For several editions of the Strijdkreet magazine – a publication by The Salvation Army about faith and purpose – I had the opportunity to create an illustrative spread.

Hope means being able to look towards the future with confidence and faith. It gives you the courage to keep going even when things get tough.

Magazine Hope – Christmas Edition of Strijdkreet

For this edition, the Christmas story was the central theme. I portrayed the journey of Joseph and Mary in a playful and contemporary way, using colors that align with The Salvation Army’s branding. A modern retelling of a timeless story.

Strijdkreet Magazine – OverHoop

I was commissioned to translate a Bible story into a modern-day context. A story about letting go, adventure, setbacks, and the joy of reunion. The result is a colorful and uplifting illustration.
