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.

7th June 1980
A picture of me at my birthday party organized by Blue Band showing the reason why I never participate in competitions anymore.
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.
