Let the sun shine.... let the sun shine! / August 15, 2016 by Darja Brouwers

It definitely looked like the sun was playing hide and seek during the summer holidays in The Netherlands… So I couldn't resist drawing my request ; )
And yessss, it was worth waiting for: finally... today the sun radiates her beautiful energy!

I'll eat you up. I love you so! / July 25, 2016 by Darja Brouwers

When I saw Charles Freger’s picture of a Yōkai, I had to draw this beautiful creature.

Yōkai are a class of supernatural monsters, spirits and goblins in Japanese folklore. The word ‘yōkai’ means: bewitching, attractive, calamity, spectre, apparition, mystery.
Yōkai are ritual figures imagined by man and embodied during festivals and ceremonies as an attempt to tame the elements and find meaning in natural events.

When I finished this cute monster, it suddenly reminded me of the movie Where the wild things are directed by Spike Jonze. So I had to add ‘I’ll eat you up. I love you so!’ : )

Let's connect on Instagram! / July 8, 2016 by Darja Brouwers

A little while ago I started to share my illustrations, some sneakpeaks and work in progress on Instagram. (with a focus on illustration and sometimes some graphic design ingredients)
Still wondering why I didn't started earlier with this nice platform. ; )
So wouldn't it be nice if we connect on Instagram too? Let's share some nice pictures and beautiful stories with eachother!
