Website : _Website not available. Sign in: https://www.twine.net/signup_ Hello! I’m Maaike van Koeverden, a creative and driven illustrator and 2D animator. I recently graduated in 2024 from AKV St. Joost in Breda, where I focused on design, illustrated and animated storytelling. I work with both digital techniques and traditional media, translating stories into powerful and visually engaging artwork. I can adapt to multiple styles, from cartoon to realism. So I’m able to respond to a client’s vision with enthusiasm and flexibility. With my business Maaikunst, I mainly focus on sports, but I can draw any subject and I really enjoy doing so. I’m always open to a visual challenge and I approach my work with great energy. My experience spans freelance commissions, teaching, and collaborative projects, and I enjoy crafting visuals that communicate clearly and beautifully.

    paper Hoor Je Mij?! - Graduation Project

    The animated short film “Hoor Je Mij?!” tells a story about a 19-year-old girl who currently moved to a new city and started a new life. She discovers the city with her friend and enjoys her time. After a while she experiences a bad sexual experience and it changes her whole life. Everything that felt good before feels scary and sad now. That’s the moment when I want to tell her: “Do you hear me?”

    “It will not always stay the same!”

    After a while the girl realizes that her life goes on. She learns she wants to talk about her experience and knows it will help. Time goes by and she is starting to feel a little bit better.
