Bork, bork, bork! The Swedish Chef is taking “fast food” to a whole new level—now with 100% more chicken anxiety. Camilla did not sign up for this Tour de Flap. Latest from my Bikes of Amsterdam series

“Nothing says ‘Amsterdam food culture’ like burning your mouth on a molten bitterbal while trying to look cool about it. Dip it in some mustard and remember the ragout can turn to lava so bite carefully. Illustration by me, inspired by personal experience.

🐟 Haring – Eat it the Dutch way: raw, pickled, and held by the tail. Bonus points if you do it in one bite. Are you brave enough to try? #DutchFood #AmsterdamEats #FoodieTravel #Netherlands #Haring #BikeLife #AmsterdamFoodie #SnackTime #TravelEurope #Holland #DutchCuisine

Introducing my latest additions to the Bikes of Amsterdam series! Inspired by the iconic Dutch kissing boy and girl, these two are taking a spin on classic Dutch bikes. 🚲💙 Their vintage vibes meet modern movement—capturing a piece of Dutch culture in motion.

Trump's win shows us who Americans really are: This article by professor Aaron W. Hughey is one of the most powerful and accurate post-election indictments of America you'll ever read. 😳👇

The Bassett Biker and his hooman. Spotted this well balanced dog and his owner out in Amsterdam having the time of their lives. Dogs on bikes never ceases to amaze me. #dogs #bikes #dogsandbikes #bikelife #cyclingmad

With Pride just round the corner, here's a little sneak peek of something I'm illustrating for Hello Gorgeous magazine. This was a lot of fun and will share the whole image later when it's published. But for now I hope this sneak peek, peaks your interest. #Pride #editorial #illustratorsforhire

Hey. So it’s been a while but I just had to make this painting of a cute couple I spotted out in VondelPark. It’s all about the rain gear. You need good rain gear. #bikelife #bikeart #dogs #dogsandbikes #cycling #cargobikes #yellowrainjackets #artprints

The Elevator Farter We’ve all been there, wondering who let out a fart in a confined space. It’s never who you think. I mean who would blame a nun? #kidlit #stinktober23 #farthumor

My first post on bsky is going to be a gross one! Here's my submission to @studiohoffmann.bsky.social stinktober prompts 'REEK' #stinktober23 had fun making this one, and went through a few sketches before this idea came to light. And it's a gross one. Enjoy.
