My name is Elze van den Akker.

I am a Dutch freelance illustrator making playful, bold, and colourful illustrations for grown ups. My aim is to generate childlike wonder and make you giggle with my art. Research shows that relish awe and wonder can positively affect our mental and physical health, and who doesn't want that?!

'We don't stop playing because we grow old,

we grow old because we stop playing.'
