About the author

Dutch illustrator Erik Kriek studied illustration and graphic arts at the Rietveld Academy for Art and Design in Amsterdam. Kriek has achieved (inter)national acclaims for his ‘silent’ comicbook series ‘ Gutsman’ and has received the ‘Stripschapsprijs’ for his entire ouvre. Kriek’s original style is often described as having a feel for ‘post-modern irony, infused with a retro-comic, pop-culture sensibility’.
