Sled dogs
Komaksiut's Arctic Prince Igor, our first Siberian husky
a sled dog virus caught in the seventies, taking care of, training and racing
with those beautiful dogs became an
inexhaustible source of inspiration
the first pen-drawings were meant as illustrations for the club-magazine of Mushing Holland;
for ten years I have been chief-editor and
illustrator of MusH, periodical of the Dutch Sled
dog racing association
my first drawings with the Rotring Rapidoliner which enabled me by pointing technique to create grey tones,
which could be applied by most printing-processes, were used for window bills and charters for sled dog races
and have been published for years in TRAIL of the Arbeitsgesellschaft für Schlittenhundesport Deutschland (AGSD),
in Clubnachrichten of the Deutscher Club für nordische Hunde (DCNH),
Mush with P.R.I.D.E. (AGSD, DSSV, SHC and TCE) and in Mushing (USA).
