Inspired from a young age by the one sheets in the cinema lobby and the posters on his bedroom wall, Remco fell in love with the craft and beauty of comics and the illustrated film poster. Since the mid-to-late 90's he has been devoted to creating art that embodies that very aesthetic,
While remaining constant to his 'retro' vision, the artwork he creates has a modern appeal which is beneficial to his growing client base. Combining digital painting with a traditional art background is just one example of Remco’s ability to utilise the latest tools and delivery methods while staying true to the traditional style he holds so close to his heart.
