portrait of a CIA guy I saw in a VPRO documentary about the Iraq war. My version of him somehow resembles dutch soccer coach Louis van Gaal.

I did a drawing of Mr. Mulisch once before, which you can find here.

I did some digital manipulation after I drew this but decided I liked the original better, so there.

For those who watched: I tried to capture the look on the face of Ronella’s dad when Frans compared sorting through the letters [and photos!] of the ‘contestants’ with visiting a meat market.

Just type “kapsalon snack” into Google when you’re curious. A Rotterdam invention that can be found in Amsterdam too now!

I used to go drawing in the reading room in the central library in Amsterdam. The library moved to a new building which is great, but hasn’t yet proved to be a nice place to draw, so that seems to be the end of my in the library series.
However, I’ve been reserving an afternoon each week for sketching on location for some time so there will be more work of this kind, this time in a series called Steady Sketchin’.
