COAT OF SMILES, parody art of iconic symbols. A duck's hat, a mouse's ears and a smiling yellow button. Three iconic things brought together in one artwork.

Duck People

In a narrow sense, I don't draw ducks but people with beaks.

Smokestack-Horn Winter Lizard

The extremely rare smokestack-horn winter lizard. The species is a little larger than a squirrel, it is only active at night and feeds itself primarily on gift wrapper leftovers, milk and cookies. It survives on its own stored fat during its extremely long hibernation from February to November.

Masterclass

Here are some bits from my live character design demo segment at Nemo Academy's Masterclass, last Tuesday. The character was created from scratch and became a mixture of a goat-ish dragon-dogbird, with a strong reference to Pablo Piccasso's 'She-Goat' sculpture and André Franquin's weird machinery designs.
