Biography
After finishing my degree in theology in 1999, I decided I'd much rather pursue a career in comics. I already made my debut with the self-published How To Get Over Your Ex?, and was lucky enough to get a job in world-famous comics store Lambiek, where I was webmistress for the site lambiek.net.
In 2002 I became stepmother to three children, and this gave me inspiration for the series Kinderleed Komix, of which one issue, The Riddle of Nine, is translated into English and can be read on this site.
With the experience I got publishing my own comics, I founded Senoeni Comics Productions in 2003, a publishing house for young talent, focusing on the work of comic artists under the age of 18. Later on, I focused these activities in the site dailydanger.nl.
I have made comics for several Dutch magazines, most notably Mijntje for Zij aan Zij and Isa for Yes. I have also worked for newspaper NRC.Next and am still making monthly comic reports for newspaper Trouw. In 2005, I wrote a book on Dutch comics together with Kees Kousemaker.
Apart from making comics, I frequently work as a cartoonist at conventions and board-meetings.
In 2008 I met my husband, Yiri T. Kohl, who is also a comic artist. We live together in an Amsterdam apartment with two cats and a lot of projects.
In 2010 I made my official debut at publishing house Meinema, with the comic Filosofie In Beeld. It deals with the history of Western philosophy in a colorful (colors by Yiri!) and playful style, and met with a decent amount of success in the Netherlands. Currently Yiri and I are working on a second book in the same style, this time dealing with religion. |
