Pumkin Slaughter
An autumnal tradition most relished for its therapeutic capacity, not for the harvest. The little Tops only like pumpkin muffins. Guess they’ll go hungry then, for I plan to make a lot of pumpkin...

An Average Dream
Materials: watercolour stains, pencil (the really cool ones Saint Nicholas gave me – yay!), a little digital shadowing and highlighting and of course a digital background. I’ve made a...

Odins Eye
Top1 outdid himself with this gorgeous pendant. There’s even a hint of a tear (I think it is soldering residue of some sort, but ssst, “tear” sounds more magical).

By The Light Of A Candle
I’ve been practicing my drawing-from-life skills these past weeks and am very pleased with the progress I’ve made. Almost every evening, I sit at the dining room table, only lit by candles, and draw....

It Begins Here
The bulk of my writing last year was in Dutch. The main reason I wrote my novel in my mother tongue was that I was afraid I could not express myself fully in English. Another reason was that the story...
