Nix was working in the financial services when he decided it was time for a career move. Leaving the security of his steady job behind, in a few years he developed himself to be one of the most prominent hopes of Belgian comix.
Most notably, Nix makes the 'Café du Commerce' newspaper comic for De Standaard. For De Morgen, he created the gag strip 'Kinky en Cosy', which has also appeared in Dutch magazines Incognito and MYX. The comic has been collected in books by Silvester. The comic 'Ief de Chief' was a hilarious parody of the tensions between the commercial and editorial divisions of the De Morgen newspaper. It was published in the very same Belgium daily, featuring spine-chilling portraits of the newspaper's sportscar-driving owner and main editor.
Additionally, Nix was present in Zone 5300 with the photo comic 'Kwakzalver en Knettergek'. In 1998, Nix's comix anthology 'Hardnekkige Vlekken' was published, and it was followed by 'Hic Sunt Leones', 'Hippoliet en Zeno in de Ruimte', 'Fin de Semaine', and 'De XII Werken van Vanoudenhoven'.
