  1. 2 Dribbble invites ready to pick up! 2 Dribbble invites ready to pick up! So, I've been sitting on these two invites, and I thought it time to spread the love! Let's do this! TWEET me your portfolio!
  2. Ready to launch? Ready to launch? As I've mentioned before; I love going from 0-100 FAST. For speed, simplicity is key. Get a good message, shoot it out to the target audience. The words "launch campaign" immediately triggered this idea, and 30 minutes later... lift-off! Whilst this idea might not be as original as the "WE CAN'T HIRE YOU" page, it got the job done: it provided us a solid percentage of leads, that converted i...
  3. Headshot podcast logo Headshot podcast logo My buddy told me he was going to do a podcast for Press Start, and that they were gonna call it "HEADSHOT PODCAST". My caffeinated brain immediately envisioned a microphone getting popped in the noggin'. An hour or so later, I told him "I might have a logo for ya". Rest is history! Podcast can be found right here: http://press-start.com.au/category/podcast-2/headshot-podcast/
  4. Moooo Moooo Animals drawn for an iPad app for kids, by a bank! Hence the Euro coin :) It literally is what you think; tap the animal and it makes its sound. Oh the memories ;)
  5. WE CAN'T HIRE YOU WE CAN'T HIRE YOU Question: Did I make you look? What happens on a whiteboard, doesn't always STAY on a whiteboard. What you're looking at is the header of a campaign dedicated to a recruitment related product. We have a very, very small team. Currently, I'm a designer, copywriter, front-end developer for a pretty big corporate. We build and maintain several apps for the dental industry, built over the past 1...
  6. Darkest Dungeon - Dolphin Chemist Darkest Dungeon - Dolphin Chemist I am involved in a lot of Twitch communities, and occasionally do some art for random streamers that I'm watching. Today, a user called DolphinChemist was streaming Darkest Dungeon. During the stream, he shouted "SOMEONE DRAW AN ELDRITCH DOLPHIN CHEMIST!" I thought that idea was hilarious, and thought I'd give it a go. Basically, this is just an attempt to copy the style of this game, since ...
  7. Vegemite - I suppose it's easier than licking a tyre? Vegemite - I suppose it's easier than licking a tyre? As a Dutch guy living in Australia, I get asked about my opinion on this stuff far too often. So... ... there it is. .edit: excuse the re-upload, due to nasty background going-ons I felt like it was a blemish on my otherwise orgasmic portfolio. (harharrharrr)
  8. Did I mention... I work in Dental? Did I mention... I work in Dental? Messing around creating some toothpaste. This is one of those in-between thingies. Where you're not sure whether you're doodling or design the next ad campaign for the company. I do a ton of these. They're great to get some quick inspiration out when you're having a slow, dragging Monday. Or a fast one. Any time really. .edit: a hundred internet ego points to whomever knows the font.
  9. Confession: I never used Illustrator, even for line-art. Confession: I never used Illustrator, even for line-art. Popped into Illustrator to do some quick mockups for icons. It's amazing how often we've been able to use the actual mockups for projects lately. This is looking like it'll be one of those times. Related; I love drawing in Illustrator. I've used Photoshop for 95% of the drawing I've done in both my professional life and personal life. (The other 5% is MS Paint) This will change now though. Il...
  10. Retirement jar Retirement jar "Let us fund your retirement". Ad campaign scribbled with a thick, cheap felt tip, on a green post-it note. The artwork is far from flawless, but we turned it into an ad anyway, and the sketchy feeling ended up working quite well with the rest of the (very simple) branding. The slogan relates to how we help dentists sell their practice - and how we help dentists *find* the practice that will ...
  11. Least interesting charts you'll see today. Least interesting charts you'll see today. These will quite possibly be the least exciting charts you'll see today, maybe even this week. So why are they here? Some of the work we do isn't sexy. It's not flashy, no sweet animations and doesn't have exciting new colour combinations. Instead, it fits in with older (legacy) applications and just gets the point across. There's Arial. Simple flat shapes. No fancy effects. Heck, this could...
  12. Happy days! Happy days! Sketch for Canvas-based in-browser RPG. His name's Happy (... no lie!)
