Magazines
I am currently publishing the magazine De Graftakeling, a joint effort between me and Tim Miechels with three editions published (2025, 2023 & 2022). The magazine combines short stories, drawings and collage art, combining absurdist comedy with alternative subculture, weird literature and other ‘edgy’ themes.
I also write a regular advice column for the magazine De Burgemeester called Dr. Simon weet raad, where I respond ironically to fictional reader questions, blending absurd humor with philosophical reflection.
In the past, I have been at the helm of two other magazines. De Horizonvreter was a magazine for weird literature. It ran for a single edition published in 2019 as a collective effort between many writers and visual artists from the Arnhem-Nijmegen area. Apart from me being the editor-in-chief, it contains my collage art and my short story ‘Het tegenovergestelde van de horizon‘. Read interviews about De Horizonvreter at Modern myths, Vreemde werelden & De Gelderlander. Before that, from 2009 to 2014, I published the absurdist magazine ‘Judas’, which ran for 9 editions. This too was co-created by me and Tim Miechels and contains collage art and short fiction.

Collage Art
I have been making collage art under the pseudonym Superstoïcijn since 2009. Apart from the art published in the above magazines, I designed posters for the music and performance art festival Goochelfest.
In 2011 I published the Superstoïcijn graphic novel entitled ‘Een dag niet gestorven, is een dag niet geleefd’. It is currently out of print.
