Bijlmer Boys Bijlmer Boys - covers (click to enlarge) Yiri acquired a small measure of fame with his underground comic "Bijlmer Boys", which was first published in 1993. The series tells the tale of Rembo, Roeltje, Dave and a whole lot of dubious substances. Going Down (PDF) The comic is mostly written in Dutch, except for part four, which bears the ominous title "Going Down". After this issue, which contained a lot of black ink, Yiri's comic production ground to a halt... ...until 2008, when the acquaintaince with comic artist/Love of His Life Margreet de Heer rekindled his original Fun in the ninth art. This eventually led to the release of the Bijlmer Boys Omnibus, as a precursor to the all new and recently released fifth installment in the series. Experimenting a bit with clay resulted in several Bijlmer Boys miniature figures over the last couple of years. Recent productions A FoolishPeople Guide to the End of the Earth (click to enlarge) In 2008, Yiri and Margreet teamed up on "Judgment Day", a comic for the TERRA:EXTREMITAS project - a multimedia art event (in which they also performed) by FoolishPeople about the Apocalypse, brought about by Art coming alive to haunt reality. It was published in the book accompanying the event. Over the first half of 2009, Yiri been keeping busy working with Margreet on several one-off projects, some occasional outdoor cartooning at conferences and seminars, and doing a couple of short comics for the new Pulpman-magazine (see the news-page for more on these). Spending the latter half of the year locked up at home, working on a huge, 120-page, full-color comic detailing the history of philosophy, with Margreet drawing and Yiri coloring. The book will be released in februari 2010. For details, visit: senoeni.net (dutch) [  news -  ink -  paint -  word -  drama -  stuff -  life -  links  ]
