From the website I found through happy famous artists:
Does this painting look familiar? The chances that you have seen it before are pretty high. The chances you also know that its name is "Tina" are a bit lower. The chances that you know anything about the artist who created it are close to zero.
I never knew that these images were published in "de Lach", a very shabby shady shoddy Dutch magazine in the sixties. I don't think I ever even saw a copy, but I do remember that the parents of a girl in my class had a subscription. The things one remembers... This was the girl who knew all about sex before anybody else did.
New R.A.M episode, about the graphic novel. Interviews with Will Eisner, Art Spiegelman, Craig Thompson and Dominique Goblet. The narrated in between parts are in Dutch. The stream hasn't yet been uploaded to the website, but you can acces it here.

'fietsenstalling' at Amsterdam Central Station-eye candy I suppose for the guys who worked there!
Ram gezien!! Ik was helemaal door dolle. Het boek van Spiegelman wat ik van jullie kreeg stond er mooi op. Wat een aardige man trouwens. Zaterdag is er een herhaling!
Posted by: erica at November 8, 2004 12:49 PM*cough* - please allow me to correct you on this one - the name of the painting you show is not "Tina", but "Woodland Goddess".
BTW - if anyone has a copy of "De Lach" lying around I would be very interested in optaining it.
