QVAESTIO





Apr 24 2009 12:54 PM

Early 2009 my first book QVAESTIO is released. And it looks very nice. I like to call it 'graphic poetry' but Omroep Brabant called it a 'psychedelic comic strip' which is a great compliment. If you want to know what they mean please send an e-mail with an address and I'll send you QVAESTIO for free! And by the way: THANKS FOR THE ADD!
To order QVAESTIO: www.stripweb.be/S-stripverhaal-qvaestio-bestellen-8379.asp

PS. I’ll get in contact for the QVAESTIO soundtrack end 2009.
