Ruud

Thursday, July 14th, 2011

I wish my manager Ruud a very happy early retirement!

The first drawing was given as a gift at his retirement party at the office today. It is Ruud and his wife Marjan in their own backyard. Don’t ask me why they’re in the pond! Somehow, they just ended up in there…

I made the second drawing as a price for the “Who knows Ruud best” quiz at the barbeque later that night, however the winner of the quiz gave the drawing to Ruud’s wife! Now they’re stuck with two of my drawings… ;-)
Also, we made a mini-movie about the adventures of Ruud as “Fred van HetNet”, see RuudHoekstra.nl (Dutch).

Ruud en Marjan, geniet ervan!

Musicmaker

First off, congratulations to my niece Ella-Milou for completing her internship at Musicmaker. She wrote some great articles for the magazine and on this blog.
I made this drawing for her, to give to her mentor Patrick. Yes, that’s the Musicmaker logo I put on his guitar… and yes, that’s a reference to a dutch commercial on his t-shirt… apparently Patrick can’t stop singing that catchy tune…

GrunnenRocks 15 years

At the 15-year anniversary of his website http://www.grunnenrocks.nl I gave Evert this illustration. Although I spent 3 hours drawing all the albums, he later told me that his collection mostly contains singles… Thanks Evert, that would have saved me 50% of my time… (kidding!!!! ;-) Congratulations with 15 years of garage rock!)

Bob received his framed personal illustration at his going away party. It was given to him by our manager. He was quite pleased with it!
