"Onsters in the air" is the newest illustration print design, for the Bebe and friends children's clothing & baby goodies line.
How cute will this print look on a toddlers hoodie or tee?
As explained in a earlier introduction, Onsters are little Monsters without the M and they live between the walls of our houses, where they have their very own Onster world.
They are the opposite of monsters, there's nothing scary about them....well unless they start screaming, when you scare them, they will scream at the top of their lungs, and believe me the sound coming out of their little mouths is so high and loud, that it might be a little frighting.
But other than that they are the cutest fluffiest creatures you will ever meet!
There's always something fun going on with the Onsters around, just like human toddlers, they are full of joy and energy.
In this print the little Onsters are taking a Balloon trip through the air.
This print also introduces Flinster, the purple Onster cousin of Onto, Coedy and little Dribby.
Bebe and friends children's clothing & baby goodies will include various products, such as; t-shirts, romper suits, baby caps, baby cloths, etc.
There will be different digital illustration prints to choose from.
All illustrations are unique and designed by me, as part of the Bebe and friends brand.
The prints are designed with a WACOM digital Bamboo tablet.
This print will be for used for products in this line and will be available in the upcoming official Bebe and friends web shop.
This custom made canvas was made for
Melissa Haynes, one of my best friends for over 10 years from the U.S.A, and Nick Manasse.
Melissa has recently moved to my home country The Netherlands to live with the love of her life; Nick.
For their intimate housewarming BBQ last weekend, I wanted to give them something special.
So I made them a custom made canvas board based on them and their new home and future together.
It's called; Melissa and Nick "Home Sweet Home"
On this canvas you see Melissa and Nick standing in front of their 'love nest', together with their two little doggies Taz and Chad. The American and Dutch flags are standing for, of course their nationalities, but also their backgrounds separately and their future together.
Melissa is wearing a key shaped necklace, one of the first gifts Nick gave her. The reason I painted the key is because it can also be a symbol for the key to his heart and the key to their new home.
Far up in the sky you see an air balloon with their names written on it, if you look closely you see little Bibi and Soupy in the balloon's basket. Of course these little two brats had to be in the canvas as well, since it's a Bebe custom made canvas :)
The friendship Melissa and I share, is like sisterhood.
Although we're not really blood relatives, we have grown like sisters do. We made up this nickname for what we are, years ago; Euromerican Sisters, which stands for European/American sisters but also when you say it fast, it sounds like "Ur my sister".
The funny and ironic thing about it is, that when I first moved to the States and met her, I never would've thought she would end up living here.
We met in high school, we're in the same cheer leading squad and lived in the same city, then when I moved back to Europe, we stayed in touch through phone and internet and I went back during the summer, to spend the summers with her at her parents house and later on at her own place.
Then in 2010 she came to visit me and my hubby Marlo for the summer and to be our maid of honor in our wedding, that's when she met Marlo's co worker/friend Nick and the two deeply fell in love...one year later she moved here and hubby and I are moving to the States around the end of 2012/start of 2013 through my hubby's job.
It's so ironic, but it doesn't matter where we are or what life brings, we will always be Euromerican sisters for life.
Marlo and I, are wishing both Melissa and Nick the best in their lives together and we hope all their dreams, goals and wishes for the future will come true and since their love story already kinda started off as a fairy tale, we hope they will live happily ever after just like fairy tale princes and princesses do
Bebe custom made canvas paintings are normally made on a standard format of 30x30 cm, because this format is currently hard to find, I've recently added the new size Large 30x40 cm as the new standard format (On request, I also make Bebe canvas paintings on a 3D format of 20x20 cm - small and 40x40 cm - extra large and flat canvas boards)
Bebe custom made canvas paintings are especially created for special events such as birthdays, newborns, anniversary's...You name it and I create it.
Bebe custom made's are unique lifetime gifts to give to family and friends.
All illustrations are unique, made with love and of high quality.
I use Decor Fun aqryl paint and Decor Fun highgloss varnish for all the paintings.
Every painting is finished with my signature.
As for right now, I take orders and sell Bebe custom made's in the private sector, once the Bebe webshop has opened I accept a limited amount of custom made's per month through the web shop.
This Bebe and friends clothing design, was custom made for my hubby Marlo for his birthday.
As I have mentioned in previous blogs, Bebe was actually based on Marlo and is a toddler version of him :)
Marlo loves funny designs and printed tee's and hoodies and he had been asking me for a custom made Bebe and friends design for ages, so I decided to surprise him with this "Bebe and friends Super Heroes" men's hoodie...and he loved it!
Bebe, Hank, Bibi, Soupy and even house pets Woof Woof and Tjilpy are secretly also Super Heroes...well now that you are reading this, it's not so secret anymore but sssttt they trust you to keep this
for yourself, while they are saving the world.
There will be different digital illustration prints to choose from.
All illustrations are unique and designed by me, as part of the Bebe and friends brand.
The prints are designed with a WACOM digital Bamboo tablet.This print will be for used for products in this line and will be available in the upcoming official Bebe and friends web shop.

Last year, on July 3rd 2010, I got married to my hubby Marlo, who's so much more than just my husband and I am very thankful to have found someone who's has made me complete.
I wanted to give him something special, for our 1 year wedding anniversary, this past Sunday july 3rd 2011.
Since I designed our wedding invite last year and created a print based on him and me, in Bebe style, I thought it would be funny to create another design based on him and me again, and I had this design printed on a men's hoodie.
This anniversary themed hoodie, portraits us two in Bebe style and even our little doggie Mimzy is part of the design.
J.Paauwe designs and Bebe and friends children's clothing & baby goodies will include various products, such as; t-shirts, romper suits, baby caps, baby cloths, etc.There will be different digital illustration prints to choose from.

This little blue house is actually a little Birds house, but it totally would rock any little boy's room.
Its the newest Bebe and friends product, added to the Bebe and friends collection; Bebe and friends children's room decorations.
The Bebe and friends children's room decorations, are cute hand made decorations and bright up every child's room.
They are unique gifts for any occasion and will put a smile on a child's face :)
This "Boys club house" is a super cute decoration for a boys room and can be placed anywhere.
There's also a Girls club house version in this line.
Not too long ago, daddy made Bibi and Soupy and their little girl friends, a beautiful pink girls clubhouse in the backyard and since the girls made their clubhouse "a girls only" house to have little tea parties at and to have real girls talk at, Bebe and his friends of course also wanted to have their very own boys clubhouse.
Daddy helped the boys build the house and now there are two little clubhouses in the backyard.
A pink one for the girls and a blue one for the boys.

Another super cute illustration print is added to the children's clothing and baby goodies line and will be part of the illustration prints collection to choose from, for customers.
This design is called "Super hero motor grandpa".
Bebe, Bibi and Soupy have a super cool grandpa and they think he's a motor cycle super hero.Grandpa's favorite hobby is riding his motorcycle, he goes on a lot of trips and every time when he come back, he tells his grandkids all about his adventures.Bebe and his sisters love their grandpa and his amazing adventure stories.Grandpa also told them a big secret...his motor is actually a robot...and a very smart one.When there's no one around it even talks to grandpa and they share jokes and laughs...and sometimes even a beer!Bebe, Bibi and Soupy insist they get to meet with grandpa's motor robot and now they finally get to make a little trip! They are super excited.First they want to have their picture taken with grandpa on the motor robot...and before they are actually taking off, they are all getting little helmets...because super hero grandpa and motor robot or not...safety comes first :)
"Super hero motor grandpa" is based on my father in law, who's a real motor fanatic.I thought it would be funny to create a design based on him, since Bebe is actually based on a toddler version of my husband.

As you have probably already noticed in previous canvas designs, the Bebe and friends kids really love some bath time fun! They love to make up stories and pretend that they are on big adventure trips somewhere in the ocean, while they are in bath. Sometimes they tend to forget they are actually in a bath tub that hardly fits all of them. These little girls are champions in making the bathroom one big mess and after every bath adventure, they leave an actual ocean for mommy to clean up.

Bebe and Hank helped him putting the parts together and mommy helped them paint the princess bed.

Wow a real princess bed!!! It kinda looks like the princess wagon from Cinderella! Bibi and Soupy are super proud of their new bed and because its still all new and oh so exciting, mommy is letting them staying up a little later tonight, so they can play in their princess bed.
