Spookkasteel Nulland (1975 – 1980)

Hitting my teen years I became fascinated by violence and horrors, impressed by bloody world war and medieval stories. I think for children depicting horrific scenes is a way to overpower hefty emotions that follow seeing ones.

Punk vs The Rolling Stones (1975 – 1980)

I remember drawing this one. In the hit news there was this debate about punk defeating traditional rockers like the Rolling Stones. Must have triggered my childish mind.

Soldier (1975 – 1980)

I was into cartoons for years and this one is no exception.

Kiss (1975 – 1980)

This one might have done in 1978 or earlier, around the release of ‘I was made for loving you’. As a child I was crazy about them, also because of the funny costumes and because I liked rock very much. A typical kid’s drawing still.

Abstract flower (1970 – 1975)

Abstract flower (1970 – 1975)  One of the earliest works I ever made. In retrospective I rather like it and of late some etsy-like website even thought it to be cute if they would include this one in their catalogue. I don’t know. Many of my child’s drawings look as such but this one looks […]

Sint en Piet 2 (1970 – 1975)

Until 8 years of age I was fond of Sinterklaas and Piet.

This just might be the first figurative drawing I ever made. I remember the instruction at Kindergarten to colorize the paper with colored pencils, put black oil pastel (wasco) on top of it and then do the sgraffito thing.

Abstract – 13-09-73

One of the earliest art works I ever made.
