Book Talks

Following up on the Literary Prize for Prose campaign I illustrated back in 2016, the province of West-Flanders asked me to make a new campaign illustration for their 2017 Book Talk sessions. This is an event in which the winning authors of the literary prize will talk about their books in a selection of bookstores.

While the campaign needed to have a direct visual link to the previous one, it also needed to have an independent and recognizable visual element that could be used on a series of posters, on bookmarks, invitations, banners, advertisements and shop street signs.

I decided to continue the forest theme I used in the previous campaign, as a way to illustrate the power of immersion that good storytelling can carry, be it through the author talking about his book, or by reading the actual thing.

Hi! I am a Belgian illustrator and visual artist, currently living and working in the alpine mountains of Italy.

I make illustrations for books, prints, editorials and campaigns for a variety of international clients, and always welcome new challenges.

When I'm not in my atelier, you can find me swapping my shoes for a pair of sturdy boots, either contemplating this year’s garden experiments, or hiking in the mountains while stuffing my pockets with all kinds of wild edibles.

I‘m represented worldwide by my agent Folio. For commissions outside of Belgium or the Netherlands, please get in touch with them at info@folioart.co.uk or +44 (0)20 7242 9562
