about the author Patrick Cornelis
Art and drawing have been apart of his life from the very beginning. The study directions at school as well as his professional career have been heavily influenced by it.
After an art-driven education he went to college at Saint-Luc in Gent where he got my degree in Advertising and Communication. Quickly he realised a profession as an independent graphic designer was the way to go.
This activity as an independent designer forced him to push the love of drawing to the background but since a year or to he rediscovered the passion and it hit him with the force of a volcanic eruption. And it hasn’t let him go since.
Although he had several projects he worked on through the years there was always something that was off. Either he didn’t like the work he did on it or the story didn’t really suit him or some other excuse.
With ‘Virus: primary infection’ he finally found a project he was ready to go for. Like a possessed he began developing the story and signed on to the crowdfundingwebsite Sandawe.com where he is trying to fund his second issue Virus: Highborn as well.
