Happy newyear! Our artbook “Toekomst” sold really well at Comiket 77 in Tokyo in december, meaning our Japanese friends have sent us a package full of very cool Japanese artbooks as well as ten pieces of the Toekomst artbook. Yay!!

In the meantime I received a beautiful Christmas card from Vanillaware,  a Japanese game company famous with Odin Sphere and Muramasa.

George Kamitani of Vanillaware has actually drawn the main character of Hollandia for us which was a huge honour!! So finally we made a drawing for Vanillaware in return Together with Ward Lindhout I drew this picture of the girl with the pearl earring and Momohime (main character of Muramasa).
