I was into cartoons for years and this one is no exception. I was fond of motor bikes for a short period of time.
These Sint and Piet figures look quite derelict and shows my growing discontent with this couple.
Not for a very long time I was fond of motor bikes and I surely never rode one.
A drawing that I made at school I think. The teacher’s sticker for approval still is on the paper.
The beatles were always in our living room and always on my mind.

In my youth I often dreamt of flying in a small airplane, balloons or just by flapping my arms frantically. I remember this drawing expresses these feelings.

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

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.
A very early drawing in my childhood. I see that I attempted to depict nature in a realistic way.
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.
A very early drawing in my childhood. I remember I wanted to get the forms of the car just right and therefor I spent quite some time on it.
