Nix

Nix was working in the financial services when he decided it was time for a career move. Leaving the security of his steady job behind, in a few years he developed himself to be one of the most prominent hopes of Belgian comix.

He became the topical cartoonist for De Morgen and eventually created the gag strip 'Kinky en Cosy', which has also appeared in Dutch magazines Incognito and MYX. The comic has been collected in books by Silvester, and has also been adapted into an animation series for Belgian television. The strip is nowadays published directly in albums, but also appears in Dutch magazine Eppo since January 2012. Another notable creation by Nix is the 'Café du Commerce' newspaper comic for De Standaard.

The comic 'Ief de Chief' was a hilarious parody of the tensions between the commercial and editorial divisions of the De Morgen newspaper. It was published in the very same Belgian daily, featuring spine-chilling portraits of the newspaper's sportscar-driving owner and main editor.

Additionally, Nix was present in Zone 5300 with the photo comic 'Kwakzalver en Knettergek'. In 1998, Nix's comix anthology 'Hardnekkige Vlekken' was published, and it was followed by 'Hic Sunt Leones', 'Hippoliet en Zeno in de Ruimte', 'Fin de Semaine', and 'De XII Werken van Vanoudenhoven'. He also publishes in PAN, Spirou, Yeti and Focus. Nix is a teacher in cartooning with the Saint-Luc in Brussels, and is also a stage performer.
