A while ago I was approached by Dutch newspaper art director Karin Goedhart. If I would be interested in making some gift wrapping paper for their anniversary issue. I made a design that can be used during winter. Not so much a special Sinterklaas or Christmas piece. The giftwrap is double sided. One side has strong contrasting shapes and colors, the other one is a more modest composition and color scheme.
I did not realize yet I also had something to celebrate in this same week. Two years of creating Little Smilemakers. So for me this issue is also a bit about my own Little Smilemakers celebration. AD Magazine is available today in Dutch bookstores and news stands.
