Wide Vercnocke (b. 1985) studied at Sint-Lukas n Brussels, where he obtained a Master's degree in Visual Arts, Graphic Design department. His graduation work immediately became his first published comic: "My Muse Lies On The Settee". This was followed by "Wild meat" (2014), "Narwal" (2016) and "Drieman" (2020). In between, he works as a freelancer, his drawings have appeared in Humo, Focus Knack and De Standaard or as large murals. As an illustrator he is also associated with "De Sprekende Ezels", a stage for poetry, word and music. He describes himself as a 'writer and illustrator of tear-jerkers'. In his graphic novels, he combines a fascinating drawing style with often abstract but poetic stories, in which physicality plays an important role. Language and image are given equal weight, and Vercnocke plays deftly with both. He is building an oeuvre that is impressively unique and unconventional.
