Exclusive Color Full Drawings

Miriam van der Hoek, former Soul Fotographer, took this picture at Hotel New York in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

Do you have an upcoming birth day in your family?

Or will your business partner open a new office?

And would you like to give a one-of-a-kind gift?

I will be most glad to make for you an Exclusive Color Full Drawing. I have been making drawings all my life, and in 2023 I turned my hobby into a business.

First example of my work

Labyrinth (2010)

I was many times in Bulgaria and in Ukraine (before the war), because I find those countries fascinating. That is apart from the inevitable setbacks and the culture shock I had in Bulgaria.

In case you are Bulgarian, you may know the expression “закьснение”. For non-Bulgarians, that means “being late”.

Don’t always believe the rubbish journalists tell you, Mind you – I was a freelance Balkan journalist.

I enjoy being open minded to another way of thinking. That gives me a Color Full life and lots of great and positive energy. As I enjoy languages, it was great fun to learn Bulgarian and Ukrainian.

Now I travel around the world to get inspiration from color full work from various artists.

Second example of my work

Haunting Arrows (2015)

California was inspiring, Las Vegas was impressive, Brazil was great, as well as Rio de Janeiro’s Copacabana beach and India was awesome.

I was very happy to buy in May 2025 at Brazil’s Fox de Iguazu airport a multi colored pencil case. And of course the sales lady was eager to sell, and she accepted my payment in cash.

That is a very nice and good example how I am inspired for an Exclusive Color Full Drawing.

My work is flexible, I do not have a steady office. My business address is also my home address and it is useful for tax purposes. My archive boxes and my library books are stored on a secure place.

Third example of my work

Happy New Year (2020)

I always travel with a bag full of pencil cases. The Brazilian one is mos special. This way of working seems out of date in the 21st century’s digital age. But it is not. It is most unusual, so I get a lot of questions,  and I am most happy to answer. Just as I had to explain many times my travels to Bulgaria.

While most people have just and only writing material pencils in their pencil cases, I use it for other stuff, for instance travel plugs or a selfie stick or shoe laces.

And of course a ruler, left tip pens in several colors and pencils. To make sure I can make your Exclusive Color Full Drawing at any time and at any place.
