Bijlmer Boys Bijlmer Boys - covers (click to enlarge) Yiri acquired a small measure of fame with his underground comic "Bijlmer Boys", which was first published in 1993. The series tells the tale of Rembo, Roeltje, Dave and a whole lot of dubious substances. Going Down (PDF) The comic is mostly written in Dutch, except for part four, which bears the ominous title "Going Down". And with this rather dark issue, Yiri's comic production ground to a halt... ...until 2008, when the acquaintaince with comic artist/Love of His Life Margreet de Heer rekindled the original Joy in the ninth art. This led to the release of the Bijlmer Boys Omnibus, closely followed by an all new fifth installment in may 2009. Busy working on other comics with Margreet, mostly providing the coloring, it would take another decade before Bijlmerboys #6 would see the light of day, in november 2020. People expecting the unexpected however, will hardly be amazed that #7 appeared merely a year later, in november 2021. With an 8th installment released in september 2023, and a 9th in december 2024, the release-schedule seems to have stabilized somewhat. More info can be found in this overview (click here) of the full series and the availability of it's seperate issues (all in Dutch). Experiments with clay have resulted in several Bijlmer Boys miniature figures over the last couple of years. Z-Man Since november 2015, a new anti-hero by the name of Z-Man made it's first appearance in Stripnieuws. Peddler of the local homeless-newspaper, Z-Man is scripted by Margreet de Heer and is currently in Dutch only. For the past few years, Z-Man makes a semi-regular appearance in StripGlossy by Uitgeverij Personalia. Other comic-related activity A FoolishPeople Guide to the End of the Earth (click to enlarge) In 2008, Yiri and Margreet teamed up on "Judgment Day", a comic for the TERRA:EXTREMITAS project - a multimedia art event (in which they also performed) by FoolishPeople about the Apocalypse, brought about by Art coming alive to haunt reality. It was published in the book accompanying the event. Over the first half of 2009, Yiri been keeping busy working with Margreet on several one-off projects, some occasional outdoor cartooning at conferences and seminars. Since then they did a couple of short comics for the new Pulpman-magazine (see the news-page for more on these), P@per-magazine, and Stripnieuws.
