hehe, no, I know, but you were kind enough to send me your comic in that newspaper n stuff.
haha, well, it's good to have a colour scheme ready
. I also sometimes steal from my own previous palettes. see, it's not lazy, it's "being prepared" 
.
and yeah, he is connnected to Ever Meulen through the same style he uses. He might have been a pupil of him, not sure. But here they already call Jan Van der Veken the new Ever Meulen, which is a huge compliment. Jan is, I think, the first Belgian to have illustrated the cover of The New Yorker. [link]

Cool! He clearly is big news.
(I've got my sights set on a New Yorker cover one day. Maybe I can get there..)

yep ! and you still have time. He was 34 when he first could design for the new yorker. If you can pull it off before that age I'll send you a cake with your design on it
and I'm pretty sure you are gonna do a new yorker one day. Your style fits the cover of the new yorker perfectly. Especially if you have your sights set on that. Keep making awesome stuff and it will happen
also wondering if you would do a new t-shirt design. would love one

I am going to hold you to that. You'd better start practicing your cake-based artwork replica skills.
I don't know about t shirts, I don't really know how to go about getting them made in a way that I'd make any money from, but I guess it's something that will happen.

haha, I'm on it
well, I don't know about shirts either, but I'd like to get into that world. moneymaking is not instantly I think, unless you sign a deal with urban outfitters or some major company that prints supercheaply in china. But I'm not sure that feels rewarding. a friend of mine ordered 60 shirts, sold them to friends and people he met on parties. those shirts paid his holidays ! if you can sell 60 shirts and have them printed cheaply so you can make 10 euros of profit you have 600 euros. you can buy some really really nice comics with that

Yeah I'm seeing the logic. I think I'll definitely do that at some point. I actually just did a t shirt design for Weezer which was like a dream job, had specific guidelines though so I dunno if it's the best thing I could have done for it. Thing is I'd want to make t shirts that I'd actually like wearing and I like pretty plain t shirts these days.
dude, Weezer ! that's pretty awesome. guidelines are not always too fun indeed, but I think it's part of our job to do the best we can, compromise.
and I have to say, I prefer plain t-shirts too more and more. only if the print is really really awesome I wear shirts with a print
