Francois Schuiten is a Belgian comics artist born in 1956 to two architects. Buildings are in his blood, as is artistic talent, but Schuiten's chosen career path enabled him to pull off something every architect dreams of but none can do: By working in the comics world, Schuiten can create entire cities without limit.
There is no budget-minded client, no structural engineer, no combative contractor, no urban planning quagmire, no pesky laws of physics to arrest the beautiful urban explosions that flow directly from Schuiten's mind to the pen.
