I was into cartoons for years and this one is no exception. I was fond of motor bikes for a short period of time.

Butterfly (1975 – 1980)

Child's drawing by Corne Akkers

A drawing that I made at school I think. The teacher’s sticker for approval still is on the paper.

A cartoonesqe drawing. I must have fascinated by this thing called ‘sex’ pre-teens like me caught a glimpse of.

In my youth I often dreamt of flying in a small airplane, balloons or just by flapping my arms frantically. I remember this drawing expresses these feelings.

Monster (1975 – 1980)

Child's drawing by Corne Akkers

A cartoonesque drawing of a monser. I think it to me and I guess for many young children, drawing scary things is something to overcome anxiety and to take control over, even trying to understand fears.
