Nominated for Clickie Webcomic Award 2010

Lectrr — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 08:31:04 +0000

Woohoo, great news! I’ve been nominated for the Clickburg Webcomic Award 2010, also known as the Clickie.
It’s the most important webcomic award in Belgium and The Netherlands (especially since it’s the only webcomic award out here), so being nominated is quite an honour.
My daily editorial cartoon for www.nu.nl made their shortlist in the category ‘Cartoons’. Fingers crossed! Being my second nomination for this prize I certainly hope to wheel it in.

Interview: The Cartoonist’s Survey

Just finished reading the interview I did for David Wasting Paper’s Cartoonist’s Survey-blog, an awesome blog about… well… cartoonists. If you ever wanted to know anything about any cartoonist you could possible imagine, that would be the website to go to. Really.
There’s no ninja-porn there, though. That’s one missed opportunity. Too bad.

Check out the site, and my interview.

I just saw the temporarily guestslist of the FACTS convention, and found out i’m in exceptionally good company this year. Guests so far: Dave ‘Watchmen’ Gibbons, Frank ‘Liberty Meadows’ Cho and Lectrr. Not bad!

Hope to see you there in October.

Nominated for “Stripschapspenning 2009″

Lectrr has been nominated for the prestigious Dutch comicbook-price for the first time. His album “Lars! Attacks” was nominated for the Album of the Year-award
in the category “Youth”. The jury described the nomination like this:

“The master of absurd jokes finally dedicates himself to newspaper comics. His fear of dogs inspired him to create a series of hilarious, Tom & Jerry-like jokes in which the main character, a dog named Lars, is the victim of it all.”

Other nominees in the same category are “Zzzzeur Meyer” by Gerard Leever and “Opa Laat Zijn Tenen Zien” (translated: “Grandpa shows his toes”) by Floor de Goede and Erward van de VEndel.
The last book also won a Zilveren Griffel-award, an award for excellent childrens literature.
The winner of the Stripschapspenning 2009 wil be announced in september on the Stripdagen in Houten (The Netherlands), where Lectrr is also doing a signing session.

Spinvis

This weekend I was a guest at Belgium’s finest Comicbookfestival “Strip Turnhout” in Turnhout. Signing loads of books, meeting colleagues and just hanging around on one of the finest comic book fairs of the country. On sunday evening I performed (together with a dozen other comic book artists: Pieter de Poortere, Jan van der Veken (of the New Yorker-fame), Hanco Kolk, Peter Kuper, ao.) with the dutch band ‘Spinvis‘. Man, that was awesome! For those that missed this memorable performance: shame on you! It had everything to become a legendary performance. Mind my words.

The first youtube movies of that performance is starting to buzz around the net.
