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).

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!

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.
