The Red Baron
Illustrating the shapes in black paper with an Exacto blade > scan them in Illustrator, vectorize them, make it a rough draft > importing the illustration in Indesign and use texture images instead of color…
The things you can do with the scraps from other illustrations… cut-outs > scan > vectorize in Illustrator > assemble and color in Photoshop. Illustrating never seizes to amaze me. The way an image gets born is a little miracle every time.
Net je laatste show gezien. Laatste volle zaal. Laatste applaus. Staand.

“One of the most amazing visual storytellers I’ve ever worked with. Incredibly talented. He is not only a great artist, but a wonderful human being. Very kind and generous, with a fantastic sense of humor.”
WOW! November 1st I learned I got the Marcom Gold Award for illustrations, an entry with illustrations I made/make for a very dear client, St. Bourke. This one is for Katie, Ben and Joel. Believing in what had to be was proven right. What a company St. Bourke has become! So proud to be part of that growth!
“His visual mastery truly amazes me.”

I started making this Time Map in 2020, Life is different now. Time travel is real. It runs on Passion and Patience. Love and Imagination. Perseverance and Creativity. We made it through…I dedicate this massive illustration (96” x 48”) to all who made it through the pandemic, but most of all to those who helped get us there. Love.
And I am proud to say it just won the 2022 Hermes Gold Award for Illustration!
“Magnificent. In awe of his talent.”

“Without a doubt the most creative person I have ever had the pleasure of working with. His ability to listen to the client and pull the ideas out of their mind… and to see him visualize those is an actual joy to watch.”
What the what?I really must like doing what I do. Deshein wins 2020 Marcom Platinum Award for Illustration and Graphic Design!

Now, I could write how hard my job is and what I had to do was so difficult… It wasn’t. It was one of the most fun series of illustrations I have done in a while. So I share this award with the client, Revolution Mercedes-Benz Specialists, and my buddy Joel Gould from carrot+stick with whom I rebranded Revolution in 2019/2020. What fun!!! I am so happily flabbergasted. Love!
