Description

Daan Jippes is the master of recreating Carl Barks� style Disney Ducks, and he has re-inked all the stories from 1966 to 1974 which Barks then made, both the scripts and layouts. If you compare Barks' layouts into the inked stories what then the other studio artists at Western Publishing (Strobl, Kay, etc) made, you will notice many mistakes and "short paths" those studio artists did. Only Jippes made his inked artwork as close as possible what Barks draw into his layouts, and besides Jippes is the only who made Ducks looking as close as possible with Barks' style! �

Here's the 5th page from Carl Barks� "A Day in a Duck's Life" he made 1970 and Jippes inked in 1999. Check also the additional photo to see how much the artwork is shrank into the printed�book Korakarumin Ruhtinas (still slightly bigger than normal weekly Disney comic books).

In Jippes' artwork there is always his blue pencil draft in background and ink on top of it. If you�ll buy Barks' or Rosa's comic book artwork, you will always get plain inked artwork. Blue color pencil lines are creating nice depth into original artwork and anyway they are disappearing when taking photos for printing.

The story has been published so far in 14 countries:https://inducks.org/story.php?c=H+98085

This is how Daan described his work to ink those Barks' stories:
"...I feel obliged to point out the agenda I and my Dutch and Scandinavian publishers tried to follow in this endeavour to redo all of these Barks-pencilled stories: to stay as close to what Barks MIGHT have had in mind�when visualizing �via his scribbles- his stories.However presumptuous that may sound.
Yeah, I could`ve executed them MY way. But SO did Kay Wright, Bob Gregory, Tony Strobl and all these guys commissioned by Western Publishing in the 1970`s. So what would`ve been the point?
I`m known for being a style-chameleon, and not ashamed of it. The extra pressure to stay within the graphic realm of a given style, in this case Barks`, I particularly treasure. It`s only when I work �just� to put a visual idea across, like when I`m storyboarding, that my drawing descends into my �own�style ( the notion that not many eyes will scrutinize it helps, I guess)."
