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.
Still life with fruit (1979)
An early attempt to draw realistic motifs. I remember the struggling and I was pissed off because I couldn’t get the 3d optical illusion right.
Floortje (1975 – 1980)
An early attempt to draw in a live session. Floortje was the first dog I got as a child and she was everything to me.
