1. My best Duck painting so far.

It is based on a cover made by the Dutch Disney artist Daan Jippes for the Dutch Carl Barks comic book series De beste verhalen van Donald Duck (The best stories of Donald Duck), #48, Donald Duck als spokenjager (Donald Duck as ghosthunter).

The cover is based on the main story of that comic book album, The Ghost of the Grotto (W-DD 159).

2. Daisy, Donald and a little nephew in a gag.

3. Tribute to the legendary Disney artist and writer Carl Barks.

I made this drawing for the intropage of the world's largest website on everything Carl Barks, http://www.cbarks.dk. The idea came from its webfounder, Peter Kylling, from Denmark. It depicts The Master sitting at his desk, getting ideas for his stories from his trusted Disney characters (most of which Barks created himself).

Check the hyperlink below to see how this drawing was made:

This (new) coloured version I made in 2006.

4. Carl Barks is Number One!

I made this drawing for the intropage of another great Danish Carl Barks fansite, http://www.carlbarks.ws. The concept was created in conjunction with the site's founder, Alex Nielsen from Denmark.

5. Trouble at Uncle $crooge McDuck's Money Bin.

I made this drawing for a Donald Duck Story Contest at the Dutch Donald Duck/Walt Disney fansite McDuck.nl. The winner, Bernard Slaa, got my original drawing as the first prize.

6. Lawyer Duck - Donald as a lawyer.

7. Lawyer Duck - Initial pencil sketch.

9. Donald Duck - Pencil sketches.

In my opinion, to become a true master yourself, you will first have to study, analyse and mimic the works of the masters in your chosen field.

Here I have tried to copy the art of different great Duck-artists to improve my own style. In this first example I have used the Carl Barks style of the Dutch Disney artist Daan Jippes.

10. Here I have used the art of the Argentine Disney artist Santiago Scalabroni Ceballos for inspiration.

11. Víctor José Arriagada Ríos, also known as 'Vicar', from Chilli.

14. Daniel Branca from Argentina.

In 1992 I made a first version of this drawing (see below).

This pencil sketch is based on an idea I got in the early 1990's (see below). It features Donald, who is being watched while reading by Donald Duck heads in a painting.

22. This is my original concept drawing (from around 1992 or so).

23. This is the final drawing that was made by the Dutch Disney artist and Art Director Ed van Schuijlenburg, which is based on my drawing from 2003 (see above). It was published on the cover of the Dutch Donald Duck weekly magazine (DD #42, 2003). It has also been used as cover art for other Disney magazines in Denmark, Finland, Germany, Norway and Sweden.
