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.
