TV)

I was asked to draw a bedroom live on tv on a giant piece of paper for jury member and musician Bent Van Looy's candidate Demi on the Flemish version of the popular tv show The Voice. Obviously a very basic drawing, but it was exciting to pull it off in less than 2 minutes live on tv with only one test the day before (that didn't work out). I eventually used liquid acrylics. Really fun experience.

Full video here!

That's me showing my ass in a white coat on tv!
