Drawings - Corne Akkers Art

Amusement park Hagslaren – 24-06-79

In summer 1979 I went to Slagharen and this drawing may have been an anticipation to or the result of that trip. Back then I liked to reverse letters in titles.

Dancing animals – 29-05-79

I was into cartoons for years and this one is no exception.

Shooting cowboy (1975 – 1980)

I was into cartoons for years and this one is no exception.

Cowboy shooting (1975 – 1980)

A very early drawing in my childhood.

Normaal – 06-06-78

A drawing of the band ‘Normaal’ I was very fond of. After their hit ‘Oerend Hard’ (still standing strong) they came with another song and I even got the lyrics right.

Grote paarse ridderzwam (1978)

An early attempt to draw realistic motifs.

Dancing people (1978)

I was into cartoons for years and this one is no exception. This is a copy of a previous drawing.

Dancing people (1975 – 1980)

I was into cartoons for years and this one is no exception. In 1978 I made a copy of this one.

Candace Collins (1984)

An early attempt to do realistic nudes. Unfortunately not after a live model but depicting Candace Collins, a great looking playmate.

Man with sigar – 13-09-79

I remember being fond of Disney movies and there is this cartoon in which Mickey Mouse is a leader of a big band wearing a cap and tresses. Being 10 I still wanted to become a cartoonist.

Let’s do it this way, not that way (1979)

A cartoonesque drawing with which I won the first price of a competition organized by Milieudefensie Nijmegen.

Tempo (1980)

An early attempt to depict realism, using a bag of paper handkerchief (Tempo). I remember the struggle, dragging myself from the 1970s and trying to get rid of the child in me and my drawings.
