Biografie
Born on the land of Groningen and raised on the sand of Drenthe, the Netherlands. Zuidlaren wore out my childhood.
In my youth I was already writing. I remember being very disappointed that my story was not made into a movie when I had sent it to a broadcaster. But always I kept writing. Short stories, long stories, fiction, non fiction and poetry even. Through Vielsalm (Belgium), I ended up in Groningen, the greenest town in the Netherlands.
And so long I can read I read European strips, which are essentially the Graphic Novel sized comics by Marvel. And for a vacation to Austria, my parents thought it might be a good idea to buy some European strips for me. Then I had something to do in the car. Between those strips was also a Fantastic Four comic. And the seed had been planted.
The seed developed even more when I spoke to someone who had been making comics for a while himself. He said to me: "Why don't you just write stories yourself?" After these words I started writing comic scripts. And in 2010 that turned into three series...
At this moment, Ranjit, Dimitri, Jorg and myself started Drop Comics. Drop Comics is a burning fire of creativity in which we will try to develop four of the best and most beautiful stories in words and pictures of the Netherlands and Europe.
My biggest wish is to write wonderful stories, which may be in a Graphic Novel, a book, or perhaps as a short story. I want to try all forms, with the ultimate goal to write the best story ever.
