This girl wears a very interesting dress. Dots all over the place. Actually I am a little jealous of her red dress. I hope she wears matching shoes. Have a nice day everybody!

Tall John
It is springtime
Tall John is cleaning his house
Whistling a tune
He throws out all his winterstuff
Preparing for summer
tap tap art
When I made this collage it reminded me of a toy we had as children. You remember those geometric wooden shapes in bright colors that had a little hole in it? You could tap a nail through the hole to fasten the wood to a soft underground. You could make gorgeous mosaics.
By the way, this image is available as a signed Fine Art Giclée Print here. There are several sizes available.
birds
I found this drawing in a stack of paper in my studio. The birds may be part of a new story to come…
take the colorful road
Today my parents would have had their birthdays. My father would have turned 90 years old and my mother 93. They are still missed a lot. But today we also remember what they gave us. For instance they gave us a whole bunch of brothers and sisters with whom we can share life and memories. But they also gave us a way of looking at life like it is a colorful road, where there is a lot of interesting stuff and people to see and where stories are spread all over the place.
I am forever grateful for that. Thanks Mom and Dad!
birds in the morning
It is quiet in the house so early in the morning. I hear the birds sing. No, it is not singing, it sounds more like chattering:
‘How did you sleep, love?’
‘Quite well, actually. The cat of the neighbours scared the shit out of me only once this night.’
‘Good for you! Well, have a nice day, love!’
‘You too! Kiss, kiss!’
sometimes it is difficult to finish a project
In 1999 I wrote a small story that accompagnied a couple of sketches like the second one you see here. Over the years I have rewritten and redrawn this story time and time again. Two years ago I was sure it was finished and ready for publication.
However I am working on it again. In the 2019 version the second image is replaced with the first one.
It is time to wrap this baby up, Eyck!
youth for climate
Every Thursday children, students and other youth go on strike and walk the streets of several cities in Europe to ask the politicians to take fierce actions to save the planet.
I call that: working on your future. Go kids, go!
bubbling feelings
It’s raining and it so gray outside here in Leyden, The Netherlands. Well, I guess that’s what our little country is famous for: rain. Still, I am really looking forward to springtime. The smell of new flowers, the feeling of nature waking up. Of us waking up actually! Here is to that bubbling spring feelings!
