2013 Dreamscapes V
One by one my 75 colleguas in the book ‘Dreamscapes V’ are great artist and I’m proud to be in their midst. What us unites is our link to Imaginary Realism, what covers movements like magic realism, visionary realism, fantastic realism and surrealism.
2012 Book about stripes
Linda O’Keefe asked me permission to use the picture of my black and white Opel Kadett in her book about stripes. She also wanted to know the story behind. The result was a brilliant, large book full of beautiful pictures and stories about all kinds of stripy things.
2012 Catalogue Taipei
I am not sure if being listed in a catalogue is really counting as a publication, but the book was so huge and heavy, I simply had to picture it. Not mentioning that people at the Taiwanese art fair came to me, asking to … sign it! I felt like a real star.

The latest cd of CUNNIN’LYNGUISTS. An American hip hop group who chose MY painting for their cd cover !!!
For a 40+ white female this is probably as close as I can get to the hip hop scene. I’m blown away.
2009 Lexicon der Phantastischen kunstler
Austrian art curator Gerhard Habarta has worked 6 years to create an overview of artist with surreal, visionary, symbolic and fantasy elements in their works. This overview is published in an international encyclopedia ‘Lexicon der Phantastischen Kunstler’ (in German language).
I still need to get used to the fact that these days my name is classified under the V of Van Lubeck … In the Netherlands so many surnames starting with VAN exist, that Dutchmen don’t include that part of the name in alphabetic orders.
Until a few years ago I always have been a L. The L of Lucky to may be part of this Lexicon.

2008 Art magazine Public Art
Public Art is one of Asia’s leading art magazines and is published in South Korea.
Their May issue had a special feature about surrealism. I was surprised to find my name mentioned and one of my works between a few well known artists in an article about magic realism. I don’t quite understand what’s being written, but I’m sure it must be positive!
They’ve sent me the magazine and it was more than 200 pages excellent contemporary art. Almost a book!

2008 iGoogle theme
I created an interactive graphic environment for the search engine user interface.
The image changes automaticly a few times during the day.
2007 Dromen door Nederland
One of my drawings was recently featured in a Dutch book/CD called ‘Dromen door Nederland ‘.
It’s a wonderful A-Z book written by Henry Muldrow and each letter is accompanied by an illustration and a short song, all created by a different artists.
The theme throughout the book is the sometimes weird names of towns in the Netherlands and mine was Wildervangsterdallen, which is pretty much untranslatable. The rime is about ping pong balls …
2007 CD cover
The San Francisco progressive rock band Metaphor has used one of my images on their recently released CD-cover.
The CD is based on the best selling novel ‘The Sparrow’ by Mary Doria Russell.
Great concept and excellent music!
