When a couple of assignments got cancelled and i figured i would have some spare time, I thought of a way to try and make something useful for animals in shelters. Here’s Thijs. The text reads:
This is Thijs. Thijs loves making long walks, actively playing with toys. He does not like cats or other dogs. He also has a calm character. Thijs is looking for a home. #illustrateshelteranimals #meetyournewbestfriend #adoptdontshop #forgetcoronavirusforamoment #dogsofinstagram #animalshelter

E is for Era/Earth/Extinction (swipe for animation!) - Most of us heard about it: we are living in the Sixth Mass Extinction Event. It’s an Era in which many lifeforms as we know them will Extinct at a high rate. It’s sad to know that we have played a big part in triggering this. Thinking about this makes many of us feel guilt, deep sadness, frustration and anger. It’s not easy to deal with such an enormous loss of beautiful species that are beyond saving: by our own doing. Nevertheless: it’s okay to feel all those things, many of us do. Many others are still in denial. But being able to know and feel those things in this way is what make us human: one of the many species on earth facing the state of our homeplanet. We have the ability to talk about it, to fight it and to mourn about it together. Because of the nature of the problem, and the way people are trying to forget it’s here, it’s not a popular subject to start talking about most places. But please do: you’ll see you’ll find likemindedness in unlikely places. And because before we can actually make massive changes in our way of life as a species, we must acknowledge the truth, mourn about it, and then turn our frustration, anger and sadness into action: together. Noses in the same direction, striding towards a new era, in which we finally come back home, as a species, to the nature we are a part of.

D is for Discovery - we humans have a great urge to discover stuff. It’s healthy and necessary to the survival of our species. But this urge led to us discovering so much things, that we seem to have lost the essence of what we really need. Think about it. What is your most valuable discovery? Don’t hesitate to comment below.

C is for contribute. (Swipe for animation)
One person might not believe they can change the world, but one person can certainly be a part of it. So dont feel silly doing all the environmentally friendly stuff you do in your life, the discussions you have about it with people in your direct environment. You áre making a contribution to the change that we need to make. Every contribution matters!

A is for “Absolutely” - my answer to the question if i am using this next 36 days to promote an earthfriendly lifestyle again? Remember the #revolutionalphabet? This year I will draw an Art-Nouveau/Jugendstil alphabet. Less is more or is it less? Just follow @segoliaworld and you will see.

Holding the fire for my handpalmfriend.
Friends make out such an important part of my life. I can’t thank you guys enough for being my friends, even when I feel very small or when there’s someone pulling my hair. 😂
Yesterday I had superfocus and kept drawing on this till quite late. I picked the palette beforehand like my friend @sim_kaart showed me. (Ik heb alleen ietsje meer kleurtjes gekozen, haha)

LOOK CLOSER - I am super thankful for the fact that I had the pleasure of being in an airplane that flew over Greenland. My life lacks real winters these years and I truely miss the cold and the way snow used to cover-up all that’s dirty and ugly in the city.
This flight over such a true winter-landscape was breathtaking. Greenland’s vast wilderness was totally new to me, but while staring at it through the airplane window, it also triggered memories of great relevance. For example: it came back to me the way I felt when I first studied my big sister’s atlas as a kid. As I felt the ancient importance of the planet. And nature as I experienced it, unclouded by the relatively trivial business of living a modern ‘adult’ life.
Through little openings in the clouds I saw icebergs in the ocean, a liquid ice landscape, incredible cracks in a thicker pack of ice, becoming an enormous desert of snow. One could doubt if all that white matter were clouds or ice. Until, looking closer: even from such a distance one could see the glittering in the snow.
And this is what I made of it. #truewinters #winterlandscape #globalwarming #sixthmassextinction #iceberg #whale #wilderness #solongandthanksforallthefish #greenland #earth #atlas #snow
The overhanging tree - rotring in sketchbook
Today I was driving home through the rain in the dark. The rain streaming down over the windshield reflected my gloomy mood and then this old song on the radio: All of it created this image in my mind.

Tonight I had a great time working on this person. I started with the frame, than chose my weapons to make something to fit in it.
Still in progress and no idea what kind of humimal this will become. Probably some kind of ape, but nothing is for sure... #workinprogressart #ape #monkey #seventeenthcentury #portraitpainting #painting #illustrationartists
