I created this for an alphabet book about nature. Each item illustrated begins with the letter s, to form a large letter S. (School of fish, squid, shrimp, sponge etc)

Satire for the Nu.nl news website, about an undersea oil spill of BP that took months to fix.

This is the newest version of an old version of an older version. I am happy with this outcome. I had always wanted to find a place for this whale in the undersea picture. Since it is all the way under the waves you will just have to imagine that little girls in pink bathing suits have a magical ability to breathe under water, but only when riding oversized seahorses.
The process for Gunther the Underwater Elephant is now in its third year. This won't come as a surprise to anyone else who writes and illustrates their own picture book. The process is twofold. The manuscript must be perfected and the illustrations must hit the mark with consistency and impact.
It began as watercolor and ink ideas.
I decided to refine the sketch and move the action away from us a bit, to show more of each character.
The first job was for me to define the areas so I could concentrate on who was where in this entanglement.
Then some color and shading on about 5 layers in Painter IX and X. I also made a change in the leg positions.
Finally I added some seaweed and darkened the sea a bit. The final will have text at the bottom and maybe a few more bubbles with more clarity.
I always wished I could work with watercolours. It must have taken years of practice to get this good. Wow.
Waw, it looks so elegant. There are some beautiful details going on in this painting! To end with an "s" it looks Sublime!! :D
