Shop Around

Shop Around www.shop-around.nl Shop Around is based in Amsterdam, Rotterdam and New York. We are continuously on the lookout for up-and-coming talent to foster.

Established in 1998 as a rep agency - mainly representing illustrators and graphic designers - Shop Around developed over the years into a creative production agency that specializes in contemporary illustration, graphic design, animation, motion graphics and interactive design. From here we co-ordinate all our projects and hold strong contacts with our network of about 80 freelancers. And strive

to bring new artists to market. Our aim is to give a broad overview of 'what is happening' to advertising agencies, publishers, TV companies, record companies and direct accounts (companies not working with advertising agencies). We pride ourselves in being able to offer unparalleled expertise and experience managing complex briefs and tight deadlines for our clients.

'Welkom in Catalonië’ (tr: 'Welcome to Catalonia') is author and copywriter Jasper van Buren’s autobiographically inspired novel about moving to Spain with his family. Armed with optimism, plans and an abundance of confidence, they purchase an old Catalan farmhouse. What follows is a steady stream of eerie surprises, setbacks, bizarre situations and headaches that seem to have Jasper’s name written all over them.

The book received excellent reviews and was praised for its suspense, wit, and skillful storytelling. As one reviewer described it: “a dark and entertaining book for sunny days.”

Once again, Jasper approached us to design the cover. We previously had the pleasure of creating the covers for his debut novel ‘Ravijn' and its successor, 'Boeddha’s Uitsmijter'. Naturally, we were delighted to take on the design for this fantastic new book as well.

Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy. You won’t be disappointed. It’s a real page-turner.

Here's some recent travel retail work made by Shop artist Kirsten Ulve for 'Dufry Duty Free'. This time the theme was inspired by Bali. Kirsten was sold the second she read “Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctary” in the briefing.

Swipe for the original sketch (with a few rough edges and the Bali typography detail that got edited out in the final version. 🐒✨

Going to Ibiza this summer? Put Makanxo Indonesian Street Food (located in Santa Eulalia) on your hit list. Indonesian street food, hip hop blasting, sambal sweating, terrace packed, happy chaos everywhere. What’s not to like? Eating in? Good move. Taking it to go? Also good move. The branding of this cool restaurant was designed and illustrated by our very own Shop artist Darrin Umboh, who brought an traditional Indonesian art style straight into 2026 by giving it a modern edge.

Oh, and while you’re at it, check out www.shop-around.nl for the work of more great artists. And if you have any questions, just send us a message. We are happy to help.

Because Fridays deserve at least one unnecessary snort-laugh, we’re wrapping up the week again with a fresh comic by the wonderfully unhinged Shop Artist Matthias Phlips. This one genuinely made us laugh out loud.

Originally commissioned by the Belgian newspaper 'De Standaard'.
Have a great weekend!

What if birthdays came with three-digit numbers? Would living to 150 make us wiser, exhausted, or simply impossible to schedule dinner with? And would accepting mortality actually make life feel fuller?
Commissioned by NEMO/Kennislink, artist Sanny van Loon crafted a playful series of papercraft illustrations to accompany articles diving into these questions and beyond.
