Welcome to my website. Just click around and have a look the various examples of my artwork. Most of them are representative of my current output, but included are some examples from the beginning of my career. In future, I'll be adding news to the site, and re-publishing, maybe pre-publish, some of my daily strips if I can.

Pre-publication. Updated: August 29st - Next update: September 5th
28.08.08 | ZombieTales #4 is out!
My debut in US-comics is final! Okay, I did just one chapter of six pages and a cover
but nevertheless... ZombieTales #4 'Zaambi' is out... is in store... with those pages
and with that cover. Doing the job felt awesome. I loved it, and working with my editor
Matt Cagnon was great.
The B-cover is mine... the japanese zombie with the samurai-hairdo:

And this is the A-cover:

ZombieTales #4 'Zaambi' published by BOOM!-studios.
And yes, I got a taste for more... if I get the chance.
Comic Book Resources did in interview with the writer of the 'Zaambi'-story, Chris Morgan (scriptwriter of the 'Wanted'-movie ) and his brother Terry Morgan. They say som nice things about the artists. You'll find it here:

31.07.08 | ZombieTales #4 in color
Here's a sample of the way my pages for
ZombieTales #4 have been coloured. Can't show much yet but they look great. Really the flowing light watercolor approach the swift brushy black&white style I used, needed and immediately gives you the feeling of looking at old Chinese and Japanese pictures.
The colors have been done by
Cris Peter from Brazil and I'm sure we will see more of her color-work in the future.
07.07.08 | Nicky Saxx
Starting July 5th Nicky Saxx will be the opening-image of 'De Stripspeciaalzaak',
the website of the Flemish masterorganisation of 49 comicshops in the Dutch-speaking part
of Belgium (this variant of Dutch is also called Flemish) and in The Netherlands
(where they speak Dutch, exept for a very small part in the north where they speak
Frisian next to Dutch). The story behind the image: The last Nicky Saxx adventure
ended with the explosion of a secret rocket-base at the bottom of the ocean. Nicky
Saxx didn't return to the surface. In my vision this wasn't the end of Nicky. She
is washed ashore some desert island and is waiting there until somebody finds her.
30.06.08 | Cover ZombieTales
This is the cover I did for ZombieTales #4 published by BOOM!-studios.
The colors are done by Andrew Dalhouse. I also did the art for chapter 2 of the story. More
information you'll find here. The site of BOOM!-studios (and mine) will also tell you when the
comic is in stores.
18.06.08 | Hardcover luxery trade Nicky Saxx
At the end of August the hardcover luxury trade of 'The adventures of Nicky Saxx' (the later
stories published by Bee Dee-publishers) will be out. This image will be on the cover.
14.06.08 | Storm!

Willem Ritstier and I started a second team for Don Lawrence's Storm-comic, next to
the first team formed by Romano Molenaar, Jorg de Vos and Martin Lodewijk. I will do
the pencils. Publisher DLC is still looking for a colorist/painter.
04.06.08 | ZombieTales

Finished the pages for my US-comics debut. This young Samurai will play a role in the story.
Can't show you more for the moment. But keep in mind: ZombieTales #4 (July) published by
BOOM!-comics.
27.05.08 | Cover-final Nicky Saxx

The cover-final for the new Nicky Saxx-collection. The book will be out at the
Haarlem-comicconvention (7 ;& 8 June). Click the cover for a larger version.
14.05.08 | BOOM!-studios here

No, this isn't Nicky Saxx with glasses and a haircut. I didn't draw this image. The artist is
Gabriel Hardman. It's a panel belonging to one of his comics, the story "Heathentown", a
horror-story written by Corinna Bechko. I just found out about Gabriel's existence. He's really
a great artist. Next to comics he does storyboards for movies in the US. How and
why did I found out about Gabriel? Together with him and another artist I don't know yet I'm
doing a Zombie-tale for BOOM!-studios. A chapter each, Gabriel is doing chapter one and
I'm doing chapter two. And, although Trunk (by Bee Dee publishers) and Nicky saxx
(by Safcomics) have been translated in English to be able to sell foreign rights, and
Dark Horse asked me if I would be interested in doing Star Wars in the future...maybe,
sometime..., this story for BOOM! will be my début in the English language. At the moment
I'm working on the art.

09.05.08 | Trunk
Friday next week, May 16th, the comic "Trunk #1, the unkown soldier" will be published on this
website. Three pages a week, one page in colour, next page in black & white etc. At the
moment writer Willem ritstier and I are working on the second part called "the Preacher".

01.05.08 | Continuon

December the 12th 2007 an Apache-helicopter of the Royal Dutch Airforce ruined the high
voltage power-cables spanning the wide river "de Waal" in the Netherlands. 30.000 Houses in
the countryside, the part of the Netherlands called the "Bommeler- and Tielerwaard,
where without electricity and heating in the freezing cold of winter. One of the pylons
was standing in the middle of river with the cables hanging down into the water.
Continuon, the company which has the responsibility for this power-instalation,
had to repair them as soon as possible under very difficult circumstances. For
their year-report they wanted me to do a comic about the operation. Because there
wasn't a lot of time to finish the art Michiel de Jong inked my pencils. Script was done
by Frank Jonker
and the colours ( only in white and purple, the companycolours of Continuon) by Wilma Leenders.

The Continuon year-report and the comic (sorry, only in Dutch) can be read on-line in PDF-format. Just click:

27.04.08 | Nicky Saxx what and why #4. Nicky's conveyance/ boat
Nicky Saxx lives in a lighthouse on an island near the coast of New England. To get
ashore she uses a classic wooden Italian made Riva-powerboat. These legendary boats
are most often seen in places like the North-Italian lake district, Venice or Monte Carlo.

Her final means of conveyance is one leading to many adventures: her sailing-yacht. The first
one is sinked by the bullets of some slavekeeping cocaine-growers. The second one brings her
on a misty sea where a bunch of Vikings roam on an old longboat for a thousand years, killing
each other in vain because they are always brought back to life by a curse. On this boat she
meets the love of her life, only to find out he is in fact a dangerous international
terrorist who's just into terrorism for the money. And her last adventure starts like
a sailing and diving holiday but ends at the bottom of the sea in the secret rocket-base
of a crazy media-tycoon.
