My father Huub Slabbers, 1910-2002, was a multi-tasking artist.
Between 1955 and 1975 his main activity was writing and illustrating children’s
books for the international market. After ‘escaping’ school I was his assistent for several years and we worked together on illustration projects. When I look at the Peter and Pat series my flower power influences seem rather obvious.

Tonight was the opening of the exhibition ‘A Perfect Day’ in Amsterdam.
A Perfect Day is a collection of art in the form of drawings with text, with observations,
thoughts and ideas about life, funny, clever, poetic, ironic and hilarious.
A Perfect Day includes the work of more than 50 international artists.
One of my drawings is on the wall,
how low can you go…
Below:
Also a small selection of my ‘Saul Steinberg The New Yorker Cover Collection’ is
an important part of the show.
This was the famous Saulberg quote used to promote this show on the website, invitation etc.:
‘People who see a drawing in the New Yorker will think automatically thats it’s funny
because it is a cartoon. If they see it in a museum, they think it’s artistic; if they find it
in a fortune cookie they think it’s a prediction.’
– Saul Steinberg…

Dutch Design!
When walking in the streets of the beautiful old city of Deventer, the Netherlands I looked down and saw this great typographic solution for a manhole cover.
It’s not signed but an internet search learned that is was designed by ‘Buro BplusB’ as part of a complete street renovation plan for the city.

I sent this drawing some years ago to accompany a new years gift to my Saul Steinberg-friend Sheila.
She was probably expecting Champagne but inside she found a rare (empty) bottle of 1983 Chateau Mouton-Rothschild, with a label illustration by Saul Steinberg, that I found on eBay.
