Dulieu, Jean (1921-2006). Gregorius, Oehoeboeroe en de Kabouterboom

Thin ball penpoint drawing, Zijpendaal-Arnhem, 8 May 1981. Published as page 37 from in Paulus en het beest van Ploemanàc (Leopold, 1982).

* In the 1980s, all-rounder Dulieu decided to reinvented himself by drawing in thin ballpoint pen, a technique that demanded near-impossible printing conditions. The result: highly detailed and expressive illustrations of remarkable quality.
