Illustration: It's been over a year but Jan Van Der Veken has been very busy indeed

Date
6 May 2014

We haven’t caught up with Jan Van Der Veken since January 2013 – there was that massive magazine article we wrote on him, but that hardly counts. Since we last spoke he’s had his first monograph published with Gestalten, started a family and set up stock illustration archive Lekstock, which allows users to download great imagery from Belgian illustrators as easily as they would photography. Lots of changes! But what hasn’t changed is Jan’s unwavering skill as an image maker and master of the clear line – a skill that has the ability to delight us even though we’ve long been familiar with his work.
