Terschelling, Netherlands-based Bart de Graaff has got good hands and an imagination to match, as evidenced by the copious renderings in his book. With expressive work spanning graphics, transportation, and conceptual design of the sort you'd find in a sci-fi movie, de Graaff could be mistaken for a grizzled vet of the design field. Which makes his personal statement all the more surprising:
I'm a junior designer based in the Netherlands. I haven't had any education in design school yet because I'm 16 so still in Comprehensive/High School.My aim is to apply to a car design course abroad the Netherlands (IED or Coventry), push through the hard work and practise to achieve a high work standard when I finish my current school.
Bart, as far as I know you haven't paid to place a Coroflot employment query. But for chrissakes someone get this kid a job.

Just imagine how he'll progress in just a couple of years. Props!
Kid's got mad skills. Few years of working on basics like perspective and proportion and he will be a beast.
Do you think that art school or other design education could not only teach him basic principles but also limit him/his perception of creation process?
Wow. A legend on the horizon.
go go go Bart.
I'm a graduate from Coventry in Industrial Design. With that portfolio I've just seen on screen yu'll have no problem getting Tim Ball to recruit you.. Best of luck buddy.
You've got awesome skills and natural ability Bart. School will teach you much more beyond ability to draw. In fact school will not teach you how to draw at all as you already know that. School will teach you where we came from, why we do things the way we do them, and most importantly, will give you just enough pressure and constant critique of your work to bring out the best in you.
After school you will keep on learning on the job as each job is different (schools don't teach you that).
Go Bart!
Barely? He is not. In the Netherlands you have to be 18 to get your license.
@Jakub i suppose that depends on the school and the instructors.
