De Correspondent celebrated their 5 year anniversary with a book called 'Dit was het nieuws niet' and published four excerpts from it online. Had so much fun with these quickies because 1: it's for my favourite journalistic platform. 2: I could go abstract, yay! 3: Series, I love love love making series. 4: I could decide on the colours 5: Landscapes! 6: They asked me for monochrome images. I was kind of nervous about this as I get a kick out of colour combinations, but it was a nice challenge! And it makes for less decisions which comes in handy because 7: I needed to make these illustrations extra mega super fast. So I couldn't do anything but work guided by intuition instead of elaborate sketches. Working with just an idea makes room for spontaneity and a more fun making process. So; I had a blast!
