Nobrow's Flickr competition

This is my submission for the Nobrow Flickr competition called "People I've never met & Conversations I've never had". Nobrow has quickly become one of the finest publishers of illustrations and graphic arts and I make it no secret I would do almost anything to become one of their contributors. So making a simple but elegant dyptich is a good start...

Illustrated website

Whoops, it's been a month since my last post... Well, maybe that's because I'm working on some rather big commissions that take more than a few months to finish. So I'm not sure if I'm allowed to show you this, but I like to do it anyway.
This illustration is one of five, no... six... or maybe eight illustrations for an interactive website that wants to inform adopted children about adoption, where they come from, their feelings... There are a few games (this piece is one of them) and some interactive pages.
I'm doing all the illustrations with a graphic tablet because it makes things easier for the poor guy who has to program everything in Flash. I'm not a huge of vector illustrations and Adobe Illustrator, so I used Photoshop instead, dozens of layers and some downloaded brushes.
I teamed up with graphic designer Balder from De Barbaren and Frederik, a Figure8 computer wizard, and it's been great fun since day 1!

Happy climate change, everybody!

Trapped rat

"In de muizenval zat een enorme, harige rat van wel dertig centimeter lang. Ze was bruin en smerig en aan haar poten zaten lange, scherpe nagels. Haar kop zat vast onder de neergeklapte metalen klep, maar ze was zo groot dat de val ze niet had gedood. Ze lag op haar zij. Ze hield haar ogen wijd opengesperd en spartelde. De snorharen naast haar stompe neus bewogen op en neer en haar oren draaiden alle richtingen uit. Haar ene achterpoot trok ongecontroleerd, als in een stuiptrekking. De nagels krasten over het beton van de vloer." - In de Val, Tine Mortier
