Illustration for a brand new diary app for iPhone that seperates the public from the private.
There are moments in life you want to share with the world, like your wedding, your personal achievements, your brilliant ideas and your holiday hotspots. But there may also things you’d rather keep to yourself, like your secret mistress, your failures, your personal thoughts or your boyfriend in speedos. Now there is PRSN.NL-MEMORABLE (iTunes link) a brand new social diary app, that lets you have not one but TWO timelines. With a single flip you can swipe between the things you share (on Facebook or Twitter) and the things you don’t. Choose a coloured dot for each event to create the underground map of your life. I was asked by app-maker Almar van der Krogt to create the locket image of the app, that represents the inside of your iPhone, where every memory is stored. You flip between them with the flick of your finger. Also revealing the beauty that lies in between.
Of course your life proceeds chronologically and that is how you can browse through it, but by tilting your phone you enter the tag view. It allows you to see connected memories and jump right into another time of your life.

Illustration for a trade magazine for financial managers and comptrollers
The new and restyled trade magazine for financial managers and comptrollers in The Netherlands Tijdschrift Controlling published by Kluwer, is out now. For the past 8 years I have illustrated a feature in this trade magazine every month. The article The cost price of pension offers insight on the various factors that may influence the actual cost of a pension plan for employees.

Infographics as part of a governmental campaign to make kids more active

Not all kids are interested in sports, something I can relate to! In 2005 I was asked to contribute a total of 200 infographics (a lot of work indeed) by NISB a Dutch institute for sports and movement to a campaign that was initiated by the Dutch Ministery of Health, Wellbeing and Sports in co-operation with the national sport leagues. The sports and games instructions were freely distributed to all BSO’s in the Netherlands (after-school care). The instructions were presented in a binder with loose leaflets for all sports. The first binder comprises, basketball, gymnastics, judo, handball, tennis and soccer. Of course the main objective, besides fun, was health and overweight prevention.

New cartoon for Stuey in student magazine ‘Modulair’
New cartoon for Open University in the Netherlands student magazine. Stuey is still the smart, but somewhat clumsy genius in every issue of Open University student magazine Modulair.
