Henk Kuijpers - 1 Offset Print - Franka - Proefdruk Mega-editie - 2001

The Mega Edition was a publication with the drawing work at life size, photographed as it lay here on the drawing table, seen as if you were looking at the original. So pencil lines, white paint corrections, even sometimes erased earlier versions as they were drawn over on the original as well. There were five stories in three themes: story 14-15 the original ink work, story 15-16 the color work, and story 17 the final ink version.

This is a proof print (on the same drawing board/cardboard I draw on!) of eight pages, two gatherings of four pages each. The main illustration is the plate Market, specially drawn for the Mega Edition, plus 7 vignettes, 1 serigraph design and a pencil drawing. See the photos especially! So many at once—and then an extra print!

The MEGA is large: one sheet is 80 by 59 cm! Full-color 200-gram drawing cardboard, Signed!
