Beach

I'm an illustrator who loves making books. I've had a few different jobs over the years, but my favourite before this one was making pizzas. If you can think of it, I have probably tried it on a pizza. Chips work surprisingly well as a topping. Donuts, not so much.

So far I've written the words and drawn the pictures for five picture books, including “The Dragon with the Blazing Bottom” and “Big Bad Dragon Club”. I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy them a lot more than my pizzas.

Denis-Pierre Filippi

Denis-Pierre Filippi est né le 19 juillet 1972 à Bergerac. Il accroche à son palmarès scolaire un Bac scientifique, et une maîtrise de philosophie. Son penchant pour la BD est un héritage paternel qu’il a entretenu dès son plus jeune âge en fréquentant assidûment les pages de Spirou, en découvrant Ptiluc et plus tard Bilal et Loisel. Il voue aussi une affection toute particulière à Schuiten, Gimenes et Tolkien. Toutefois, les premières œuvres de ce jeune scénariste bordelais sont des contes pour enfants destinés aux écoles sous la forme de montage diapos. En fait, si Denis-Pierre Filippi est conteur, il est aussi raconteur et acteur puisqu’il n’hésite pas à «tester» ses écrits sur le jeune public : jouer son texte devant les enfants pour gu

Anil Ramdas

Anil Ramdas was een Surinaams-Nederlands schrijver, programmamaker en journalist voor o.a. De Groene Amsterdammer en NRC Handelsblad. Zijn oeuvre is een getuigenis van zijn scherpzinnig denken over thema’s als identiteit, migratie en vrijheid. Door zijn speelse en tegelijk scherpe analyses van deze soms heikele thema’s, geldt Ramdas als een van de beste essayisten in het Nederlandse taalgebied. Hij schreef meerdere essay- en verhalenbundels, en werkte als radiopresentator voor de NPS en de VPRO, waarvoor hij ook verschillende televisieprogramma’s maakte. Van 2000 tot 2003 was hij buitenlandcorrespondent in India voor de NRC. In 2011 verscheen zijn debuutroman Badal. Op 16 februari 2012, zijn 54ste verjaardag, pleegde Anil Ramdas zelfmoord i
