Karel D. Kammeijer — Illustrator
Drawing has been a constant thread throughout Karel's life. After studying illustration at the Willem de Kooning Academy, he turned that lifelong passion into his profession.
His work is predominantly black and white — an eclectic mix of styles that have shaped him over the years. Cartoons and comics are a clear influence, and it's no surprise that characters like Mojo Jojo and Tintin occasionally find their way into his illustrations. Graffiti and street art have also left their mark, particularly in his use of bold, large-scale formats. As a child he was captivated by artists like M.C. Escher and Peter van Straaten — masters of black and white line work whose influence can still be felt in Karel's confident, expressive line today.
Over the years Karel has worked across a wide range of projects: illustrations for books and magazines, mural and wall art, packaging design, merchandise development, custom commissions, object customisation, live drawing at events, and campaign and event design.
He has had the pleasure of collaborating with brands including Vodafone/Ziggo, the Van Gogh Museum, Collect the Label, A-dam Underwear, Skins Care, Lagunitas and Albert Heijn.
