About

rembrand

Rembrand‘s the name and I’m a designer, comic book enthousiast, moviegoer, drawing person and a bit of a craftsperson. I studied Graphic Design at the K.A.S.K., in Ghent (Belgium) mastering design for print and started work as a webdesigner soon after graduating.

Through the first years of work I expanded my design skillset with a strong knowledge of xhtml/css, webstandards and wordpress. All the while also having fun with drawing (comics and illustrative work) and playing with paper (origami and papercraft).

PaperblackNinja is my place to showcase that love for design, drawing and papercraft.

“But what does PaperblackNinja mean?”

PaperblackNinja carries a lot of meanings. On the most basic level, it refers to my love of paper for its strong link to art and design. From the Japanese origami to drawing sketches, paper has been one of the primary means of expression and imagination since it was invented. I always liked the image of the ninja as someone highly skilled for his job. Of course, in the ninja’s case we’re talking about assasination, while I’m more interested in graphics.
The word ‘paperblack’ is obviously also a play on words. Refering to ‘paperback’ as well as ‘black’, it’s about my attraction to (comic)books and an interest in the darker side of life. From the writings of Edgar Allen Poe to the great comics of Mignola.
