1. Cartoon showing a giant peace symbol. One half of the peace symbol is being constructed by a crane lifting in big bricks and people painting the symbol white, while the other half is being destroyed by tanks, missiles and soldiers. A sign in front of the symbol shows a circle made out of arrows, the symbol for a cycle.

1. Cartoon showing a flooded street with the roofs of houses sticking out. People are clinging to a floating billboard that is drifting by, which is promoting cheap airline tickets. In the background, another billboard is promoting cruises; yet another billboard further back urges people to vote for populism stating 'there is no climate crisis'.

1. Cartoon showing a street with apartment buildings. People inside the apartments and walking on the street are all staring at a smartphone, laptop or tablet. Each person has a big straw stuck inside its head, which is connected to an even bigger straw that is running down the middle of the street. The giant straw passes through a wall that has a sign that reads 'Private - No Entry'. Behind the wall the straw divides and leads to the corporate offices of Apple, Google and Meta.

Monday was the hottest day ever globally, beating a record set the day before (!). I got some criticism on this cartoon when I published it last year, that it was a bit over-the-top visually, but it actually seems pretty accurate to me...

Op de wand van de garage hangt een bord waarop staat ‘Garagebedrijf Schoof: uw specialist in normalisering.

I posted this cartoon last week for the European elections (with the EU logo on the stone), but this was actually the initial cartoon idea I had, which works just as well I think...

1. Cartoon showing the wall separating Israel from Gaza. On the wall are campaign posters with a big portrait of Netanyahu and the word VOTE above it. A car from the International Criminal Court is parked in front and ICC personnel are busy putting up posters that go over the campaign posters, covering the word 'VOTE' so that it instead reads 'WANTED FOR WAR CRIMES'. Behind the wall we see victims of the destruction in Gaza lying bleeding on the ground.

The future is AI. Cartoon for Trouw.

1. Cartoon showing a family standing, smiling and posting, in a beautiful mountain landscape. The landscape, however, is created by giant computer screens. The top menu on one of the screens reads ‘AI Nature Simulator, with a drop-down menu with the options ‘Forest’, ‘Mountains’ and ‘Sea’. The cursor is hovering over the option ‘Mountains’. Behind the screens, we can see a jumble of giant servers, cables and power cords standing in a desolate landscape with a few dead trees in the background. Large pipes go from the servers into the cracked ground to extract cooling water.

I made this cartoon because I wanted to speak out on the issue, but I didn't expect it to see any ink. In my experience, editors tend to shy away from bloody visual language. So I'm surprised and happy to see it published in this week's Courrier International.

1. Cartoon showing a man on a podium pointing at a large picture projected behind him of the earth rolling down a cliff towards flames. The earth is held in place at the edge of the cliff by a large pile of money bags. An arrow points to the money bags with the text: ‘how we could save the world’. In front of the podium, rich men and women are sounding on money bags, drinking champagne. On the wall is the logo of the World Economic Forum and ‘Davos 2024’.

1. Netanyahu is standing in front of three judges of the International Court of Justice, pleading ‘Not guilty!’ To the side, we see a giant folder titled ‘Gaza evidence’; between the pages the victims of the violence in Gaza stick out, while blood is seeping out from the pages as well.

1. Cartoon showing swinging office building of Shell, BP, ExxonMobil and Chevron, with billboards promising a green and sustainable future. In front of the offices, two electric cars are charging, there are green trees and bushes, and here is a wind turbine in the background. Below the offices, we see a basement with the planet earth chained up and gagged, while many pipes are sucking out resources to the offices above. A fork lift is hoisting a bag profit into a vault filled with many bags of money.
