Born in 1966. Voracious reader of comics since the tender age of three, drawing comics since age seven. Went to art school in Maastricht in 1985 until it got too boring. Got aquainted with the world of fanzines and started self-publishing his works in 1988. 13 Issues of Mandragoora with solo art and 7 of Onbegrijpelijke Verhalen with collaborations through the mail with other works, a full length comic series, Dr Molotow (5 volumes) and numerous one-shots (Schnucki & Ötzi with Chris Crielaard being the most remarkable) are the result, as well as contributions to various international publications. Recieved the Best New Talent prize at the Haarlem festival of 1992. Current projects are the anthology Thank god it's Ugly (7 issues) and the comic Troglodytes (two books) and the new Machina Mundana and Stigmata books, which are inspired respectively by fringe science and medieval imaginery. Received an art grant in 2001, allowing him to relax on his illustration and review work as to explore new ways of creation. Took up sculpting again, recreating the Troglodytes world in three dimensions. Art show and comic-related travels to Denmark, France, Italy, Germany, Belgium England and Slovenia. Favorite artists include Benito Jacovitti, Jacques Tardi, Keichi Ohta, Richard Corben, Roy Tompkins, Mack White, August Sander, many outsider artists and the late- Gothic painters. Alchemy and crackpotology are very inspirational to him today.
