It's just amazing to see the books arrive at their new owners all accross the world. I never imagined there'd be a NoGood book when I started making bitcoin drawings five years ago. Couldn't have done it without your support, and the (very) early stage pre-orders 🙏 View quoted note →

I was on the podcast with the best cover art today 🤓 Where I rambled (I tried to make it a coherent story) about how I lost my love for drawing when I was a kid, and how I found it again years later, and how that that morphed into NoGood. I've been listening to @CITADEL DISPATCH for years, so it was an honor to be on the show. Thanks for having me on @ODELL ! 🙌 View quoted note →

Worked on the NoGood site a lot lately. I can now clip interesting articles, podcasts, random inspiration, or Korean music videos using Obsidians Webclipper, which then get automatically formatted and added to the site as Clippings. So, basically a feed of random stuff I find online 😅 Probably still needs more work, but tou can see it in action on the Now page.

Daniël, my friend, studio mate, and writer of The NoGood Book, wrote a blog about writing for someone who doesn't want to speak about his work all too much (me). I'm forever grateful to Daniël for tirelessly writing, rewriting and editing (and rewriting) my clunky first drafts, and forever jealous of his way with words.

A gentle introduction to my friend Thomas’s moniker, NoGood—an exercise in restraint, written through hours of conversation. The book is out now.

First podcast appearance! 🎙Had a great time chatting with @Sync and @Eric FJ 🪬⚡️ I was kinda nervous since I never really talk about my work or process in public, let alone English 😅 But Sync and Eric made it easy though. Would love to get better at it, and open up a bit more. View quoted note →

Process is priceless, and often invisible. I’ve long feared sharing it, assuming unfinished work wasn’t meant to be seen. I now know the process of getting to the finished work is as important as the end-product: if the rise of generative AI has shown me anything, it’s that a great illustration can’t be created without putting in the hours. It takes tremendous amounts of elbow grease.
