1975-1985 Play Time
Growing up within the Golden years of European comic books - Asterix, Tin Tin, Lucky Luke etc..and the birth of the videogames, it is no wonder that these would influence Peter for his entire life...started with drawing/doodling comics based on the comics Peter read and not to forget the BMX racing.

1985-1990 Skateboarding and Graffiti
Teenager, being rebellious. After the movies Wild Style and Beat Street Peter hit the streets with his spray cans and skateboard. Late nights sneaking out of the house, playing cat and mouse with the cops and fresh paint everywhere making his mum crazy. Fun times.

1990-1999 Comics and Art
In his twenties it was working and army problems (long story, last mandatory draft) it was back to the comics and Peter picked up a paint brush and moved his art from the walls to the canvas. And ofcourse, parties, the parties in Amsterdam... Published his first comic - Bonehead. Unfortunately no digital version available. At December 5, 1998, Peter made his first scuba dive in Holland...something was looming in the future!
