edit data

I'm a Dutchman with a passion for animation film. Since 2009 I write for my own blog on animation films called Dr. Grob’s Animation Review, which now has over 1,500 entries and 5,000 visitors a month.

As a reader I aim to read a great variety of books, from all ages and continents. I particularly favor tales that have inspired other artists like painters, composers and film makers.

interests: animation film, astronomy, classics, European comics, evolution, graphic novels, history, literature, music, mythology, paleontology, poetry, science, silent cinema ...more
