Martijn van Santen, who used to be in our class at the Willem de Kooning Academy, has won the VPRO debut prize 2010 for his comic book Werk in uitvoering (Work in Progress)! He received his award, a shitload of money, last week at the Haarlemse Stripdagen. The book was indeed a work in progress for a long time, he has been working on it for years, so it's great to see his hard labour being rewarded. The drawings are fantastic (Martijn is really a proper comic artist) and the jury was raving about the intelligent yet funny story. Buy the book at one of the Selexyz book shops or visit Martijn's website to order directly from the artist himself.
