These training sessions are in addition to the typography that I studied during my diploma.
I also have many books on design and illutration that I’m currently in the process of reviewing.
Foundations of typography — hierarchy and navigation
Foundations of typography — working with grids
Foundations of typography — choosing and combining typefaces

I’ve decided to sell some merchandise online with Redbubble.com! Hopefully this will make the transition to full time illustrator a bit easier for me.
I do not believe in over consumption, so I will keep the products that I offer to a minimum. No rubbish. No junk.
The world just does not need any more crap ending up the ocean.
So at this stage, the shop will feature a selection of prints, greeting cards, t-shirts, spiral notebooks, ceramic mugs, travel mugs, draw-string bags and the odd wall clock.
In other words, I am only selling most of the paper-based stuff. I have very few plastic iphone cases and things like that. That way, at least I know it is biodegradeable and compostable.
I’m still about half way through my abstract/faces/people/animals project.
The next project will be… Australiana… starting with… gumleaves. One of my next door neighbours when I was growing up was a porcelain painter… Gladys Gilbert. She was always painting Australian flora and fauna from their many outback trips. Based on the river red gum, one of the tallest/biggest Australian eucalyptus trees. Not a great or detailed sketch, a bit harder with digital than pencil.
This is a limited edition series of 72 abstract faces/animals. Originally I was going to make either 84, 96 or even 100 works. But I found it is better to cull some of the worst ones. So you will only ever get to see either 36, 48, 64 or 72 (I haven’t decided yet).
I’m signing this as “van den hooven”, after my grandparents.
