Drawing has been part of Jan’s life since he was a very young boy.
Throughout his life, my partner Jan made black and white drawings to “mark” events in his personal life or in history. Some of these drawings are nothing more than abstract doodles
while others tell a whole story.
A few months back Jan had this idea of sharing his drawings with the world.
So recently Jan went through all of his drawings and picked out a few of his favorites.
He made the pen and ink drawings digital et voila … here they are …
So now and then I will post a drawing, hope you’ll enjoy them!
The prints of these drawings are for sale and costs 25, – Euro each.
The drawings are beautiful in a passe-partout and a sober frame.
The prints are available in the section ET CETERA in our online store.
Or simply e-mail me. You can find more information such as what kind of paper we used in our online shop. Occasionally I add new drawings on this page in my blog and
in our online store. Feel free to e-mail me with any further questions.

MARION READING
Black and white pen drawing by Jan Kerkstra
There was a time, long ago, that I was not spending so much time at the computer…
Instead, I read a lot. You could always find me somewhere with a book in my hand. This is a drawing Jan made of me a long time ago.
TATTOO
Now a tattoo is very common, during the time this drawing was made it wasn’t …
This drawing dates from the period when Jan was a medical student in Amsterdam.
It was a time when he got to see a large number of naked people and for the first time saw the human body in all its manifestations …
.
WE RECYCLE
This drawing is all about recycling … and too many cars on the road …
WORLD TRIP
When my partner Jan became 18 one of the first things he bought was a motorcycle. Years later when I met him he still drove one and we made, with me on the back of the motor, many trips.
I remember one trip all the way to Southern Italy via the high mountains of Switzerland.
Anyway … I guess this drawing is about Jan’s big dream …
BOXED IN
This drawing probably shows a period in Jan’s life when he felt extremely boxed in.
