Japanese calligraphy

Recently I've finished the course of Japanese calligraphy at Shofukan centrum in Rotterdam and this is my final work.
The hieroglyphic symbol on this work means "beauty".
The colofon and the stamp are made by our instructor of calligraphy, Owen Tjon Sie Fat.

Ink drawings

Some recent drawings made with black East-Indian ink.

Children's illustration

Here is one of my recent children's illustration made with ink and deep watercolors.

Sport illustrations

Recent illustrations, which I've made using black Indian ink. Really enjoyed the medium, which allows to create a stronger sence of movement and other effects as well.
The illustrations have been made for "The Game Of The Goose" for the publication in the Runner's World Magazine in the January issue.
