Jakob Akemann (2000, Amsterdam) got his Bachelor degree in Creative Writing (ArtEZ Arnhem) with a comic book about a depressed starfish, an artistic research about the beauty of sadness, and a short story about the only man in the world who is aware that the world will end next Tuesday afternoon. And although it may sound gloomy, its actually a lot of fun.
With a natural sense for absurdism and a developing interest in photography, he started his master studies in Graphic Storytelling (LUCA Brussels) which in june 2025 bore its first real fruit, a comic book called RAMP. This is not the first time Jakob self-published. He already printed a whole bunch of zines, created some short story collections as well as two comic books and co-founded a magazine (De Oswaldt).
