why-a-duck

from 1985 until 1991 I was one of the team-members who brought ALFRED J.KWAK alive. the others were HARALD SIEPERMANN and dutch entertainer HERMAN VAN VEEN. in some earlier posts I talked about the comic- and tv-series and how it happened. here now are some rare pieces, the first planned comic cover, some comic strip samples and calendar illustrations.

How nice to see OUR Alfred Judocus Kwak! Many children and adults in The Netherlands do know Herman van Veen, this kind and adventurous duck and his friends.
The way history (Nazi) is revealed in a subtle way is one of the greatest contributions of this animation.
Thank you for this magical and unforgettable imprint in the memory of my son and me.

hi sir,

all of those drawings are done with traditional media right?

if it’s not…then i’m just going to let my jaw drop and stare at such works, and be inspired to do something as wonderful as this in traditional media. haha

yes it is all ink outline with nib and brush, colored with feltpen markers and some added gouache
