Meet the wildest crew in my shop! 💚
If this s Meet the wildest crew in my shop! 💚
If this scene looks familiar, it might be because you’ve met this fearless family in ‘Een kleintje erbij’, my children’s book about the beautiful chaos of welcoming a new sibling.
This is the toughest animal family on the block, sharp teeth, big hearts, and a serious talent for turning everyday moments into wild adventures. 
Perfect for the boldest kids and the bravest bedrooms, because every adventurer deserves a bedtime bodyguard squad.💪🏻
Available in the webshop. Just... maybe don’t wiggle your toes too close. 😬

I’m grateful my hand‑drawn work is part of their carefully chosen Kids Collection, adding a splash of personality to little rooms, one tile at a time.❤️

Creativity on the loose!🙌🏻 One of my favorit Creativity on the loose!🙌🏻
One of my favorite ways to keep my creative flow flowing is to take little detours into new materials or mediums.
It’s like giving my brain a playdate with curiosity. ✨
(No grown-up rules, just messy, joyful exploration.)
As a proud perfectionist, trying something new can feel… mildly terrifying. But honestly? That’s where the magic sneaks in. New things = new surprises = fresh sparks of inspiration. ✨
A few years ago I tiptoed into the world of ceramics, and now I’m officially hooked on turning my 2D illustrations (and daydreams) into squishy, muddy 3D clay creations. There’s something wildly satisfying about seeing my doodles come to life, even if they come out a little wobbly.
How do you keep your creativity flowing?
Do you try new tools, switch styles, or just follow the weird ideas wherever they lead?

I’m head over heels for illustrating animals, qu I’m head over heels for illustrating animals, quite literally, in this case!
This upside-down pajama monkey is part of a lifelong love affair that started when I was a kid, completely obsessed with a how-to-draw-animals book. Animals were my favorite subject then… and still are. Sorry humans, but you just don’t have that same irresistible charm.

There’s something about animals, they have this magical way of connecting with everyone.🐒

PS: This happy, bendy, upside-down monkey in pyjamas is now available as a birth announcement card at @studiobydiede !

AI made vs Human made… Let’s talk about illus AI made vs Human made…

Let’s talk about illustration. Real illustration. The kind made by humans with messy desks, wild ideas, and way too many art supplies.

AI-generated art is popping up more and more. It’s fast. It’s flashy. But let’s be real, it’s not the same. I’m not writing this because I feel threatened (I’m too busy drawing for that). I’m writing it because something feels off.

AI “creates” by remixing what humans have already made. It’s like giving it red, yellow, and blue paint and watching it mix until everything turns brown. At some point, without new human ideas, it all starts to look the same. No spark. No soul.👎🏻

Here’s what you won’t find in AI art:
💛Years of study and evolving a personal style
💛 Real-world experience, what works, what doesn’t, and why.
💛 Emotions and life lived 
💛 Copyright (yes, that’s a thing and yes, it matters)
💛 A genuinely original idea
💛 Passion. The kind you can feel through the paper.

AI doesn’t dream of art. But humans do. Every real creation is someone’s dream, someone’s story, someone’s time. That’s worth protecting.

So if you can choose between a soul and a shortcut, why settle for the shortcut? I’m curious… how do you feel about AI-generated creations?

Flip with me!✨ Our new book Vleertje Muis en het Flip with me!✨
Our new book Vleertje Muis en het Gaapconcert is here and I couldn’t be prouder! Honestly, I feel like I’m really getting to know Vleertje’s dreamy little world, and it’s been such a joy (and a giggle) to pour that into the illustrations.

Illustrating children’s books has been a dream since I was a kid myself, the kind who spent more time doodling in the margins than doing actual homework. Now, with every new book, I feel more in the flow, a bit braver, and a little less tangled in perfectionism. (Though yes, I still wrestle with my eraser more than I care to admit.)✏️

Playing with different materials, textures, and moods to find just the right atmosphere is one of my favorite parts – messy hands, happy heart. 💛✨

So… want a sneak peek? Let’s flip through it together, no spoilers, just some cozy vibes and sleepy smiles. I’d love to hear what you think!
