Our special guests for this edition are illustrators:
Brecht Evens//
Belgian cartoonist Brecht Evens was born in 1986 and studied illustration at Sint-Lucas Gent, Belgium. His comic book The Wrong Place (2009), started out as a graduation project and was a departure from the more typical comic art of his earlier books. He followed The Wrong Place up with The Making Of (2011), the many-year-end-best-of-list appearing Panther (2016) and the dutch and french version of The City of Belgium (2018), which won Jury’s Choice at the Angoulême International Comics Festival.
Wide Vercnocke//
Born mid 80's. Never grew up though. He make graphic novels, illustrations, murals, posters and do live drawing performances. People describe his stuff as magical realism. He describe it as drawings. He worked for clients such as De Standaard, Bruzz, BBC World Service, Muntpunt, Knack focus, Humo, De Correspondent, Das Mag, Apple, Z33, 30CC, Passa Porta and others. He is currently working on a new graphic novel called GODIN.
Laura Simonati//
Is an Italian illustrator and author based in Brussels. She love to experiment and create illustrations for different purposes and she enjoys exploring the world through my practice. She is deeply fascinated by Outsider Art, vernacular graphic design and everything dealing with Folklore.
The concept is simple: coming together for a creative moment over a drink. Whether you are an amateur, professional or curious beginner, the "Drink and Draw" celebrates artistic diversity in a relaxed atmosphere conducive to drawing. A creative evening fueled by Grafik's artistic energy with MC Leti Confetti and several illustrators as guests. Every half hour a new illustrator will challenge you, with two (group) drawing assignments of 15min each. All material is provided on site.
Open to all skill levels and participants ages 12 to 99.
