I won the First Prize in the 1984 Illustration contest of Cosmopolitan magazine. This lead to an assignment for a poster promoting movie for the youth, and that's how the youth novel publishers got interested in my work.
When I took part in selections for the yearly Dutch Illustrators Club exhibitons in 1990, 1991, 1992 qnd 1993, in the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, my work received a First Prize in 1991, a First Prize in 1992, one of the two nominations for the VakJury Jaarprijs 1992 and a shared First Prize in 1993 for Book Illustrations.
Wherever suitable, I prefer to make the typography with a free hand.

NB: I stopped making illustrations for youth novel covers when the publishers' new managers convinced the publishers that illustrators should be offered a lesser and lesser payment for their work. Not to speak about their ideas about the copyrights of the illustrators.
