I Am Made In December 2021 23
Hello Gabriel. In your career you
have focused on comic arts. What
drew you to this genre?
I always loved comics. When I as
little, I read a lot of Suske en Wiske
and Donald Duck comics. Whenever
I sat in a waiting room, I would wade
through the magazines just to see if
they had any. Reading the stories
was like watching a tiny tv in my
head, and since I like writing my own
stories, I wanted to be able to do
what comic artists did with theirs
and bring my characters and creatures
to life on the page.
So have you always known you
wanted to be a comic artist?
At first, I was just drawing a lot of pictures
because I found it fun. Later, I
learned that people could make money
out of doing what they liked. So, I
took the opportunity to create a career
out of it. Of course, in the early
years, there was some opposition
from my surroundings, but I'm happy
to say that I do get a lot of support
too for choosing this career path.
