I used to draw a lot.

When I was at university I illustrated a student paper and made cartoons and illustrations for several publications. Those days are over. The drawing material is not within reach and for some reason what used to be a satisfying hobby is not even an activity any longer.

I still have the web pages that I constructed back in 1994 (over 10 years ago !) and never updated since [but moved to another provider after I wrote this page initially]. And that contain a couple of logos and cartoons.

The page with the cartoons contains a litle poem that I picked up from a bathroom door in a cafe and the cartoon that was inspired on that poem.

Birdie birdie in the sky
you dropped something
in my eye.

But I don't weep
nor do I cry
I'm just glad that cows
don't fly

The other day I received a mail from an artist from The Workhouse who stumbled upon this picture and wanted to use it for the creation of a postcard. I’m easy and cheap. The only thing I ask when people use my cartoons is a copy of the thing they use it for. This artist used it for a postcard and this morning I received ‘the product’ in my surface mail box.

I really appreciate the way they used the cartoon.

(Oh…. by the way.. if you ever need a cartoon… contact me)
