Client recommendations

“Here at Hemels we publish a range media relation magazines. Marcs style is very accesible and fresh, this suits specific clients such as Vacanselect very well. It’s also a pleasure to work with him; he comes up with his own concepts but is also open to our suggestions. And, not unimportantly, he delivers on time!”
— Karen Wikart, Chief editor at Hemels BV “Pretty soon after you've laid down the phone he produces scetches which usually can be worked out staight on. As no other he is capable of capturing a complicated idea into a compact image. That's why he is one of the few illustrators who's work makes it to the cover of Elsevier.”
— Peter ter Mors, Art Director Elsevier “For over ten years Marc has delivered gems of illustrations and infographics for Ode Magazine (and as far as I can remember always on time). With his warm, light style Marc hits the core of the subject every time - and the humor in his work often evokes a smile.”
— Marco Visscher, Chief editor at Ode Magazine “Working on the basis of short briefings Marc always manages to surprise us with meaningful, high quality illustrations. Be it for our Specials or our Global Connection Magazine, for expats and their partners, read in 120 countries by 80 different nationalities. My personal favorite is the illustration for the article about Expat Relations.”
— Jacqueline van Haaften, Managing Director Global Connection B.V.
