A cartonesqe depicting of an indian. I really was into cartoons at the end of the 70s and I dreamt of being a cartoonist.

Hitting my teen years I became fascinated by violence and horrors, impressed by bloody world war and medieval stories. I think for children depicting horrific scenes is a way to overpower hefty emotions that follow seeing ones.

Punk vs The Rolling Stones (1975 – 1980)

I remember drawing this one. In the hit news there was this debate about punk defeating traditional rockers like the Rolling Stones. Must have triggered my childish mind.

Kiss (1975 – 1980)

This one might have done in 1978 or earlier, around the release of ‘I was made for loving you’. As a child I was crazy about them, also because of the funny costumes and because I liked rock very much. A typical kid’s drawing still.
