After graduating as illustrator from the St. Joost art academy (Breda, Netherlands) in 2008, Maarten has provided handmade illustrations, logos, designs and creative direction for many different musicians, bands, record labels, artists, magazines and music venues, in an attempt to combine his art with a passion for (underground) music. Most of his work has materialised in the form of album covers, posters, and merchandise. Maarten occasionally exhibits his work, and since 2009 he has regularly contributed art to, and works closely with the Roadburn Festival in Tilburg. He is based in Paris at the moment.
