My OCD-world

This one is for you, Mom. For all the beautiful stories you used to read to me, it still gives me a warm feeling when I think about it again I just had to capture it in a drawing 📚 #extoriance (bij Strijp-S) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTulcZdKjSC/?utm_medium=tumblr

Have you seen this movie yet? It's called Grave of the fireflies. If there's one animated movie I'd like to recommend to you, it's this one. 33 years ago the amazing Isao Takahata created this movie. It moved me to the core. I never had to cry while watching an animated movie... but this one got me over and over again This is one of the gems in the film industry. I'm glad I was finally able to create an ode for this unique film, which has been on my wish list for a long time. Seita and Setsuko have a special place in my heart :) (bij Strijp-S) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSb4BcSD1nK/?utm_medium=tumblr

I thought it was about time for a new self-portrait. You know, the one where the person looks super surprised at the camera, wondering why one eyebrow is always higher than the other. . . . #extoriance #sanneerven #meetthemaker #selfportraitartist #strijpseindhoven #eindhovencity #creativeworkspace #illustratorsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram #dutchartist #dutchart (bij Strijp-S) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSNcW1Dj7xD/?utm_medium=tumblr

Made this drawing a while back. Wanted to color it in now to see if the drawing is worthy enough to print on a tshirt. Would you wear this?😗 Ponyo and Sosuke / "Ponyo on the cliff" from the great Hayao Miyazaki ( Studio Ghibli ) . . . #extoriance #sanneerven #strijpseindhoven #strijps #ponyo #gakenouenoponyo #studioghibli #ghibli #hayaomiyazaki #zentangleart #sealifeart #animelovers #totoro #thisiseindhoven #ghibliart #ghiblistudio #animeart #zentanglelovers (bij Strijp-S) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRtV1JgLU_j/?utm_medium=tumblr

One of the most beautiful feelings creating your own artwork can give you is having that feeling over and over: "Wow, did I just create that?!" That sense of pride gives your soul so much satisfaction. Not only is creating your own artwork wonderfully therapeutic while you work on it. It is also the feeling that you have created something all by yourself that has your own stamp on it. It's your own fingerprint that you eventually leave behind when your own story is out For me personally, I still think it's great to honor my own childhood heroes such as Hayao Miyazaki and the Walt Disney team. I just love to walk around in the fantasies that have come out of their legacy and gave me the huge appreciation for animation. I don't think I'll ever grow out of it! ...Damn millennials ;) . . . #extoriance #sanneerven #myneighbortotoro #studioghibli #ghibli #totoro #strijps #strijp #thisiseindhoven #totorotattoo #totorolover #hayaomiyazaki #ghiblifanart #howlsmovingcastle #ghibliart #ghibliredraw #japaneseillustration #animeart #otakugirl #mandalaart #zendoodleart #zendala #zentanglelovers #zentangleart #animelover #asianinspired #totoroart #spiritedaway #disneyaddict #meetthemaker (bij Strijp-S) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRS2oVqre9-/?utm_medium=tumblr

"You can rip and steal my heart out of my body, suffocate me, poison me.. but whatever you do, I will remain immortal forever." This has long been a thought I had on my favorite fairy tale. Recently I read a great adaptation of this story from the wonderful Neil Gaiman, one of my favorite writers. It is a short story about Snow White, which he called Snow, Glass, Apples. I was thrilled to see how much it matched my strange take on the fairytale. An absolute must read! This drawing is my adaptation to his, and Disney's take on the story. Thanks for this, @neilhimself ! . . . #sanneerven #extoriance #neilgaiman #snowwhite #snowglassapples #disneysnowwhite #thisiseindhoven (bij Strijp-S) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMuYEyBBzN2/?igshid=bykisoqumlea

I think, for many, this movie was the first to teach many about the concept of death. I thought it was so shocking then and was so in tears that I might have watched the movie twice in my childhood. When I revisited the film in my adult life, what struck me most was that the surroundings are so lovely drawn. The scenery in Bambi is truly beautiful. If you were to compare it to the animation I grew up with in the 90s, or even the animation of today, it doesn't just hold up, Bambi's nature scenes actually outclass them. :) . . . . #sanneerven #extoriance #bambi #disneyanimation #bambiandthumper #disneyartfeed ##disneyart #disneyfanart #thisiseindhoven #meetthemaker #detailedartwork (bij Strijp-S) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMRWsPDhAR2/?igshid=om55i7czj41m

I have been working on this drawing in a perfectionist way for far too long. I'm so happy with the end result. This is my tribute to Miyazaki's adaptation of Howl's Moving Castle, written by the late Diana Wynne Jones. Thank you so much for the fantasy you both brought into this world. If you haven't seen this movie yet. It's on Netflix! Do watch it. . . #sanneerven #extoriance #thisiseindhoven #dianawynnejones #howlsmovingcastle #studioghibli #hayaomiyazaki #howlandsophie #sophiehatter #bookillustration #artnouveau (bij Strijp-S) https://www.instagram.com/p/CL_02yihSix/?igshid=1jbhpp7zihim3

While Lady and the Tramp may not rank as one of Disney's greatest animated works, it still makes for a charming experience thanks to its memorable and entertaining characters and gorgeous animation. Mind you, this movie came out in 1955! I wanted to post this one on Valentine's day but I ran out of time after I finished drawing Mickey and Minnie. No I'm not a perfectionist ... 😌*coughs* I hope you like it! . . #sanneerven #extoriance #disneyart #ladyandthetramp #disneyaddict #disneyfans #ladyendevagebond #disneyfanart #thisiseindhoven #strijpseindhoven #eindhovencity #eindhovendichtbij (bij Strijp-S) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLeAImBBo6P/?igshid=15uk0qqutm60h

Ahh ~ Valentine's Day. The day one hates or loves. Personally, I've always had a fondness for this special day. ~ And so there it was: A rather sweet inspiration to put one of the cutest couples in Disney's repertoire in the spotlight today; Mickey and Minnie Mouse. In front of Cinderella's Castle ofcourse! I hope you enjoy this drawing as much as I do.😍 Happy Valentine's day! . . #extoriance #sanneerven #disneyart #disneyfanart #mickeymouse #minniemouse #thisiseindhoven #valentijnsdag #valentinesday2021 #loveisintheair #lineart #disneylandforever #disneyfans #detailedartwork (bij Strijp-S) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLQndrghP7U/?igshid=asf3m3b3b48
