comic for Nationaal Historisch Museum
The website “X Was Hier” will be launched this week. The Nationaal Historisch Museum made a selection of 45 important locations in Holland, each with it’s own history. 45 comic-artists made their own interpretation of the historic events. I made a comic for Ouwerkerk, a village in Zeeland, where the Watersnoodramp of 1953 took away many lives. This is the comic. Check out the website for more!
Newspaper week!
This week I appeared in two Dutch newspapers, which is awesome, so I thought I’d share it here!
Sunday: De Waalwijker – 15 mei 2011
Waalwijk is the city where I grew up in, in Noord-Brabant. The article is about my graduation. Apparently that’s big news. I liked the way the journalist mentions my Godspeed You Black Emperor LP! Also, I’ve never seen a title THIS EPIC in a newspaper. Have you?
Tuesday: NRC Next – 17 mei 2011
My comic “Mariko” was published today, because I won the third prize in the Benelux Beeldverhalen Prijs! I will post the original pages as well, because the colours are simply better that way… I’m really glad I won the 3rd prize. So many good comic-artists competed this year, I thought I wouldn’t even make the top 10!
Here are the original pages, with better colours.
The prize ceremony will be held on June 4th, but I’m in France at that time so I won’t be able to make it. I will check out the exhibition of the best contestants though.,.. and you should too. Great work!

Old interview…
From 2009, this interview appeared in de Volkskrant. I found it on my computer the other day and I don’t remember uploading it…. So here it is, 2 years later 😉
