The ongoing battle against dust. I used to build entire tents for my large paintings so the varnish could dry undisturbed. It's much simpler with MtG cards; a plain food container will do👌

The original card vs my painted version 💜 #mtg #art #alter #painting

Finished! My very own design of Mari Lwyd on a Plague Mare MtG card. It was fun to get lost in the details. I love how colourful and festive this dark card has become. Now I have to find a deck for it 🤔 #MtG #alter #card #tcg

I punched too hard during Krav Maga class, and now I have a shaky arm. Putting on my eyeliner has never been such a challenge before.

Left inspired by the Duystere Markt in Eindhoven. Bought art from: ☠️ Blue Fern - Dice bag ☠️ Moira Ramones - Xmas cards ☠️ Zellgarm - MtG tokens ☠️ Mathea Art - bone necklace ☠️ Quia Absurdum - tshirt ☠️ Crimson Orchard - paint palette ☠️ Unknown - Moth girl sticker

Them boys are doing great 🍆. We cheated a little and bought grown plants this year, since we missed the window of starting our little seedlings ourselves 😭, but the end goal has been achieved: our balcony is the best place in our home again.

New sketch for a MtG alter. It only needs ribbons and then I'll transfer it and start my painting 😎 can't wait.

Reading House of Leaves by M. Danielewski. I had to share this page, thinking about how AI is corrupting credibility...

Got a tattoo of my cat Nima, who passed away years ago. Lieke (@thousand.yellow.cocoons on insta) did a great job capturing our little gremlin cat, I miss her so much 💜 #tattoo

My finished altered commission; before and after. Never look into deep space, it will melt your brain... Painted with Royal Talents Amsterdam acrylic paint and gold leaf #MtG #alter

Finally had some time to sit down and paint. Working on this commission and I'm so hyped I want to paint a second version for myself to keep 🤩 #MtG #MtGaltered

Every day I think about this passage

Dragged my ill ass out of bed to cast my vote and not 5 minutes later some older lady gets angry with me for giving money to a homeless guy. Out of spite I gave him even more money 😎People need to calm the fuck down. In any case; Dutchies go vote!

Just got back from Thundercat 💜 now I'm floating. Lots of gigs lately, igorrr, ulk, thundercat, I'm rediscovering music 🤘

London was amazing. Took no photos except at the Aardman exhibition 👍

No context

10/10 my anxiety-riddled mind was quiet

Quick paintings in between nature hikes 🤸

Humanity is a joke. Natuurmuseum Holterberg had a good sense of humour among the exhibits.

Revel in riches, b*tches 🤘. Need to check it in daylight, but this card is done! The original is on the left, and on the right is my painted version. Cheeky seagull #MtG #mtgaltered

An unexpected, but very welcome, early birthday gift 🥰 (my birthday is in July).

I made this sci-fi puppetry 60s pastiche. CGI, almost completely physics-animated. Love letter to things like Thunderbirds, Fireball XL5, Space Patrol, and watching foreign television only to lose it forever afterwards youtu.be/ME7SVM7bwKU?si=jUYR6APY28kPCUqk

Getting started on 2 new MtG cards. Blocked out the borders, base layer colour match and making plans for the extended art. This is fuuuun! #MtG #alters

5yrs?! In this economy?!

My 2nd border extension. Pretty stoked with the colour match on the left side, fucked up quite a few things on the right. After I finished this card I ran to the shops to get smaller brushes 😅 #MtG #Alters

Chuck Tingle has done it again 💜🌈

No New Year's lists or resolutions, 'cause I have no chill.

My very first MtG alter. I need to get myself some smaller brushes 😅 Windsor&Newton acrylics, 0.2 Staedtler liner #mtg #alter

DigiTales just released their reveal trailer for From Ruins and I've had the pleasure of working on the characters and animations :) Congrats everyone that worked hard to get the trailer out! 🥳 (also, wishlist on steam!)

Mail day 💜 dropped a whole stack of Christmas cards and an order from my shop 🙏

Boom, 75 baby! I love to see everyone's #spotifywrapped so many flavours of music, listen like no one is watching, you do you boo 💜💃

I really wanted to do a linocut. So, I've created this fun party (g)raveyard using several medieval woodcuts. Needs a few touch-ups and then it's ready to cut 🤘

Today, November 30th is 'Remembrance Day for Lost Species'. For the past months I've been working on a series that depict the 15 butterfly species lost to the Netherlands over the past 80 years 🦋 These are the first 12 🦋 www.lostspeciesday.org #lostspeciesday #watercolour #butterfly #melissahalley

'Tis the season... to stay indoors and read! This book was a pleasant surprise, I loved it. I would never have picked it up, but my book club made me read it. If you like humour and gore, this is your book. You'll learn 25 new creative ways to describe a dismembered testicle for example 👍

We have a department at work called the HU Grant Office and yes, I sent an email this week calling it the *Hugh Grant Office*, not noticing it until after I had sent it to a group of people...

Happy #godzilla day!

I loved this movie. I know all too well how impossible it is to have a conversation with a conspiracy theorist. And it is gut-wrenching to see someone lose touch with reality. Also loved the audible gasp in the theatre at the ending.

Cast my vote. Anxious for the results...

Please put me in close proximity to a fireplace (or the sea, for that matter) and I get -10 on stress levels.
