Society of Illustrators silver medal

Good news!

The Society of Illustrators, once a year hands out one gold and two silver medals in the Original Art competition. This year, The Dog that Nino didn't had was awarded with a silver medal.
Next to the medals, there is also an annual exhibition, displaid at the Museum of American Illustration in New York. It runs from october 28 till december 23.

RED, the book by my colleague Jan De Kinder is also selected to take part in this show.

I got my first Kirkus review!  

The English version of The Dog that Nino didn't have has got his first review.

The English (Eerdman books, Grans Rapids, Michigan) translation of 'Het hondje dat Nino niet had' will be published on October 8th!

I'm excited and honored to announce that the French translation of our book 'Het Het hondje dat Nino niet had' has won the Prix Sorcières 2015 in the category Album! 

Many thanks to Marie Hooghe, who did the translation ands to our publisher Didier Jeunesse.

And there is even more news: 

I finally received the Chinese and German translation of Nino! 

Both versions look great. It's nice to see the contrast  between the Chinese characters and my illustrations.

The Chinese version is getting beaten by the German though...Annabel Lammers of Bohem Press did a remarkable job! Especially because of the type on the cover and the slightly bigger format. 

Specks

Belgian Psych band and friends Bed Rugs asked me to do the artwork for Specks. Their first video and single of the forthcoming album Cycle.

You should definitely check them out!!
