Minck Oosterveer

Minck Oosterveer pursued an education to become a master of the arts. Although he grew up in Holland with European comics, he was soon more interested in American comics, especially the newspaper comics of the 1930s-50s. It was the pulpish, direct style and the usage of black and white in the realistic artwork that attracted him the most. Oosterveer's work is strongly influenced by Milton Caniff, Alex Raymond, and Will Eisner.

After working in a studio on productions like 'Tom & Jerry', 'Sesame Street', 'Paddington', 'Ovide' and 'Spider-Man', Minck Oosterveer started working with Willem Ritstier on the series 'Claudia Brucken'. The collaboration with Ritstier resulted in a daily newspaper comic in an American style, 'Jack Pott', in the Dutch newspaper Algemeen Dagblad.

Oosterveer worked also with Willem Ritstier on the newspaper comic 'Zodiak' for De Telegraaf, and 'Rick Rolluik' for Suske en Wiske-weekblad. Also, Oosterveer has made two comics, 'Excalibur' and 'Arachna', and a successful animated movie, 'Mario A'. In 2002, Oosterveer and Ritstier started a new strip in De Telegraaf, called 'Nicky Saxx'.
