Olivier Schrauwen studied animation at the Academy of Art in Ghent, and comics at the Sint-Lukas School of Arts in Brussels. He has cooperated on collective albums as 'Hic Sunt Leones' (Bries, 2003), and contributed to Beeldstorm, Demo, INK, Zone5300 and Spirou. Schrauwen, who works in an old-fashioned style that resembles classic American newspaper comics, made the critically acclaimed book 'My Boy', published by Bries in 2006. On 11 July 2011 Pieter De Poortere designed a comics mural in the Rue Euler, Paris, featuring characters by Schrauwen, Judith Vanistendael, Brecht Evens, Randall Casaer and Jeroen Janssen, to promote Flemish comic strips. This was the first of its kind in France.
In 2007 his 'My Boy' won the Debuutprijs van de Stad Turnhout, aka 'De Blikken Biebel'.
