Some sketchbook stuff

Sepia ink from a Sailor fude demannen fountain pen, and Winsor & Newton Cottman watercolor in a Talens art creation sketchbook

I highly recommend these books, they're not too expensive and hold water based media remarkably well if you don't mind a small amount of buckling

#17 - KAAL (Bald)
For the rap duo Antagon, consisting of Djenghis Haan and myself, I designed this cover featuring a lice comb, electric razer and some smearing
All this for a concept album about two men with a wish for a hairless society, roaming the streets at night to ambush and shave people
In the end they turn out to be heroes, because they help prevent an alien lice invasion...

My music covers through the years

#16 - Je krijgt mij niet neer (you can't bring me down)
This track as well as its artwork are special to me.
The track has kept me on my feet through some pretty rough times where I experienced a deep sense of desolation.
It's chorus has become a bit of a mantra to me, a reminder that adversity from no one can bring me down as long as I stay true to myself.
The artwork almost screams it, and also features the firebugs which have sort of become my signature.

#15 - Humural pathology (humorenleer)
This artwork made for dutch rap group 'de luidsprekers' reflects the theme of their EP, written in one evening with a bottle of whiskey
So the colorful liquid is poured into a bowl of guts as the humors themselves in monkeyform sit on top of it

#14 - Huis op de rots (house on the rock)
For this single release related to project Crux, I painted a house drowning in the waves, as well as a house standing firm on a rock
Don't build your house on the sandy land...

#13 - Haaienogen, wolventanden (shark eyes, wolf teeth)
This artwork was made for a gloomy apocalyptic lyric on a jazzy noir beat by Skinny Bonez tha Godfatha
A shark sticking up its head from a blood red ocean, but do you spot the steamship in the waves? The shark may be larger than you thought!

#12 - De geurinspecteur (the smell inspector), for my funk/rap band Platvloers I at the time made this design for a stomping rapmetal track, a bit out of the ordinary for us, to be fair.
Since funk is synonymous for smell, this shady figure comes by houses to check if they are 'funky' enough.
He also featured in animations for an accompanying music video.

#10 - Noise control
I designed this abstract thing for this EP by EDM/Hiphop producer and my close friend since many years, J. Duko
All songs on it were released separately as well, each with their own artwork stylistically tied to this design
Those will be shared later though...

#9 - ...En zo is het (...that's how it is)
Another solo release with production by J. Duko

#7 - Busstop blues
Now for something completely different.
For the 'het wachten waard' (worth the wait) podcast tied to the Rebushalte art project, I composed and recorded a bluesy leader.
People know me as an MC, but my primary instrument is actually the guitar!
The cover was an edited picture of the abandoned bus stop before it became an exposition location.

#6 - Buitengewoon (extraordinary)
By now I have finished my seventh artwork for the @fijnproeverz
More news on that will follow later... 😀
This one started with an ink drawing on paper, which I finished and colored digitally in Krita
A rocketman gesturing a peace sign somehow made sense, at least, the kitchen towel did as I wore it as an accessory in the video for 'onder de cloche'

#5 - boom aan de stroom (tree by the stream), yet another collaboration with producer J. Duko, this artwork was inked digitally in Krita, reflecting the subject matter of the song
A bit weird I guess, comparing the steadfastness of my wife in our life together to a sturdy tree ever more beautiful through all her seasons

#4 - Bloembollen (flower bulbs) was the only single released for my Schwung! album, and was accompanied by a video as well as this artwork

#3 - BeBtist botst
One of my very first ever forrays into digital art, based on a view from a house on a family getaway (I think I did this in Mypaint
It's abstraction lent itself to the vibe of the album, mind you, this is almost 20 years old

#2 - allemaal goud (all gold)

A golden borg cube protrudes from the cold and lonely darkness of space, symbolizing the value of collectivity
Which is the message of the song in a nutshell

The first in a series of gouache backgrounds for animations featuring local birds, and birds from the island of Ambon
This first one will however feature a flying fish

I'm closing in on ending my current animation project, which is great because I have the next one lined up immediately behind it.
Even though the character isn't mine, I think I managed to match the style with my backgrounds.
The added sepia challenge was a lot of fun, as well as a good value study!

For an animation project I need to draw and animate a number of birds from the island of Ambon and the Netherlands
Currently I'm in the sketching phase for it, exploring the topic
This parrot is from Ambon, known locally there as Kasturi

Hi, my name is Arjen a.k.a. Kons(trukto), and I'm an illustrator/animator/dutch rapper/musician.
A lot of my work is in animation for music videos and cover designs, but I also dabble in landscapes and botany.

I love to talk about art, but also like cacti, D&D and vegetable gardening

Here's my portfolio:
