I think they are quite good and rather complimentary to their subjects.

I am not quite understanding what this is, really.
Other than a box of matchbook sized trinkets with tiny Stones faces on them...
Looks like a waste of good hard cash.

According to the website: Matchboxs are leporello books disguised as matchboxes. In collaboration with countless Dutch authors and illustrators, Uitgeverij MatchBoox has been marketing these beautiful works of art on the market for years.

Well, you know as you have been at home: I collect only music, video, books and magazines (a few original pictures too). This is the kind of stuff I never buy but we can enjoy the work by Eric Coolen for free here thanks to Christijanus

I think the prints/portraits are awesome...too bad they are the size of a stamp.
It would make a great poster with the four together...like the header

The picture shared is actually not such bad quality pixel-wise, so you can just print them yourself or have them printed and then you got a poster 😅 think I'll print them in dinA 4 format each and then put them together as a poster or some kind of collage in the same picture frame or so (once I got more wall space 🤣)

Great drawings but a little pricey for me.
