Clowns


Painted with dyes in 1981. The white paint touches have hardened with time.

  1. Since the times of the Disney classics I haven't seen anything as enchanting as this!
    You are a genius!

  2. A waste of time, as usual...
    No...It was a warm up for a children's book.

  3. A warm up?
    I suspect anyone who reads that is going to feel a little inadequate...most definately including me.

    I love the clowns! They look so concentrated in what they're doing.

  5. I need to clarify what I meant for "warming up".
    I never know the style in which I am going to draw a project, so, I usually make a complete illustration to see if I will like to spend a year or so drawing that way. In the case of this book, I must have done 6 or 8 complete pieces of artwork, then I started to work on the originals for publication.This was done in my free time because by then we were opening our animation studio, Klactoveesedstene Animations.

  6. How do you choose a style for a project? Have you ever made a style which you didn't like at all but the client wanted you to do?

  7. I feel slightly less inadequate now, thank you (but not much less).
