NEW PAGE UPDATE! Acception

Thanks for everyone who came down or who showed interest in my book ‘Beeld van klei’. I still have some left, let me know if you want one!

Here we have my cover and flyleaf for the book about my dog phobia. It is called "Ze doen niks, hoor!" Which translates to: "They don't do anything, really!" The dogs I've drawn here are some of the breeds that I find the scariest. And yes, Chihuahua's do terrify me.

Simon de Vakkenvuller terug in de schappen, nu als stripheld. Twee decennia na zijn cultstatus in het Nederlandse poplandschap keert Simon de Vakkenvuller terug. Ditmaal in stripvorm.

Whenever I speak about comics in my surroundings and people still respond with: ‘wait… aren’t comics for children…or nerds?’, I feel the utter need to let them know this important message: Comics are cool!

This year, me and Vick gave comic workshops at Bibliotheek Kampen and got to present our new comic book Stripsgewijs. Somehow teaching feels very natural but presenting the book was scary to me! Vick leaded this presentation with his natural charisma, it helped my nerves a lot. Unfortunately, there wasn’t a more “business appropriate” picture of me but this hopefully makes me even more #relatable.
