Aimée de Jongh

Aimée de Jongh studies animation in Rotterdam. Her style is a mix of manga and the francobelgian school. She published her first work in 2004, when she participated in Fanthology, a contest for Dutch manga artists. Since then, she is a member of the dojinshi circle Cheesecake! Studio, through which she publishes her manga stories, like her 60-page comic 'Stillborn'.

Her semi-autobiographical 'Aimée TV' comics have been collected in a book by BeeDee in 2006. For the magazine Sevendays, she makes the continuity comic 'Paralleia'. Additionally she teaches seminars in drawing manga, anime and comics. Since 2007 she is making animations, from short movies to leaders. She also makes illustrations for HP/De Tijd, OOR, Het Parool and Brabants Dagblad.

She has exhibited her work in the Singer Museum in Laren and in the Kulturmuseum in Oslo. On 28 October 2011 she presented her comic book '2017' in Gallery Lambiek. She made the comic with comedian Thijs van Domburg, who wrote the story as a prequel to his 2012 theatre show. Starting in January 2012 she has a daily comic strip in newspaper Metro, called 'Snippers'.
