As a child I fell in love with comics. And soon I wanted to be able to draw cartoons and comic characters myself. One of the first drawing-ambitions I can remember is that I tried to copy ‘Lucky Luke’ when I was 3 or 4 years old. Because my father and my brother had quite some solid drawing skills as well they could teach me the first lessons, which was motivating as well. That’s how I got into drawing.

I do not have the ambition to create super-elaborated fine art drawings. I like the spontaneous flow, chaos and helping the characters to evolve. But it’s them who are the actors, not me. To me it’s ok to stay quick & dirty on the paper, because the pace helps to stay in the moment and in touch with the little creatures.
