Tjeerd Royaards, born February 19th 1980, is a Dutch cartoonist and illustrator living in Amsterdam. He studied political science here, but over the years his childhood passion for drawing resurfaced and after graduation he decided to pursue a career as political cartoonist.
Tjeerd is a self-taught artist and his work has a distinct and uniquely recognizable style characterized by clean, crisp lines. He uses little text in his cartoons or illustrations, preferring a more graphical approach in which the image and the objects within the image convey the message non-verbally. His drawings are made by hand, using fineliners of varying thickness; coloring is done digitally.
Currently Tjeerd Royaards works as an editorial cartoonist for Perron E, a magazine about European affairs published in Belgium and the Netherlands. Additionally, he is employed as an illustrator by a number of business-to-business magazines and commissioned regularly by advertising agencies and non-profit and governmental organizations.
