About the author
Marije Tolman (1976) graduated in Graphic and Typographic Design at the Royal Academy of Arts in The Hague. She studied Illustration and design at the Edinburgh College of Art in Scotland. The daughter of an artist, Marije has an inbred eye for colour, for beauty, for subtlety. She knows how to paint the delicate detail without losing the overall perspective.
About the illustrator
Ronald Tolman (Amsterdam 1948) is a sculptor, painter and graphic artist. He is inspired by everyday reality, but also by illustrious predecessors. Het looks for lines that interconnect between past, present and future. The doings of the “human species” run like a thread through his oeuvre.
