La Nonette — Utrecht, The Netherlands

“In my comic artwork I can tell stories and connect with all sorts of people. Every once in a while little jokes pop up in my head and they just want to come out. I’ve been drawing my whole life, for me this is a natural way of dealing with frustrations and making something positive and giving people a laugh in the process.”

La Nonette’s real name is Manon Bijkerk and she is an illustrative designer with her own very recognisable style. She likes to draw strong women “because the world can never have enough of those”. Most of her work is made by hand.
