26. © Bebe custom made canvas: Maddie Magic Wings


Bebe and his two little sisters Bibi and Soupy are at the beach, all the sudden they see an 'Arkefly' airplane in the sky and a cute little lady who's hanging right under the plane holding an umbrella.
They are amazed by what they see, who's that funny lady in the sky? and then when they look closer, they see her suitcase has little wings...it must be magic!
and that's right! It's Maddie Magic Wings!!!



"Maddie Magic Wings" is a Bebe custom made that was ordered by a dear friend of mine named Madeleine.
She ordered this painting to hang in her new apartment and requested a painting based on her.
After her request I've started to brainstorm about how I could make the painting about her in a funny way.
She recently started her new job as stewardess for airline company 'Arkefly', with that in mind and her funny bubbly personality, I came up with an idea how to combine these two things.

31. Introduction to the complete Bebe and Friends Family

The past few weeks I've been busy updating the entire Bebe and Friends Blog spot, I hope ya'll like the new illustrations and artwork so far and there's much more new Bebe and Friends artwork, designs, products and plans on it's way!


Bebe, the main character of "Bebe and Friends", was created in 2007.
I was inspired by my boyfriend (now husband) Marlo and created a toddler version based on him, that's how Bebe came to live. Soon after that Bebe's little sister Bibi, their adopted little sister Soupy and Bebe's best friend Hank joined, a little later Bebe's girlfriend Lizzy also came into the picture.

In 2008 the friends met Onterto, a little green Onster. Onsters are little Monsters without the M but instead of Monsters they are cute, petite creatures with a shy nature. They live between our walls, where they have their own Onster World. It's very rare for an Onster to show themselves to us, human beings...let alone befriend humans. Therefore Onterto and his family are an exception and are considered part of Bebe's family since 2008.

A year later, Bibi and Soupy's friend; Pipi, became part of the group as well, not long after that Konterto, Onterto's younger cousin, followed.
Then, Bertie, Pipi's cousin, also joined along with little Sophie who just recently moved to the neighborhood in 2010.
Last but not least, Little Dribby and his stuffed animal friend Little Bow that never leaves his side, family of both Onterto and Konterto, made the "Bebe and Friends" family complete.
Except for Bertie, who lives an hour away, all the little friends live on the same block.

These 8 kids and 3 Onster kids, along with Bebe's parents and their pets; Woof Woof and Tjilpy are the complete "Bebe and Friends" family, that will be the permanent faces of the Bebe and Friends line that includes the website, future webshop, artwork, illustrations, canvas series, wooden children's room decorations, wishingcards, future books and much more!

The first character of the Bebe and Friends line, ever created!
Of course it's Bebe! Bebe is a happy joyful 5 year old toddler who puts a smile on everyone's face!
Bebe lives in a city named 'Zaandam'  in the northern part of Holland.
Bebe and his family live in a cute typical Zaans house by the water on a dike.
He loves watching the boats sail by from his bedroom window and likes to dress up as a pirate or sailor with his best friend Hank. 
Bebe is an active little boy, he loves the outdoors but also enjoys family time at the house.
He is a very protective of his little sisters and although he and Hank like to tease the lil girls all the time, anyone

33. © Bebe custom made canvas: Baby Marlinde

 This medium Bebe custom made was ordered for a newborn named Marlinde.
The customer who ordered this super cute and girly painting asked me to use the same frame as the frame of the announcement card and to have the newborn's name and birthdate painted on the canvas.
On the canvas there's an illustration of little Bibi having fun in the bath tub with her little friends Tjilpy the baby chicken and Woof Woof the dog.
I used most of the card's original colors and picked girly pastel colors for the illustration to make it one matching piece.
This Bebe custom made is a combination of the Bebe children's illustrations and the frame and flower details of the Birth announcement card.

The customer who ordered this cute painting wanted to have the little guy that was on the birth announcement card and the newborn's name and birthdate painted on the canvas.
To make it a combination, I had Bebe meeting the little guy painted on the canvas.

I used most of the card's original colors for this painting and to give it a peaceful and calm look I had the sides painted as if its a wooden frame.

35. © Bebe custom made canvas: teacher José

The Holland theme is very populair lately!
This Bebe custom made canvas was created for my mom, a teacher at a very special middle school.
The school she teaches at, offers education for foreign students to prepare them on going to either a normal Dutch middle school and older kids to go to a normal Dutch highschool.
These foreign students are coming from all over the world, but mainly from third world countries.

My mom wanted a Dutch Bebe canvas for in her classroom.
I used some typical Dutch elements for this painting, such as; a wooden clog, a windmill, the Dutch flag, a cow as how we know them here in Holland; white with black spots, a milk girl and tulips.

I also recently sold a Dutch themed Bebe custom made for one of my mom's ex colleague, who recently moved to Curacao, to teach there.
She also want something typically Dutch for in her classroom, to show to her students.

36. © Bebe custom made canvas: Baby Tom


Newborn custom made's are probably the most requested custom made orders I've been getting lately.
Sometimes customers are asking me to create a combination of my own Bebe illustration and the illustrations of a birth announcement card, but a lot of customers are also asking for something completely unique, especially created for the people they are giving the custom made to.
Customers are always very welcome to give me guidelines of what they would like to see back in the painting I create for them, they can request a special theme, elements or colors.
The customer whom requested this painting had requested a "Holland" theme, because the people she bought this painting for, love everything Holland and named their newborn Tom, which is also a typically Dutch name.

I used some typical Dutch elements for this painting, such as; a wooden clog, a Zaans house(a typical Dutch style in North-Holland) a windmill, the Dutch flag, cheese and the royal color orange. I also had the name Tom shown on the painting.
Plus I had a little babyboy created who of course stands for the newborn Tom with a typical Dutch appearance, little orange freckles, orange/blond hair and white skin.

38. I am back! --- a little note from the Bebe and friends creator



Hello everyone!

I am back!
First off, thanks for all of your patience while I was gone and for staying a true fan to Bebe and friends, its very much appreciated!
The past months I have been busy recovering from the accident.
As of right now, I am unfortunitly still not fully recovered but that was expected.
The doctors had told me right from the start that badly bruised bones can take up over a year to heal and my kneecap might always stay a weak bodypart due to the accident, not fun to hear such news of course, no fun to have a leg that's always hurting, no fun to go through a recovery process that seems to take forever BUT it couldve always been worse, you gotta always stay positive and look at life from the bright side!
So I might not be able to bike yet, I might not be able to run yet...but I am able to walk again and I AM able to create my art again..very very important and a lot of fun! :)

And...I am also able to go on my honeymoon soon! YES I got married this past month on july 3rd and it was awesome, I even made dancing with one crutch work on my wedding party, you gotta work with what you have!
I had an amazing wedding, my best friends from America flew over especially for me to be my bridesmaid and maid of honor, which was amazing!
My amazing parents gave us the best day of our lives, without their help this wedding would still be something just to dream about!
All of our amazing family,friends and coworkers came out to celebrate this wonderful day with us and for us!
Overall it was amazing and my husband made it even amazingly amazing!

I've designed our wedding invitation, its shown on the left top of this post.
I designed the invite with my WACOM Bamboo tablet and it's me and the hubby sitting on the top of a hill drawn in Bebe style!
The timeline next to it shows the most important years in our relationship!
and for all the Bebe and friends fans...luckily I met this guy back in 1998 because when I wouldve never met him, we wouldve never met AGAIN and become a couple and I wouldve never got inspired to create BEBE!

My daily life right now still includes recovery training but luckily not as much as the past months and I have enough time and energy again to focus on my artwork.
Oh I do have to split my time and energy in four though cause besides working on my art, doing household activities, spending quality time with the hubby...I ALSO have a puppychild that needs lots and lots of attention!

39. I am still here! --- a little note from the Bebe and friends creator


Dear readers,

You have probably already noticed that I haven't been posting for the past 2,5 months and I am so sorry about that.
The thing is, I havent been able to create my art due to an accident I had on the 22nd of december 2009.
I got into an accident because of very bad and snowy weather, which caused me a damaged kneecap and badly bruised bones in my left leg.
I have been in and out the hospital for the past months and have spended my days mainly in bed resting my leg =[
As of right now I slowly seem to recover, I am still on crutches and it still hurts but I am hoping to be fully off my crutches around mid-april.
I have to go back to the hospital this friday, so then I will also find out more on my physiotherapy program and hopefully will be the old me and back on me feet soon!
So don't think I have forgotten all about running this blog, ofcourse I havent!
Bebe and friends are a big part of my life and I have been working so hard the past years to bring my art to a higher level.
I am still selling my paintings in the private sector and have almost finished up the first full stock for the official webshop...so as a matter of fact, I hope to get back to that within the next couple of weeks and my goal is to launch the webshop before summer starts!
I also have been working on various other children's art products and services such as card designs to expand the Bebe collection and develop my talent and besides selling, I am also looking into exhebitions and such...so lots and lots to do and to work for in the future!

Stay tuned for more, I hope to be back healthy and with new creations soon!

<3
Jasmijn

Now that the first two canvas series for the Bebe webshop are finished, it's time to finish up the third series, the "Bebe and friends canvas series".
"Sleep over" was the first piece of this series and "Little sailor" is the second one.

Look at Bebe's cozy and colorful room, Bebe is very proud of his room and calls it his big boy room.
His favorite Disney characters; Phineas en Ferb are hanging on the wall and he also has a big boy's desk where he can make his homework on...but of course Bebe knows much more fun things to do than homework.
Bebe loves boats, his dad made him a real boat bed, how cool is that? Every five year old boy would want a bed like that right?
Bebe and Hank's favorite game is playing sailor and pretending they are far far far away on the sea, and sailing from one adventure into the other.
Bebe even has a real sailors outfit!

This is the very last piece of the "Bebe goes on World Tour" 2009 canvas series...I am ending this wonderful worldseries with the country I've also started with: my homecountry Holland!
I've combined some illustrations of the first Holland piece with totally new illustrations.

You'll see the following famous Holland features in the painting:

1. The cute Zaans house: Zaanstad is a municipality in Holland , in the province of North-Holland. Its main town is Zaandam. It is part of the metropolitan area of Amsterdam. Zaanstad is famous for it's beautiful old Holland scenery, such as windmills, canals, dikes but also the cute green houses named Zaanse houses.
(Bebe and his family also live in one of these cute houses, you can see it in the painting...Bebe loves his home, it's right on a dike by the water and he loves to sit by the windown and watch the boats go by.)

2. the real holland symbol: the clog or also known as the wooden shoe.
The traditional all-wooden Dutch clogs have been a real famous feature of Holland. Despite the fact that most Dutch no longer wear clogs for everyday use, clogs remain popular by people working in their gardens, farms and by planters. Today, Dutch clogs are primarily a beloved tourist souvenir.
(Mommy is driving Bibi and Soupy around town in this funny wooden shoe vehicle and Hank is wearing his brand new wooden shoes)

3. Souses herring, also called Holland's newest: The word 'soused' usually means 'soaked in a mild preserving liquid', and can be used to refer to raw herring in a mild vinegar pickle or the famous Dutch brined herring. The soused herring is an especially mild salt herring, which is made from young immature herrings.
The process of preparing herring (known as "gibbing") was developed in the Middle Ages by the Dutch.
Herrings are caught between the end of May and the beginning of July in the North Sea near Denmark or Norway, before the breeding season starts.
Dutch people love to eat the herring as a snack and eat it with bare hands, picking it up by the herring it's tail...
(The way Hank is eating his herring in the painting, is the way to do it in Holland!
Are you also getting hungry for a herring, go to Bebe and Lizzy's very own fish stand, they sell herrings and also other yummy fishy's.)

4. the delicous Dutch cheese
(in mommy's bag, she just got back from the market with the kids)

5. the pretty colorful tulips

(Bibi just got these from her mom's garden and wants to give them to Hank)

6. the royal color Orange

(Mom is wearing a bright orange dress specially for this Holland painting, Bebe and Lizzy have an orange ceiling in their fish stand.)

48. © Bebe goes on World Tour: America 2


This 9th piece of the "Bebe goes on World Tour" 2009 canvas series might seem familiar to you and that's right because it's a 2nd version of the America world piece.
Because a lot of people have already been asking about the America piece, I've decided to make a copy of it.
Of course I did change some details, because the Bebe canvas paintings are known for their orginality and I never give my customers the exact same painting because I want everyone to have an unique painting.

This first America piece was made on a 40 x 40 3D canvas (large), this one was made on the standard Bebe canvas format of 3o x 30.

In this item Bebe and his little friends are visiting my favorite country and 2nd home: The United States of America.

Of course I've added a couple of fun & famous aspects of the country to this canvas:
1. The White house: the official residence and principal workplace of the president of the United States, located in the capitol Washington D.C
(our little friends are posing in front of this beautiful monumental building)

2. The American symbol: the American Eagle
(Woof Woof is enjoying his wonderful view from high above the sky, thanks to the Eagle who's giving him a private tour with Tjilpy on his head)

3. The statue of Liberty: a monument that was presented by the people of France to the United States of America in 1886 to celebrate its centennial. It's standing on Liberty Island in New York Harbor and welcomes visitors, immigrants and returning Americans traveling by ship.
(Bebe is dressed up as the statue of Liberty including crown and torch)

4. American cheerleading: a sport that uses organized routines from elements of tumbling, dance, jumps, cheers and stunting to direct spectators of events to cheer on team sports at games and matches or to compete at cheerleading competitions.
(Bibi and Soupy were extremely excited that they were chosen to be little cheerleaders for this occasion, cheerleading is the ultimate sport for girls!)

5. The all American sweets: cupcakes & icecream
(You'll see these yummy and colorful sweets in Bibi and Soupy's cute dresses)

6. American football: a competitive team sport known for combining strategy with physical play. The objective of the game is to score points by advancing the ball into the opposing team's end zone.
(Although Lizzy is a girl, she's tough enough to be an American footballplayer for one day)

7. The American Cheeseburger
(Hank didn't mind at all to pose with this giant cheeseburger, he didn't mind eating it after posing either, in fact he enjoyed it very very much)

49. © Bebe goes on World Tour: Italy


For this 8th piece of the "Bebe goes on World tour" 2009 canvas series, Bebe and his friends brought a visit to beautiful Italy.

During their trip in Italie, they've seen:
1. The tower of Pisa: is a freestanding bell tower, of the cathedral of the Italian city of Pisa.
(Bebe recognised the tower of Pisa right away when they arrived, not because he had been to Italy before but because one of his favorite games to play at home with his friends is also called the tower of Pisa. In this game you have to try to put as many little toypeople on the miniature wiggling tower, and keeping it from falling over. Bebe loves this game because he always wins.)

2. The famous city Venice: The Province of Venice (Provincia di Venezia) is a province in the Veneto region of the northern Italy. It's capital is the city of Venice.

3. The gondola: is a traditional, flat-bottomed Venetian rowing boat, well suited to the conditions of the Venetian Lagoon. For centuries gondolas were once the chief means of transportation and most common watercraft within Venice. In modern times the iconic boats still have a role in public transport in the city, serving as traghetti (ferries) over the Grand Canal.
The rower of the gondola is called a gondolier.
It's a honor to have this function en to get this job you have to pass quite a difficult exam, lots of people want this job.
(After a day of learning how to row and passing a real "Gondolier for one day" exam, Hank was allowed to row a gondola and brought little Bibi with him. Bibi is enjoying the beautiful view while Hank is doing the hard work.)

And they ate:

4. Spaghetti: Spaghetti is the plural form of the Italian word spaghetto, which is a diminutive of spago, meaning "thin string" or "twine". The word spaghetti can be literally translated as "little lines." Spaghetti is a long, thin cylindrical pasta of Italian origin. A variety of pasta dishes are based on it, from spaghetti with cheese and pepper or garlic and oil to a spaghetti with tomato, meat, and other sauces. Spaghetti is made of semoline or flour and water.
(Bebe and Lizzy are enjoying a delicious plate of spaghetti together, don't they look sweet together, they look just like Lady and tramp.)

5. Pizza: is a world-popular dish of Italian origin, made with an oven-baked, flat, generally round bread that is often cover
ed with tomatoes or a tomato-based sauce and cheese. Other toppings are added according to region, culture, or personal preference. Originating in a part of Italian cuisine , the dish has become popular in many different parts of the world.
(Soupy went to get fresh pizza's for everyone, she's waiting for everyone to arrive but it's taking so long, so she decided to already try a slice of this yummy Italian treat.)
