Part one of the Salomon Andrée story is finished

Part one of the Salomon Andrée story is finished. Though all pages are made with equal care for composition and color aswel as the actual storytelling, I had to pick one to show here. I choose the return of Andrée and his expedition to Stockholm because I like it very much, don't know why. If you want to find your own favorite page, look at http://www.artcarta.nl

Going steady on Salomon Andrée

Page by page the story of Andrée continues. The prologue - or 'Part one' is ready and to view at http://www.artacarta.nl
Salomon Andrée, Knut Freankel and Nils Strinberg are airborne. Now the drama unfolds itself step by step. I know what is comming but I'm still curious how it will develop.

Salomon Andree rivisited


Started all over again with the story of Salomon Andrée and his companions, the unfortunate balloonists who attempted to cross the North Pole with his balloon.
This first page took me 2 day's to get it wright. Sometimes it seems that the first page is the hardest.
Before I made a shortstory of this, now L will try to telle the full story with juicy details and many drawings.

The shadow project

Me and my shadow
Strolling down the avenue
Oh, me and my shadow
Not a soul to tell our troubles to …

A song by Whispering Jack Smith, where it all started with

Today I set the first step of the 'shadow project'. I will try to find writers to write dialogs for the shadow men, thus inspire me to make drawings. I'm hoping of a lot of response from all over the world. If you want to know more, look at artacarta.nl
So if you read this, think, write and send and don't forget to spread the word. I will do so to by every medium I can lay my hands on.

At last my website Artacarta has a total new face: Simple and clear. It is now possible to see a story in thumbs real good and when you klick on the thumbs you get an image which you can read without your reading glasses. It's very funny to see recent story's like the Collyer Brothers together with my first one 'Geluksvogels.
