COMICS
I create visual stories for research, learning and societal change. Comics and graphic journalism combine image, text, story and humour to make complex ideas accessible, challenge dominant narratives and open new perspectives.
You have a story you want to tell? Let's talk →
RONDOGALAGO | A comic commissioned by the poetry magazine Awater, based on a poem by Maarten Jochems.
The story follows a Rondo dwarf galago through the Tanzanian night, exploring the space between words and images as a place for ecological attention.
Portraits are a long-lasting love... How many school hours spent sketching my friends or teachers? When I draw a portrait or a caricature, a feeling of deep empathy for my model grows.
I work from picture of live. Contact me if you want a portrait of a loved one, or to hire me as a live portraitist for an event, a party or a wedding.
THE MORE-THAN-HUMAN INTERVIEW | A comic in which Mr Buisson, a fictional nonhuman character, interviews a sustainability advocate about her memories and relationship with nature, opening space for new ecological perspectives.
