i began drawing when i was about eight... starting out by copying
spiderman (my all-time favorite super-hero at the time) from the 80's marvel comic books: the amazing spiderman and peter parker...
i learned a lot in this period just by studying comic anatomy... around the age of 13 i stopped drawing all together (except for the scribbles in my school notebooks when i was bored)... when i was 17 i first saw joe madureira's battle chasers... because of his work i was really inspired to start drawing comics again... since then, (i hope) i've developed my own style and i also started using the computer to color my pieces... i decided to display my art on-line to share it with other like-minded artists... first i used www.renderosity.com and www.renderotica.com (i still upload some work here every once and a while)... people started taking interest in my work and asked me whether i did commissions... well i do, so it was time for a more serious website and i created www.supafly.nl, my own private little space on the world wide web...

i get inspired by a shit-load of things... movies, comics, websites, design, music, other artists... you name it! so to list all my influences would be plain stupid... but here are a few things or people that are worth giving credit to...

joe madureira
simply the god of comics... at least he used to be... after his failed adventure over at the game company trilunar he fell from the face off the earth again! but i still flip through the mighty pages of battlechasers on a daily basis...

humertos ramos
his style is the shit... he brings the graffiti style into his comics and that is a garantied hit for me... crimson was good... out there is even better!

j.r.r. tolkien
now this was a man with fantasy! middle-earth is an endless source of inspiration for me... from the great eagles of the misty mountains to the galadhrim in caras galadhon in lothlórien, from the cute little hobbits in the shire to the dark lord high up in barad-dűr... i hope i will have drawn them all before the end of my days!

chicks
big boobied girls rock! need i say more...

justin m cohen

his color pieces are just slamming! he's my main motivation to keep pushing my cg skills... he has worked on a few transformer merchandise that's definintely worth checking out... i'm proud to say i can write him down as one of my online buddies!

anime/manga

although i don't consider myself an anime artist, these guys still got some pretty nifty tricks up their sleeves!

here are some photos of yours truly to put a face behind the name...


i'm not a person that keeps a daily journal (my life's just too boring), and i'm not much of a writer as well... so don't expect this journal to be updated frequently, but if i got something real important or exciting to report i'll write it down here...
