Final brush strokes
Finally, only one more passing of black, and black only. That means that hopefully I can deliver both “Surfer Dude” and “The End” to the shop to ‘expose’… Hopefully the Year of the Horse will be good to me…

Into the light
The time between T-shirts and framed canvas I entered a competition where the winner would be able to paint their design on a wall in SoHo, London… I did receiev the letter that I won, but I was on a study course in UC Berkeley, California. The prize then went …
Corvette
Finding inspiration is not always easy before the internet became what it is today. I do have several other sketches from cars, especially oldies (another personal story related to that) but this is the only one I managed to make. Two panels, two view points, one car with beautiful lines…
Jive
Another large one, this time 1m8 x 1m8, and simple black and white… Strong, and reminding me of a sketch with which I entered a competition in 1998. I did win that one, but because of absence abroad, I never got to execute it. Hope you like it

Superman (Ditch Lois) 1997
This is the first painting I made, still a bit rough, but for me the beginning of something new. Donated to me by my parents, as a graduation present. With their help I was able to build my own easel (they did not have easels for large frames), stretch and …
