A forgery
A fake cover in honour of one of my main influences in the 1980s. You won't know it if you are not a Dutch comics nerd, so i included the original with and without its striking plastic sleeve.

Fountain
'Fountain of Devolution' (65 x 48 cm), the latest collaboration between Gwen Stok and me. The fountain of youth by Lucas Cranach the Elder was the basis for this composition.

Waterzooi
"Waterzooi" 65 x 96 cm, ink on paper. The result of a drawing session between Gwen Stok, Pepijn van den Nieuwendijk a.k.a. Cirque de Pepin and me. The concept was Noach's ark after the flood with unruly animals in the 16th century mannerist style. The title literally means "watery mess" but also refers to the self-depreciating name of a Belgian soup dish (which is actually quite good) for which no English translation exists.

MY GOTT! DUNGEON DEGENERATES IS HERE!
Dungeon Degenerates - Hand of Doom is the biggest project Goblinko has created to date & it arrived in Portland on Halloween, 2017. We've spent the last two weeks getting a thousand kickstarter backed copies out to our backers & now we're gearing up for our big Christmas Sale. What started out as a combat card game that we asked our friend Eric Radey to write rules for has grown into a monstrous board game with an enormous world to explore - full of intrigue, weirdness, terror & lowlife elements. We put our full 100% into this game & it really shows.
I did an absurd amount of art for this game. Every card has unique art - every monster & every loot is a new piece of art. The Rules & The Missions books are heavily illustrated as well. Game Designer Eric Radey went the extra mile as well - the rules are smooth & effective & the thing drips with background information. It is an intense, immersive & new fantasy world that is both familiar & surprising at the same time.

Bilderberg Chick Tracts
About ten days ago we had the third installment of our Bilderberg Konferenz underground comixfest here in Berlin, and it certainly was great fun indeed. Like every year we produced a "conference publication", a comix zine which every visitor got for the (very small) admission fee. This year's theme was "A Tribute to Jack T. Chick" and instead of only one zine we actually made a set of 8 different little pamphlets very similar in appearance to Chick's own tracts. They contain comix by 25 different artists and seven of them have flip covers.
Here's what they look like:
It's interesting that, like with our Garfield zine from last year, several people told us that they couldn't participate - even though they wanted to- because they didn't agree with the theme. Garfield put some people off for aesthetic reasons, and Chick did the same for ideological reasons.
Anyway, I edited and layouted the whole thing and while I made some small mistakes (mainly mispelling some of the contributors' names) I am still quite pleased with how they turned out.

NecronomiCon and meeting Fufu!
On August 17, 2017 in Providence, Rhode Island, the NecronomiCon kicked off with the Ars Necronomica opening at the Woods-Gerry Gallery at the Rhode Island School of Design. It was here that I finally got to meet fellow Duck, Fufu Frauenwahl, who came all the way from Germany for the Con! For me, it was a fantastic weekend of weird lectures, creepy art, and meeting people in person who I've known for years only on social media. I think everyone was also able to make new friends, and I look forward to seeing everyone I met once again in two years when the Con happens again. Maybe we can get a few more Ducks over to Providence in 2019.
