Beer bottles (1984)

An early coloredpencil sketch of beer bottles, learning to create mass out of tonal values. In retrospective I like this one because it shows the transition from a child to an adolescent and more mature look at things.
Tour de France (1979)

I was into cartoons for years and this one is no exception. The Tour de France made a sound impression on me as a young child.
Landscape (1979)

An early attempt to draw realistic motifs.
Still life with fruit – 25-12-79

An early attempt to draw realistic motifs.
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.
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.
