@jos: do you know where and when this is? 

Grenzenloos

New project coming up: together with my friends and colleagues with whom I followed the course 'Visual Reporter' we are preparing a comic book about the frontiers of Limburg province. This book will be telling the stories of the ever changing borders of this most southern Dutch province, which is incorporated in personal union with the Kingdom of the Netherlands only since 1867 (Treaty of London). Mind you: 150 years ago!

Participating in this project: Gady Mirtenbaum, Berend Vonk, Jean Gouders, Marco Jeurissen and me. We hope to publish Grenzenloos at the end of this anniversary year.

Borderline

For a visual reporter this region offers an abundance in intriguing stories. The history of the Nieuwstraat, one of the first stoneroads in these parts, which eventually became the borderline between Germany and the Netherlands, is an example of such a fascinating narrative.
