Overview
Hi, I am Femke. Originally from the Netherlands, but since 2003 I have been living in Bristol, UK.
I have worked for many editorial clients across the world, and still am doing so. My longest standing column is with BBC History Magazine, for whom I have worked for over 14 years.
My style would be a great fit for book/cover illustrations.
I have worked in this area before, and really enjoyed it.
Most of my work is quite history-oriented, I like to tell a story and create environments. My work is concept-driven, and my use of metaphor and allegory translate really well to modern day topics.
My work can be black and white or full colour.
Please have a look at my website for a taste of my work, I
am sure you will like it!
Looking forward to be working with you soon,
Very best,
Femke

I have been doing graphic design work and gif animation for publishing, and advertising on a freelance basis for magazines and corporate clients.
Self-employed
It has been a pleasure and a privilege illustrating a Monthly column with BBC History Magazine.
For the last 10 yrs I get to illustrate the articles of Michael Wood.
Before that I illustrated for the radio presenter Chris Bowlby.
Self-employed
I am mainly a freelance illustrator. I work for editorial, advertising and publishing clients worldwide.
My work has is a combination of collage and drawn elements, woven together in a rich etched print style.
I have illustrated many historical subjects, as I love history, and as we should always learn from history this can apply to many modern day subjects.
