Espresso Expert Sketchtoon Illustrations

I've just posted 5 screenshots of the sketchtoon-style illustrations I created for the Dutch design firm IN10 Communicatie (I'll post more screenshots as I get a chance).

They were drawn for the launch of a co-branded Krups & LavAzza campaign "30 Days to becoming an Espresso Expert" which was all in Dutch at this website:

http://www.espresso-expert.nl

I created illustrations for all 30 of the questions and other bits for Nicole, the art director at IN10 Communicatie (with Dutch translations provided) which she used to create an interactive site, along with her colleagues.

And how did Nicole find me? Via my Coffee Calendar Sketchtoons on Flickr.

The net is an amazing thing. :-)
