Hey, I’m Adelaide. I’m an illustration student at the HKU in Utrecht and a genuine Rotterdammert. You’ll find me drawing all the time, observing everything and everyone. Besides that I love making anything dinosaur-related. Why? I’ve been wondering that myself lately. I do recommend watching Jurassic Park at least once in your life because that movie STILL is a-mazing. ANYWAY, follow me on Instagram because I post cool stuff and of course top-notch dinosaur content.
Alice Martini

Alice is a 22-year-old Italian girl with a big passion for art; from music to painting. She considers anything that comes from our imagination and reflects our soul as art. Moving to the Netherlands by herself at the age of 19 made Alice grow as a person and discover different sides of her personality, helping her express herself better through art. Having multiple styles helps exhibiting different concepts, therefore Alice has developed contrasting techniques throughout the years. With a big love for sharks, she’s always inspired by nature and its beautiful features.

Yooo! My name is Julian Mostert aka Shoarmakoffie. “Wow what a weird name” you wonder? Yeah well planet earth is weird aswell. I am 21 years old (if you convert it to human years). In fact I’m from another dimension but I was send here to spread and evolve my artwork. I finished my media design study back at my own dimension and now my artistic journey continues at HKU Illustration. I can make animations, illustrations and sometimes video’s. The nature on this planet is amazing and I am learning more about it every day. I feel honored to share my nature themed art in this very cool zine project.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text color=”#ffffff” css=”.vc_custom_1587400139856{border-bottom-width: 20px !important;}”]
I’m Celeste Janssens, a first year 2D animation student.
My heart lies in visual development. Visualizing stories and finding the right style for a film. It gives me the freedom to explore, experiment with color and moods, and lets me dabble in lots of different subjects (character development, environments, storytelling, etc).
When I heard the theme of the zine I immediately got inspired by my own childhood were we would go out in nature and catch bugs all day!
Hannah Vonk
[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text color=”#ffffff” css=”.vc_custom_1587389912454{border-bottom-width: 20px !important;}”]
Hannah Vonk is a 19-year-old artist from the Netherlands. This summer she will be attending art school to follow the course ‘Illustration’. Hannah is trying to develop her own style, she’s therefore using many different mediums and experimenting as much as possible. The things that inspire her most are human beings. In her art, she often tries to capture the way they behave and interact, while also trying to find her own place in society.

Well, hello there! My name is Imane El-Batioui (I know, I know, it’s a bit of mouthful). Anyway, currently I’m 18 years old and I live in the Netherlands. I like drawing, watching some good old Netflix and of course hanging out with people. To give you a little bit more of an insight into who I am, I like making jokes but the kind that are pretty lame. I guess that’s why people like me. I also love making animations and it would be such a dream to work at a big animation studio. Well, I think that’s enough about me. Take care!

Hi, I’m Isis! I’m a first-year illustration student at the University of the Arts in Utrecht. I’m in love with bright colors and cute animals and find most of my inspiration in nature. My favorite mediums to use are gouache and watercolor, but I’ve also been dabbling in digital art lately. When I’m not drawing or painting, you can usually find me playing animal crossing, watching frog videos, and eating instant noodles.
Jean Coenders
[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text color=”#ffffff” css=”.vc_custom_1587389859504{border-bottom-width: 20px !important;}”]
Hello, hello, hello! Jean’s the name. I’m 21 years old and a second-year animation student at the University of the arts in Utrecht (HKU). I’m short but very energetic and I’m always trying to transfer some of that energy into my drawings. More often than not you can find me scouring the internet for forgotten old animated TV shows, retro games or any helpful article on how to fix (yet another) broken Gameboy. With this zine I really wanted to bring a fun scene to life, so I hope you enjoy the rascals I drew.

Hi, hello, nice to see you here.
My name is Jop Kraaijkamp, I’m 17 years old and I’m from a small country town located somewhere in the east of The Netherlands. I’m currently studying Illustration at HKU University of the Arts and draw regularly at home. I’m also interested in technology, biology and maths.

ELena is an illustration student with a bizarre obsession for outer space. She first completed year one of Graphic Design successfully, but realized the best path for her was studying illustration. ELena is also trying to master making films, writing, painting, animating and essentially trying out all possible creative outlets. Beside all this, she’s pretty addicted to coffee as well as cats.

Eyey, My name is Kevin Hemelaar and I’m a 1st-year student at the University of the Arts in Utrecht. My passion is creating intriguing stories that capture the audience. Oftentimes these stories of mine are filled with fantasy, mystery and excitement. I tell them through illustration and animation, usually with a French graphic novel twist! An illustration from one of these stories can be found in the ‘Everything is Fine Zine’!
Lae Geurts
[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text color=”#ffffff” css=”.vc_custom_1587389699468{border-bottom-width: 20px !important;}”]
Hi there, I’m Lae. I’m a 19-year-old artist and animator-to-be from the Netherlands. My most used tools are digital media, acrylic paint and Ikea pencils. I like drawing a LOT of things but you may know me as “that one who draws Winx!” I also really enjoy dancing, singing, archery, sleeping and making fun of my rabbit Snert because she is a fool. You can find me on instagram and redbubble as @ohfifteen!

Lars Jan Hendrik Gijsbert Otto Kroon is a 20-year-old maker of terrible puns. He’s currently studying Illustration at the HKU in Utrecht. He is very passionate about music and history, and can get extremely excited about nearly anything. He is intrigued by mysterious and absurd aspects in artworks, and tries to translate this fascination back into his own work by adding a strange ambiance. He also likes to collect vinyl records and dress up like he’s from the seventies.

Hi! my name is Lisa Jong. I’m an animator/illustrator from the Netherlands. I draw a lot of characters and I love to play around with color. It is my dream to someday publish a graphic novel.

Hi! I’m Luca, a 20-year-old Illustration student with a burning passion for bright colors. Maybe not something I particularly put into practice with the illustration I made for this zine but I’m pretty pleased with it anyway. Good to get out of your comfort zone sometimes, right? Huh, that’s what my teachers keep telling me anyways. Been drawing since a very young age, it’s my favorite thing to do. Oh, and I’m really into Wes Anderson.

Do you see that silly men over there? His name is Maarten aka Muurten. He was born in 1998 which makes him around 22 years old. He is a very strange creative guy who can doodle, video edit, draw digitally, and who loves thinking of cool concepts for art projects. The thing that is special about this guy is that nothing makes any sense at all. But that is what he loves the most. Making and creating with other (crazy) creative people or just by himself. But especially with other creators. At the moment he just finished his graphic design study and started to explore his drawing skills at a new study at the HKU. Instagram: @butter_demon

Hello! My name is Max and I’m a first year illustration student at the hku. I have a thing for birds and love starting a million projects at once. This is one of those projects! I have way too many art supplies (but never enough). You’ll always find me listening to music and one of my big goals this year is to get 100k minutes on my Spotify wrapped.

Hi I’m Mick. I cough everytime I eat a tiramisu because of chocolate powder. I can’t remember my own phone number. I put the USB key in my laptop, it doesn’t work, I flip it, it still doesn’t work, I flip it again and it finally works. I constantly Forget what I’m supposed to do when i go into a room.

Hi! My name is Myrthe van Heerwaarden and I’m a first-year Illustration student at the University of the Arts Utrecht (HKU)! I’m from the Wadden Island Texel, hence you’ll notice that the topic of nature is very apparent in my work. The environment I’m in inspires me, and this was also the case while working on my spread. I hope that in this way, you can enjoy Texel’s nature despite the current situation of self isolation due to the coronavirus. You can find my work on Instagram.

Hi, I’m Olivier. I’m 19 years old and studying 2D animation. I love to play with wild colors and I unapologetically love my weird art. I’m very passionate about animation and storytelling even though I’m still hesitant to tell my own stories sometimes. I spend way too long on my hair, I have a weird obsession with forests, and I love absurdly bad movies. I’d love for my own work not to be absurdly bad. I’m just taking notes.
