Big Questions
What does the inside of the earth actually look like? Earth scientist and associate professor Arwen Deuss is trying to visualize, through seismic waves caused by earthquakes, the center of the earth. I created these animated sequences for the documentary series 'Grote Vragen' (Big Questions) by Emmy...
Botanical Illustrations ~ A Watercolour Classic
There is something eternal to botanical illustrations, which has always fascinated me. Though Georgia O'Keeffe once said, "I hate flowers – I paint them because they're cheaper than models and they don't move", I personally love flowers and find them challenging to paint, because they vanish so qu...
Houston Row Houses
This project started when I moved back down South after having lived away from "home" for 7 years or so. I found my home city so beautiful--the no-zoning, the repurposed commercial neighborhoods and residential wards. The historic row houses were a hot-mess counterpoint to the surrounding suburbs to...
Creating Phone Backgrounds

I love creative lettering long time ago and I practise every day for being better and get a nicer technique. One day, I decided to start doing different projects or volumes to check my progress and see if I was improving. This is the fourth from other three volumes I did before and it's made by five...
