From very early on Hans could just not stop drawing and painting; during his whole period in school this has left its tracks. In spite of his passion for drawing and painting Hans did decide to follow an education in fysiotherapy. Hans did not finish it. Afterwards he did a number of professions. One of them was a job as a clerk at several courts. The love of drawing and painting always remained present. Meanwhile he joined the art painters association in Maarssen.
Nowadays he has had many expositions in several countries. And in 2005 he will have an exposition in Monterey, Californië… The subjects that interest Hans speak for itself and are situated in sunny (French) regions, in almost forgotten times. You will also find history in his art. And cars. Of course. His sometimes bizarre fantasies is being expressed in one-page-comics. He generally works with crayons that can endlessly stand the test of time.

Gag Clickie Award : Jean-Marc van Tol
[ Clickburg Webcomic Award ]
There also is a special award ceremony at the comicfestival Stripfestijn!
At 11:50 Jean-Marc van Tol (Fokke & Sukke) will be given the Clickburg Webcomic Award (Clickie) at the podium at the comicfair (June 5) for his comiclog Poepoe.nl. His comiclog has won the award for best online gagstrip. The award is an initiative from the Clickburg foundation, which sets to promote the medium webcomics in Holland as its goal. Jean-Marc van Tol will receive the award form René van Densen (Stichting Clickburg) and president of the jury Jeroen Mirck (Comicbase.nl).
From the jury: Last year many Dutch comic artists started a daily webcomic, but nobody gave it such a multi-purpose interpretation as Van Tol did. The artist of Fokke & Sukke has put all his conventions overboard and has given the medium of webcomics a new, fresh impulse.

'Een gelukkige hand' is partly a documentary on the life of the comic an cartoon artist Peter van Straaten and partly a fictitious history which is based on the Agnes character of Peter van Straaten.
The film takes the works of Peter van Straaten and the manner to which he exposes the interhuman exchanges and the happiness and misfortune as a starting point. Which has its effect in: the married life, work, the political life, the love between parents and children.
The documentary, the drawings and the drama are tangled up in an organic way. In the documentary part of the film we see the artist Peter van Straaten who is followed closely in the Netherlands and Italy. Here we can also see his drawings and cartoons. The drama part is a fictitious history in which Agnes is personified by the actress Renee Fokker.

The two cinemathographic meetings will be preceded at 21:00 by a talk by Pieter Sandijk, specialist in underground comics. Pieter did also have an underground comics exposition at the Comic festival in 2003 at the CBK [the Center for Visual arts].
Last year the film American Splendor had received a nomination with the Oscars for best scenario and it had won the price of cinematographic critics in Cannes.
American Splendor is not a simple comic adaption. This film of Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini balances between the various genres and describes the life of Harvey Pekar, a completely ordinary man who takes his life as a starting point to make a comic strip. The camera and art-direction accurately follows the esthetics of comics and sometimes the actors yield their places to the real characters whom they incarnate. This film, which received in the FIPRESCI price of international movie criticics in Cannes, proofs it: with a little imagination it is possible to make a history of heroship out of every single life.

Parking:
As the motor vehicle traffic is restricted in the downtown area of Dordrecht and because of its many one-way roads, it is preferable to park your car in one of the multistorey parking lots of the city. Or to use the carpark located behind 'Energiehuis' (close to the mill, at top right only just not on the citymap). You can station your car for free at the carpark of 'Energiehuis'. From here on you can take the bus (line 20/20P) to the downtown area (that will cost you only a bus ticket).
The routes towards the multistorey parking lots, and the numbers of still available parking spaces are clearly indicated along side the roads in downtown Dordrecht. Click here for the opening hours and the tariffs (that's the website of the city of Dordrecht).
Public transport:
This is also a very handy possibility since you can easily go to the town of Dordrecht by train or bus. From central station it will take you about ten to fifteen minutes to walk to the Scheffersplein. You can also travel by bus. There is a large bus-stop station located besides the central station of Dordrecht. Many of the buses do stop at the Spuiboulevard located at the edge of the centre. The bus line number 20 is the line which really enters in the downtown area.
