Silver Date for humour cartoon 2023.
From an early age Luc Vernimmen has been fascinated by drawing and comics, this has determined his graphic style to what it is today. The Graphic Arts education at St. Lucas School of Arts in Antwerp became an obvious choice. Later on he studied also Sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts of Antwerp. After years of devoting himself to etching, aquatint and other graphic techniques, his work gradually became more colorful.
Graphically, he can enjoy himself as an illustrator of schoolbooks, children’s books, posters, cartoons, etc... usually for publishers in Belgium and the Netherlands.
He regularly exhibits his oil paintings. As a cartoonist he won many prizes at various international cartoon festivals. Another great passion is music, which runs like a thread through his work.
