Het Besloten Land, only the best comics store in Belgium, just launched its new website. This time, Flemish cartoonist and knowitall Randall.C provided the illustrations. And they look pretty !

Another JvdV mural
Sunday, September 14th, 2008
I was in Turnhout this weekend because Strip Turnhout was presenting Randall.C with his Prize for the best Debut Graphic Novel (a.k.a. the Tin Biebel - link in Dutch) for Slaapkoppen (of which we are currently preparing the English edition).
Sadly, however, my pictures of the glorious event were totally ruined by a lack of flash light. Luckily, I took a picture of the Jan van der Veken murial that can be admired in Turnhout (vander Veken was Turnhout’s Cartoonist Laureate last year). I quite like the fact that, besides a very beautiful piece of art, it’s also very funny. I think I like it even more than the one I spotted in Antwerp, earlier this year.
Spinvis cartooned
Monday, January 14th, 2008At last year’s Turnhout comics festival, Dutch singer-songwriter Spinvis performed on stage with a real pantheon of Dutch and Belgian comics artists. On the video, you hear Nagemaakte Gek (Counterfeit Crazy), with artistic support by Hanco Kolk. It wasn’t the first time the two met up on stage : during the Strips In Stereo event in Amsterdam in 2006 Kolk illustrated a rendition of Spinvis’ song Voor ik vergeet (Before I forget).
More videos after the break. Even if you don’t understand Dutch, the music is amazing.
