Breaking news! Here’s the line-up for the first Bloeddorst magazine that if as goes well will be released during the Christmas holidays!
The cover will be made by the incredible comic artist Erik Kriek and the stories inside are from Maarten Gerritsen, Menno Kooistra (written by Peter Moerenhout) and Maarten Janssens.
Below quick sketches made by Maarten Janssens, who is looking for the right style. He’s inspired by Ashley Wood.
Stay tuned for more news!
Incredibly sad news. Last Saturday the amazing Dutch comic artist and Bloeddorst author Minck Oosterveer died in a motorcycle accident.
Minck created the comic hero Trunk for the first Bloeddorst book, together with writer and friend Willem Ritstier. Trunk later was given his own series of which the first book was released in 2008.
Minck will be greatly missed and we wish his family all the best.
RIP Minck!
It’s been a while, but hey, a lot has happened since. But we can assure you that we’re back now with great news.
Bloeddorst will return for sure. As a magazine, nothing new there, but brace yourself: on the iPad!
Yesterday we talked it all over with a fresh, young and talented people from LayerGloss who can make magic happen with the Apple tablet.
The first magazine of Bloeddorst, exclusively made for the iPad will probably see the light of day early 2012, perhaps even by the end of this year. Bloeddorst the magazine will not be just a comic made for the iPad. It’ll be an experience. Something unique and freaking terrifying. It goes without doubt you can expect the quality you’re used to from the book, but this time with extra’s. Expect sketches, bonus comics, easter eggs, movement, sound, and lots of other great features. One thing’s for sure: it’ll scare the living shit out of you.
Stay tuned for more news to come. We’ll post all the bloody details on this blog. Of course you can also follow us on Twitter and Facebook.
Paris-based graphic artist Tougui customized a normal looking paper catwalk model by Bloeddorst very own Maarten Janssens into something not quite dead yet. Hehehe, we love that.
Go download it, it’s free anyway.
Oh boy, do we get excited this time around! With Halloween approaching, there’s lots of good things going on. Nice festivals, horror-movie-marathons and premières, par-tees and lots of scared people. What a time to escape from the real-life horror we read about in the newspapers. Not that we don’t care of course, but we just can’t care 365 days a year. Karadzic, fuck him. Gaza: we’ll be interested again next week. Politics? We never cared.
To celebrate we have these 10 wallpapers for you to put on your iPhones keeping the soul alive. Tell anybody how much you love us!

This haunted paperkit is a happy Halloween-gift from 3Eyedbear and Bloeddorst to you. It’s a simple and fast-to-build illusion of Louise Brooks who just can’t take her eyes of of you. Kind of creepy, but that’s what we are here for.
Download it now and go search for the pizzabox in the garbage-bin. You are going to need it.
This has GOT to stop, nobody can be THAT friendly! Well, yes we can. For you patient people waiting for the magazine to fly we have this little guy to accompany you. Again, Maarten from 3Eyedbear created a toy to show off at work or at the family-in-law at christmas. Gosh, how nice we are.
His name is Killer and it has got spices from famous movie-killers. So let’s make this into a little game: which one? And let’s spam the comment-box for it. Winner wins infinite fame beyond recognition.
Go download it NOW and send us pictures, pictures and pictures!
There. It’s on. You can become homies now on MySpace AND on Facebook AND Twitter. The horror!

Well, the name of the game is horror over here, but it doesn’t mean we are unfriendly people. What about this free gift for you to download, cut out, fold and glue together yourself? We are even that friendly to warn you about the difficulty of it, but horror ain’t for little kids anyway, right? ;). A pincet would help. For instance…
Lot’s of kuddo’s for Bloeddorst-co-creator Maarten Janssens, who schizofrenicly builds lovely paperkits on the side. At his website 3EyedBear you can find more paperkits. And the answer to the question “how the hell can I put these kits together AND make them look cool?”.
But I’ll cut further crap. Let’s download the damned thing!
Our shop starts to get filled up, so go check all this stuff we have to offer in the sidebar! It’s a way to support your favourite artists too since all the proceeds go directly to them. We thought it to be beneficial to everyone. To bring it short: You get your deal directly from the artists without costly mediation, the artists can go run back to the pub with your money and if they sell out we get more artwork to show off! Wow, it’s ingenius!
