He's a welcome guest everywhere he goes out to draw people on family and enterprise parties in Belgium or abroad. He likes to come to the ECC to meet with other cartoonists and caricaturists... let's introduce Hanzz (Hans Deconinck, °1960, Izegem, Belgium). In 2013 he had an exhibition in the ECC and it's there where I learned to know this kind artist. At that time he didn't have a catalogue or caricature book, and that's why I didn't introduce him earlier.

But now it's so far: he published a catalogue with about 46 of his best caricatures of famous people. Hanzz is an ardent user of digital media. He is a lead user testing different beta-versions of drawing tablets (Wacom) and drawing software as Paintshop Pro9 and ArtRage. To make a portrait, I thought Hanzz started scanning a photo of the person, and then manipulated that picture. But that's not the case. His caricatures a drawn by hand on the tablet with the specific software. The results are astonishing as you can see in the scans below...

Let's end with the wise words of Hanzz himself: "Let the fun be with you".
