house work

I am working almost as hard as Metin!

sneeker junk takes catwalk course in fitness studio

Great article. Ellen says the catwalk course improved her mood. The article improved mine, I almost feel like taking a course myself. Although I'm pretty good at walking on high heels already, or at least I used to be. I hardly ever wear high heels anymore. Back in my art school days I used to buy wild second hand pairs. Stiletto's were obligatory around 1980. I spent my best high heels day ever shopping all day in Amsterdam, on speed. Swear to god, it was the only time in my whole life that I have ever taken speed. But speed and high heels go together very well, I can tell you that. Otherwise I am very clean, I haven't even had a drop of alcohol in weeks. Went to Betty's this week, ordered a soda water.

Thomas Verbogt

This is my first Tintin ever! (see the page)

Inez van Dullemen

Once again, a mysterious drawing. The eagle carries the author's mother, in a dream. But this scene is not mentioned in the review. I never see the article before it's printed, I basically do whatever I want. Which must puzzle the reader, sometimes. I would think.

Barber van de Pol

Once again, running behind the facts. I'll give you two portrayed authors at the same time. And not only running in illustration. Read my blog and you won't envy me, sigh.

Gerrit Krol

The article's headline reads "The Demonized Head", which makes you wonder whether that applies to the drawing or to the article... I'm very glad the drawing fits though, I didn't have much more than the book title "Devil's Fare" to go on. But I did a very stupid thing this time. Or rather, I didn't do a very stupid thing. I always upload my file to my ftp, and put a little 600 pixel preview on a web page linking to the file. This time I forgot the link @#$%^&*!! So I'm afraid they printed the 600 pixel jpg, but I am kind of hoping somebody has been bright enough to find the file even without the link. I can't really tell from the digital newspaper. Anybody care to tell me if the paper version turned out okay?

Stephan Enter

I wanted to upload today's newspaper when I realized I forgot last week's. So sorry! Here's the page.

HJA Hofland

I am a wholesaler in old men.

dutch woman

My wonderful editor Ellen de Bruin wrote a book about Dutch women. She had me draw one for the newspaper. To see the page, click.

Louis Paul Boon

And the next one, now you are up to date. Remind me to do this again on Saturday, when my next piece will be in the NRC. More about Louis Paul Boon here.

Vonne van der Meer

I am so sorry, I have been neglecting Clogwork a little. I tell myself I am too busy, but that is nonsense, it only takes a couple of minutes to upload something. More about Vonne van der Meer here.

amateur psychologist

The article says that a quarter of the working population in Holland has a personal coach. And 40% of the managers. And I take it everybody is behaving accordingly. The invasion of the body snatchers. Oh, the days where we divided the world in socio's and arti's. We have lost the battle. (See the ilustration in the layout)

JJ Voskuil

His eyebrows are a tad too dark to my linking. The sketches were better. But I could hardly see the monitor in front of me while I was doing the colouring. I was suffering from a terrible cold, it's not much better even now.

goodbye Rita

Rita Verdonk in the Beeeldende Kunstjournaal. (What a fantastic English sentence.) I met her once, she wore this exact same skirt.

the good-humoured condom

Ik zie zo vaak verliefde paartjes
even stilstaan voor mijn huis:
Daar woont Weemoedt zegt de jongen.
En het meisje slaat een kruis.

To see Lévi Weemoedt on the page, visit my blog.

Connie Palmen

This Connie is in today's NRC, you can see the page on my personal blog. AFTh is on another page, but it would be a bit much for Clogwork to show him too. I had hoped Connie Palmen would be printed a little bigger, but her drawing turns out to be for the "reading club" column, which always just has a small illustration. They never tell me these things. Maybe I have a sketch that would work better at stamp size, if I do, I'll send it to my editor, to print it with next week's column. She'll be reprinted three more times I think.

Désanne van Brederode

I almost feel guilty, here on Clogwork between all these cartoonists. I have to confess I have a secret desire to one day do a comic strip too. I know exactly how I would want it to look, but boy, it would be much work. Désanne van Brederode (visit my personal blog to see her in today's newspaper) could be one of the characters. And the author I drew yesterday could be in it too. Now all I need is a story. Looking at the two of them, that would be the easy part.

girl

I complained about the lack of girl contributors here, and now I am the excuse girl! (thank you, Metin) The girl in the image is Vrouwkje Tuinman, she was in last Friday's NRC, only accidently in black & white, that was a pity.
