More posters


Two weeks ago I posted an entry about my beginnings as a commercial artist and about the posters that I did almost 20 years ago for VerkerkeReproducties.
Here are some more  posters painted between 1993 and 1997. This is a selection from the various poster genres that I was doing at that time.

When I was young I believed that a proper commercial artist has to be able to cover different subjects and types of illustration, and I did my best to develop the necessary skills in order to achieve this aim.
Nowadays, after I have tried all of that, I must say that I am happy that I have found my own “voice”, which is, I believe, the ultimate purpose of this journey.

  1. Wow, what a wide range of art styles. It must have really stretched you as an artist. That one with the angel on the motorcycle makes me laugh. I don't know why. :-)

    1. That angel on the motorcycle makes me laugh as well. It is so wonderfully stupid! I can't remember how I came to this idea. Perhaps it was an idea that came from one of the Verkerke art directors.

  3. I am very impressed with your range. They are all amazing paintings. And I do agree with you that finding your own voice is more important than being a jack of all trades. I also love that motorcycle Fabio angel poster. What was that for?

  4. Curious, what year did you paint the angel on the motorcycle?

    Pater, We have been looking for this picture on the internet since 1997.
    Someone sent this picture to me June of 1997 and it has been on may wall since then. I will leave my email address for you if you would like to contact me later. Thank you.
