Joris Mertens

Joris Mertens (b. 1968) has spent 25 years working as a set designer, art director, illustrator, storyboard artist, photographer and graphic designer. That work has given him a great deal of experience of telling stories through atmosphere, imagery and storyboarding, true to the idea of ‘show, don’t tell’. It was therefore only a matter of time before he started making graphic novels, in which the drawings are the real medium.
