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.
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.
Still life with fruit (1978)

An early attempt to draw realistic motifs. I can see that all depth still is lacking and I cannot remember when I saw tonal values for the first time.
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.
