Girl: now that you’ve gone

I am just a small girl in a big world
trying to find someone to love

Marilyn Monroe

Legend has it that Gilles Vranckx was born with a pencil in hand. And problably his first sketch was the body of a woman. He studied graphic design, animation and comic art. Influenced by artists as Ashley Wood, Kent Williams, Edward Hopper and old 50′- 60′ ads, he has a wide diversity in styles due to his animation background.

Watching films is his favorite past time and his greatest inspiration. He worked on a 6 issue mini-series with writer Scott Closter called The Z-list and his own personal grafic novel Girl: now that you’ve gone wich he’ll make into a shortfilm.

Gilles is a filmprogrammer for the offscreen filmfestival and does some DJ-ing in the weekends. He exibited several times in Brussels and Antwerp.
