Abstract
In this video, Amsterdam comic artist Eric Krabbenbosch talks with Gemma Blok about his work, and his long-time use of heroin and other drugs.
Description
Krabbenbosch was part of a generation of early adopters of opiate use in the Netherlands, like the Dutch cartoonist Peter Pontiac (Petrus Josef Gerardus Pollmann, 1951-2015) and the Dutch rock star Herman Brood (1946-2001). Eric started using cannabis and LSD in the 1960s, inspired by the cultural revolution that was going on at the time, and moved on to opium and heroin around 1970. He quit the habit in 2010 and since then, he is able to spend more energy on his creative work and career.
