Born in Izegem (B) in 1960. Hanzz was interested in caricatures ever since childhood. He was still a young boy when he was drawing day in day out, to great despair of his parents, who rather liked him to do something more useful...
But he never got round to giving up his favourite dada...He just loves it to bits...So we can safely say, he is drawing his whole life.Just until the year 1999, he only draws and draws, without a real goal.Learning new techniques , (which will come in handy later on...)
This changes forever with his 'discovery' of the digital tablets from Wacom. Since his first stroke on the virtual canvas, his passion doubled to say the least.
In 2000, he participates in his first contest on the site of the fabulous Jan Op de Beeck. He won this one (Ché guevarra)! This was the signal that there might be something for him in drawing caricatures.
Strengthened by this success he continues participating these contests, and wins in 2004 a contest on the site of the late Martin O'Laughlin. In 2008 he wins a contest at Denis Grand's.
Today he keeps contacts with colleagues all over the world, from Belgium to the USA, from Argentinia to China, and the places in between...
Hanzz was also a beta tester for Paint Shop Pro 9, one of the more popular graphical programs in the world.
But also Ambient Design (Artrage) had him as a Alpha and Beta Tester for their second version (and now for the 3rd)of this immensely popular painting program. On his advise, some great new features developed in the minds of the programmers.
Also the manufacturer of the Wacom tablets contacted him for testing an Intuos3 tablet , and he even wrote a tutorial for them.
One might say Hanzz got caught by the "caricatures virus", and he does not seem willing to fight it.
To say it in his words...
