Our dear lady in need

Making each illustration was like a prayer
The Guild Onze Lieve Vrouw ter Nood in Tilburg asked me to make 35 illustrations for a booklet that would be published in 2020 because Tilburg was liberated 75 years ago. My illustrations of the war memorials, commemorative images and tiles are provided with texts by Paul Spapens.
What’s more: while I was illustrating the coronavirus broke out. It was uncertain what was going to happen to mankind. Every illustration I made was like a prayer to Our Lady of Need. This made the project all the more special to work on.
The illustrations are for sale for €160 each, €1,500 per 10 and €5,000 for all 35 illustrations (ex VAT and lists). Bids can be made untill 6 december 2020. Whoever wants to buy the complete series has priority. You can submit your bid via kunst@jofke.nl.
