Maurice Vellekoop is an internationally famous illustrator who you probably already know, but if not, definitely check out his stuff.

I’ve been a long-time fan and his work for Vogue, Cosmopolitan, GQ, Wallpaper, and Time (among many, many others…!) is some of the sexiest most playful material you’ll find in modern illustrations. I’ve linked to a few of his books below and included some of his other works for you to have a peek at, too.

MANY, MANY THANKS to Maurice for providing me with this unbelievable piece. I ‘m pretty excited and without further ado… Check it out!

Check out some of his acclaimed video work here.

As you can imagine, I’m really excited to be able to work with such an artist like Wrik, particularly so early on in my career. The shoot, although artistically inspired, is still gonna’ be damn hot! We’re shooting in about two weeks and I can’t wait to see the results!

Will continue to keep you posted on all related action. Let me know if you have any questions for me or Wrik and I’ll get ‘em answered as we go.

Some more announcements coming soon… Stay tuned!
