Cartoons    

I am not a cartoonist, but every once in a while an idea pops into my head that I quickly turn into a pen drawing. Ideas like that are like free gifts. You don't have to do anything for them. I'm not certain how I would do though, if I had to produce cartoons every day.

To me the difference between a cartoon and an illustration is that cartoons can be scetchy and in a sense flawed from a purely technical point of view, as it's the idea that counts most.

Most texts are in Dutch but when needed English translations are written in this column. Top: The evolution from a primitive animal, over a soccer fan, to a monkey and a modern human. This cartoon was inspired by reports about soccer hooliganism in the news. What's nice about this cartoon is that it's just as relevant now as it was when I made it.
