Here’s My 11 Comics About Everyday Life In Amsterdam

ADVERTISEMENT

Life is weird and wonderful. I like telling stories about mine, and what better way to do that than in graphic short stories, comics if you will.I live and work in Amsterdam, which is great except that the rent is too damn high. Therefore I share my small, creaky, and leaky apartment with my lifelong friend Famke. She’s in my comics too.

Went to a pretentious art school. It turns out comics are not art. Somebody should have told me. I left after a year or so. Or maybe I was kicked out; I forget.

I draw comics for fun; I make psychedelic art for fun, occasionally I do commissions, and when I’m poor, I do odd jobs. These are usually not fun but definitely great material for new comics.

My notebooks are full of graphic stories in all shapes and sizes. Recently I’ve started to produce stories you can read on your phone. I’ve made a pretty awesome website, and I publish my work on Imgur and Reddit. I also dabble at Instagram. So yeah, find me there.

Lots of love,

Jean Dolly.

    This dude right here? He works as a Community Manager at Bored Panda. Has no back-story, cause his spine works just fine. He writes about himself in third-person, and in first-person about others. Fell in love with storytelling and cannot let that love go. Now, he's here to help you make your own story simply beautiful. Secretly makes cute music samples and writes stories in the dark that nobody has ever heard of before.

    Wow, I love them all! Really great talent and humor. Friesland, by the way, isn’t the country where French Fries are growing 🤓 and it’s pronounced "Freeze-lund" (with an European R)

    Really like the coffee (the drawing getting more and more psych is gorgeous) and the couch hahaha reminded me of the first of July here in Quebec. It is the day when 99% of the rental lease accros the province end so there is close to 50% of the population moving from one appartment to another in a pretty chaotic way, slinging furniture over balcony, breaking furnitures and leaving anything anywhere ... funny thing is that July 1st is Canada's national day so the Quebec goverment chose that date so we would not celebrate it since we are all moving (all that because of an old grudge between French (Quebec) and English (rest of Canada))
