De Hik (The Hiccups) is my newest book with Micha Wertheim. Have you ever wondered why you have the hiccups? And where do the hiccups go when you leave them? Or do they leave you? Do frogs have the hiccups? Read everything about the hiccups in this wonderful book called "De Hik" (in Dutch).
Stills from the animations I made for Brahms' "Die Schöne Magelone". Commissioned by violist Liza Ferschtman and the International Chamber Music Festival in Delft, narrated by Micha Wertheim.
