“Nice item in the puzzle 'Sea banquet', in the reservation book is the name of the artist of the puzzle – Rob Derks”

Rob Derks is part of the Jan van Haasteren studio. Rob Derks (born 1974) lives in Nijmegen with his girlfriend and three children. He has already drawn quite a few puzzles for the Jan van Haasteren Studio. In addition to the drawings he makes for the Jan van Haasteren Studio, Rob also makes his own puzzles for Jumbo, called “pieces of History”. As the name suggests, you can see elements from history in those puzzles.
