Henrieke G

Hi! I'll properly introduce myself. I'm Henrieke, an artist from the Netherlands who LOVES animals, comics and animation. I've done/do work for Disney Comics, Bommel & Tom Puss, Looney Tunes Cartoons, Woezel & Pip and others. Once in a blue moon I also make puppets, costumes and sculptures.

Seeing Eric's face on the national evening news in the Netherlands is surreal for all the wrong reasons :( It also is very telling that among all the news going on around the world, it's him who gets featured in a broadcast halfway across the planet where English isn't even the first language.

I’m completely shellshocked and can barely even begin to think. Eric Bauza was always so sweet and encouraging to me in all the times we talked together, he’d leave such kind encouraging comments on my art and knew I loved his Daffy enough to sing happy birthday to me in his voice.

Thanks, just the pick me up I needed

My first professional voice gig, I got to share the booth with Bauza, him as Bugs and me as Beaky. I was so nervous, so scared... and then he came into the booth with me, reassured me, told me I'd do better than okay, and for that half hour I felt like I really could be good enough for him.

People are sharing all sorts of stories of Bauza on the picket lines fighting for artists and standing up for the craft of animation but I just keep thinking about the time he went to Tara Strong’s birthday and stopped by 6Point on the way home with a tray of cakepops for the artists working late

Next Saturday, on Halloween, I’m presenting an animator breakdown of Disney’s “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” (1949) on Patreon. Here’s a special treat: a music-only version of Ichabod Crane’s introductory song—you can tell how much it relies on Bing Crosby and the girl singers.

Can anyone I know at Lightbox pick up a sketchbook for me ;; Though that's a slippery slope

If you're at Lightbox (JEALOUS), you can find my little art book at Stuart Ng's table!

An incredible and beautiful book has arrived at Tet Zoo Towers... #Cryptozoology: Unknown Beasts of the World by Johan Egerkrans. Great text and gorgeous artwork. I provided a bit of advice and also wrote the foreword. On sale now :) #books

Go join the charity stream if you can! The Pieterburen seal rescue is a place that I deeply cared and raised money for as a prime school kid... I dreamed of working there when I got older. Seeing them on the cusp of shutting down due to financial hardship is really sad.

Some Raww designs from #ForgottenIsland! I was absolutely THRILLED to work on this guy! 💚 I had so much fun exploring all the little details between his weredog to human form. For Raww's dog form I referenced the Aspin (formerly Askal) but specifically the Philippine Forest Dog, or "asong gubat."

You voted, we listened.👂The All Ears finalists are anxiously waiting to hEAR the results. Cast your vote in the comments now! ⬇️

I really wish I had more to share, the process is taking so long, but have a picture of some molds from earlier?

EXCELLENT CHOICE.

Some of my work for #PortfolioDay! I love to draw animals and old-school cartoons.

Give this some more views (it only has 750 right now but I suspect it will be more soon)! youtu.be/ydvD84Mu018?...

Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...

Product safety is not always like the movies. Here, we have resources.

Dutch Disney podcast @d-tales.nl launched an online radio station that non-stop plays Disney music, from movies, parks and other stuff, including more obscure songs. I know some of you would enjoy such a thing! radio.d-tales.nl

Just a reminder that there is a city in Europe where Russian drones hunt civilians 24/7.

So grateful I get to include this comic in my book as a way of saying thanks ❤️ kickstarter.com/projects/mrlovenstein/mr-lovenstein-presents-fun

Straight from the camera: Small but fierce littlest fluffballs <3 Can you guess the species?

Getting asked to give a presentation together with Tim Artz about our work to the entire design team of Efteling is one of the coolest things I ever got to do, and honestly something I should actually brag more about

This weekend (tomorrow!) on the 26th and 27th, I'll be sharing a booth with my friend Mariëlle at CityFest in Veldhoven. It's free to visit! cityfestvhv.nl The weekend after, on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th of October, we'll both have a table at Animal Event in Best. animal-event.nl Hope to see you there!

Help I'm being attacked

OMG!! Partial T. Rex MUMMY with INTEGUMENT, ARE YOU KIDDING ME RN!?!?!? Paper to release in 2027 I am freaking out!!! #dinosaurs #trex 🦖

Been busy today with putting some of each of the pin designs I got in so far on backing cards, so I can sell the leftover stock in person. This isn't even half of them yet, I'm pretty happy with how they look on a rack like this! I'm working on getting pre-orders shipped out as soon as possible!

This video about 30 years of Eurofurence was shown at the closing ceremonies. It's really worth a watch, whether you don't really know what these cons are like at all or if you've been attending for 18 years like me. It's crazy how much things have grown the past years. youtu.be/KJgARCFDf3I?...

“Fast and Furry-ous”, the debut cartoon of Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote, was released on this day in 1949. Chuck Jones and Michael Maltese introduced one of the best cartoon chase duos ever put to screen. #LooneyTunes #CoyotevsACME

The new wild cat species is about the size of a domestic kitten and lives in Bolivia.
