Henk Kuijpers - 1 Original drawing - Franka - Origineel op hard papier - Franka stapt uit Mini (Stripmuseum Groningen) - 2004

Original on stiff paper: Franka steps out of the Mini.

In 2004 the Netherlands StripMuseum in Groningen opened, The Strip: Franka got her own cabinet, a small room with a permanent display. For every artist who received one, an eye-catcher was created where possible. For Franka's piece, a Mini was cut in half, and through a drawing on the wall where that half-car was placed against it, it looked as if she stepped out of the Mini. We included a historical photo, so you can see the effect. Fortunately the half-Mini fit exactly in the freight lift, and I could design the drawing.

Here is the original of that drawing: Franka steps, Bars has already jumped out. Those looking through the windshield could also see the interior, those peering through the door could see a complete Franka standing.

Original; Precisely measured: 60 by 50 cm, ink on drawing cardboard, signed
