Born on a snowy day during March 1975. Pisces, wood rabbit, lover of hotpants. I come from a multi-cultural village in the north of Holland called Hoogezand. The schools were mixed with different complexions. Also in the neighbourhood there was this variety of people. It brought other ambience with it. Often warm and above all friendly. I lived my youth intensely through the '80s. A very colourful time full of good music, movies, TV series and the japanese MSX-2 home computer from my dad. It so happened that from the year 2004 my pencil work on paper became that of which is the base of what I do today. Encouraged by the game industry, artists as Luis Royo, Marcus Gray and the magnificent captures of Andrew Blake on the screen. I like to keep my work calm. Therefore I use just a few colours on a drawing. Otherwise it may get too busy when look at it. The lines of the woman are the subject to watch, not what is happening all around her.
