KUNSTSTRIPBEURS 2015

I'm participating in this year's Kunststripbeurs this saturday (21st of march) in the Nicolaikerk, Utrecht.

Doors open at 10 o'clock. Apart from my other work I will bring a special leporello of my short story 'Eindelijk bevrijd'. A numbered (25 copies) and signed edition with some extras. And a signed print for those who will buy 'Scherven'. Hope to see you there!

Littekens

I've started coloring the sequel on 'Scherven', it will be called 'Littekens'. First I've done a prologue, here are some images.

Uit het Laagland

Besides 'Scherven' I'm also working on a smaller project called 'Uit het Laagland'. You could call it a Graphic Letter (instead of a Graphic Novel). The beautiful script is written by Oliver Kerkdijk.

It's a letter from a young man from France, called Vincent, to his grandfather. He is following the track of is grandpa by bicycle from France to the Netherlands. On that journey he discovers the places where is granddad has lived.

The story will be drawn in warm grey with red and blue accents.

Op Missie

October 2014 'Op Missie' was published by Strip 2000. The book contains 10 stories made by 10 authors about War-veterans on a mission. I was one of the participants and made a story about Ton Herbrink. A 96 year old veteran who fought together with the Allied Forces against the Germans and helped to liberate Holland as a commander of the Prinses Irene Brigade.

He never spoke about his war experiences until he visited Nromandy, 40 years later. So my story starts there and is called 'Eindelijk Bevrijd' ("Liberated at last').

Every artist also has drawn his own cover, so 10 stories about 10 war-veterans made by 10 authors in a book with 10 different covers: 'Op Missie'.

Currently I'm working on a special limited edition, a Leporello, with my story, extra drawings and signed and numbered. More about it soon.
