Philip Paquet is a Flemish illustrator, painter and musician. He loves jazz, both the music and the scene around it. This fascination led to Paquet's comic about the life of Louis Armstrong. In this comic, Armstrong himself tells about his life, supported by the semi-realistic illustrations of Paquet, that, with their dark colors, give a good impression of the jazz scene. In 2003, publisher Bries published 'Snapshots', a collection of five short stories about jazz. Philip Paquet has also collaborated on the collective album '4 Eyes'. In 2005, he commenced working on 'Yume', a series about dreaming and Japan.
