xBLgRwAB - This Is Not Art

Maaike Hartjes' This Is Not Art is a long-running, deeply personal comic series that began in 1995, offering intimate diary-style vignettes from the artist's life. Published through various small presses, Hartjes' work is celebrated for its raw, confessional tone and deceptively simple, charmingly hand-drawn art. With only one issue formally collected under this title, the series is a cornerstone of Dutch autobiographical comics, capturing the quiet, often humorous moments of everyday existence.
