Description

In 1982 I met Mr. Julsing at a comic convention. At my request he made me a drawing of Wellington Wish, using a marker. The first draft (a very nice drawing, in my opinion) was to my amazement immediately torn to pieces.
Mr. Julsing seemed to struggle to get the character, which he probably hadn't drawn for about ten years, right.
I was very happy with the result. I put it in a frame and hung it on the wall of my study. It became bleached by the sun.
After a year I wrote Mr. Julsing a letter, enclosing the bleached drawing, asking him if maybe he could do it again in pencil.
Some months later I received an enveloppe with three drawings: the one I sent him, a new headshot in pencil, to replace the first one and this fully inked drawing.
I was so happy! It was more then I could hope for. I really liked the personalized text and his beautiful lettering. I also liked the fact that he drew this character in his new style, which he used for telling fairy tales. This drawing was made in 1984. At that time he was working on the beautiful story of "The Blue Light"(Het Blauwe Licht), which was published in Okki.
I still am gratefull for his great kindness.
