Realized I never posted this piece from last year. It was for a project and inspired by the #Simurgh. A mythical bird from Persian mythology. Said to be as old as time, the Simurgh raised heroes, healed the sick. My take on a timeless legend. 🕊✨ #Shahnameh #Illustration

The Spaniards are coming! Hopefully a new project 🤞🏻 but at least it is good practice for the 500 episodes about the 80 years war with History Of The Netherlands podcast 😅 #80jarigeoorlog #1573 #tachtigjarigeoorlog #80yearswar #8oktober #alkmaarontzet #vierdevictorie #alkmaar #alkmaarsontzet

I thought I would do a quick drawing for the 8th of October (#alkmaar victory 1573) But it became a big sketch. It’s about the storming of the walls by the Spanish on the 18th of September #1573 Hope to get it done before the 8th. 🤞🏻  #tachtigjarigeoorlog #80yearswar #8oktober

8th of October #1573 is the day that the city of Alkmaar defeated the Spanish army in the #80yearswar. My cartoon shows Sept 18: Kitman’s heroic strike on the Spanish standard-bearer 💪 #80YearsWar #AlkmaarOntzet #History #ThisDayInHistory #TodayInHistory #OnThisDay

A new history of NL art. In the 15th century, while most of Europe was tightening the grip of feudal lords, the Frisians were out here living their best “no lord but the Emperor” life. ✊ …and how it ended. A follow-up to Episode 15 👀 #cartoon #history #characterillustration

My employer went out of business last month. 😢 Using the time for side projects, studying… and a new path: drawing gag comics! Turning the job-hunt misery into 3-4 panel stories. #cartoon #jobhunt #comic #layoff

Loosing your job is one thing. But having to tell your family is next level. Let’s just say, reactions vary from person to person. #cartoon #jobhunting #comic #layoff #family

I’m going full freelance! First project kicks off next Monday, how cool is that?! 🎉 Huge thanks to everyone who helped me the past weeks. You’re amazing ❤️ Need a frontend/TypeScript dev? DMs are open, let’s talk! #cartoon #comic #freelancer #frontend #typescript #freelancelife

All by myself... [Celine Dion vibes] As a freelancer, I'm my own team most days. But last week? Epic dinner with former #colleagues. Solo gig, but blessed with amazing work #friends who still make time to catch up. ❤️ #freelancelife #frontenddeveloper #dinnerwithfriends #comic

Happy holidays, everyone! Every year my daughters and I design it together — they demand to be on it, but veto anything too sugary. So we spend all Summer scheming ways they can get every single present from Santa themselves. Classic. #cartoon #comic #familytime #christmas

I’ve never been big on New Year’s resolutions, but something about 2026 genuinely feels like a clean slate, now that I stepped into full-time freelance development. Here’s to hoping #2026 brings more code that ships more comics of random developer stories. #Illustration #Comics
