RIP Tina Turner. November 26, 1939 – May 24, 2023. Nothing more to add than what everybody knows. That is saying something. #australianillustrator #australianartist #australia #stevevanderhorst #stevevanderhorstillustration #illustration #tinaturnert #queenofrock #nutbushcitylimits

Roy Kent

Roy Kent. We have been enjoying Ted Lasso. Although it is about the fortunes (or lack of), of the Richmond Greyhounds’ exploits in the Premier League, we find ourselves in a comedy focused on the characters and their relationships in contrast to the two dimensional football professionals portrayed by the sports media. I am particularly enjoying the character Roy Kent (played by Brett Goldstein), a retired Richmond Professional with attitude who is now on the Richmond coaching staff. I was going to do a pencil caricature but I started mucking around with photoshop and ended up with a digital silkscreen. #australianillustrator #australianartist #australia #stevevanderhorst #stevevanderhorstillustration #illustration #roykent #tedlasso #brettgoldstein #richmondgreyhounds #fcrichmond

Piet Hein

Following from the last illustration, a line drawing of Piet Hein, which pays homage to the Captain Morgan Rum label which is one of my favourite label illustrations of the last few years. Have a look at the label next time you are in a bottle shop. A few cues taken from that illustration but not directly copied. #australianillustrator #australianartist #australia #stevevanderhorst #stevevanderhorstillustration #illustration #piethein #pirate #80yearswar #dutchrepublic

Piet Hein

Piet Hein Illustration. When we were teenagers my father upgraded the family sailing boat and christened it Piet Hein to honour his Dutch seafaring heritage, complete with orange spinnaker. But who was Piet Hein? Piet Pieterszoon Hein (25 November 1577 – 18 June 1629) was a Dutch admiral and privateer for the Dutch Republic during the Eighty Years' War. Hein was the first and the last to capture a large part of a Spanish treasure fleet which transported huge amounts of gold and silver from Spanish America to Spain. The amount of silver taken was so big that it resulted in the rise of the price of silver worldwide and the near bankruptcy of Spain. #australianartist #australia #stevevanderhorst #stevevanderhorstillustration #illustration #piethein #pirate #80yearswar #dutchrepublic

Sir Les Patterson

The celebrated Australian Cultural Attaché and the chairman of the National Cheese Board Sir Les Patterson. Lecherously obese and offensive but a keen observer of the cultural landscape which spawned his peers. Denies he ever was an alcoholic despite what his public appearances seemed to suggest.

Dame Edna

Dame Edna Everage, one of Barry Humphries’ enduring and much loved alter egos. A great loss and will be much missed all around the world.
