De Koffiejongens is a Dutch seller of coffee cups. They do many things differently. More digital. With a coffee subscription, for example….

Today I will do the finishing touch, placing my Mr. Upside signature. Later this week I hope to be able to bring it to Amsterdam and deliver it the customer, the KPN Backoffice division. KPN is one of the largest telecommunications providers of The Netherlands.

In March 2015 I left the UX design project I had been working on for almost a year, to spent more time on my art. To thank the KPN ‘Mobile Sales’ department for their trust and confidence in my abilities as a designer, I bought pastries. But the very last thing I expected was to walk out the door with a commission for a painting.

Finished and framed a new artwork. Had it drawn in white lines only before I decided to add some colours. Which, by the way, really popped out don’t you think? The whole thing came out quite busy so I’ll probably make the next one with less detail.

Artwork ‘City Colors 1’ is a colourful illustration on heavy paper in which bold black lining is combined with bright and vivid colours. It visualises a busy day in a large city.
