Pieter Boels

Cover for the literary section of a Belgian national newspaper. It's a quote by Cees Nooteboom, Dutch novelist and poet.

Yes, and that's what's wrong with the current mentality: to want everything for free. No sacrifice, no effort, no responsibility, just comfort and fun, immediately. Somebody's always paying the price, trust me. If you want something you can't make yourself, you buy it, not steal it.

Sure. And not everyone *has* to become a visual artist. This has always been the case. What's with the obsessive desire to HAVE to be able to do everything? If you really want to be an artist you'll find a way. I know several professional, successful illustrators who aren't *that* great at drawing.

Have a nice weekend y'all ✌🏼🤍

Sketching for a logo.

Creating intuitively, a bit like a free following musical jam. Curious to see where it takes me.

As someone who has made overthinking a semi-professional activity, I need occasional reminders to live in the moment. Designed these for myself but I've got a few extra made 🙂

€30 + shipping (unless you pick it up). Let me know if you want one, I've only got 3 left.

Reading it as we speak. Confronting at times, I find, to realise you're part of a ruthless system. But yeah, very insightful! Good to be aware of our role and power as designers.

Really happy with how this custom skate deck turned out.

Still got a few ones left for sale. Not for you if you're not into dad joke-ish humor!

I'll reshare some of the things here that I've posted on IG before, for a new audience. Because I like them and because I can't yet share what I'm working on currently.

This was used on posters during an anti-weapons fair protest in the Netherlands, late last year.

These never fail to amaze me. So much to look at! Stunning work 👌🏼

🔥🔥🔥

¡Me gustan estas formas! Y también el sombreado diminuto 👌🏼😁

Sketches for a funny TV show about dilemmas, on (French) Belgian television.

One of the things I miss from the olden days at Insta is the sense of community. So I'm going to start by posting more work in progress here. Constructive feedback welcome. 🙂

S/O to my fellow lettering artists!
