| General info : | | Milou Hermus (born April 17, 1947 in Dordrecht, The Netherlands - died died on 11 April 2021, Amsterdam (aged 73) ) was a Dutch illustrator and visual artist.
She has been teaching Life Drawing and Illustration at Avans University of Applied Sciences in Breda since 1984.
In 1967 she graduated from St. Joost Academy with a degree in Fashion design and
illustration.
Her break-through came in 1977 with what Milou calls her ‘ketchup drawings’. Dick de Moei was the art director for a fashion report in Avenue magazine (and would later receive an award for it). He saw her work and told her: “Just do something with red.” She created three magazine pages.
In the 1980s she and her partner, the artist Ton Blommerde, moved to a stately home on Amsterdam’s Stadhouderskade.
For twelve years (1993–2005) Milou Hermus worked for the pharmaceutical company Janssen-Cilag in Tilburg. Each time a new prescription medicine was ready for the market, the company, a part of the Johnson & Johnson group, commissioned Milou to deliver a drawing that indicated the product’s effectiveness.
In 2002, Milou illustrates ABN AMRO’s annual report over 2001. Other clients include DAF, Ford, Schildersbedrijfschap, Aegon, Avenue, Playboy, Opzij, AkzoNobel, Amnesty International, Janssen-Cilag, Bont voor Dieren, Ando publishers, Elsevier, NWO, New York Times, Quote Magazine, NRC/Handelsblad, Manteau publishers, PTT, Bladeren publishers, Bugamor, Organon, VNU, MODAM, Search Magazine, De Bijenkorf, Longdon Shirts, Bernard Woorts Wines, Heidemij, Hudig-Langeveldt, Katholieke Universiteit Nijmegen, Delta Lloyd, Universiteit van Amsterdam, Eckhardt Wintzen, Hogeschool van Amsterdam, Zwiers, BSO, KPN, Van Gils, Bouwfonds, VPRO, ABN AMRO, KPMG.
