The Comic Strips by Blateman & Bobine on my blog. Discover them without delay!
Hello, I was born in Brussels in 1979.
I signed 4 comics and collaborated to others under my 'real name', Vincent Henin, published by Casterman. Under the pseudonym Vhenin, I created 2 comics of the duo 'Blateman & Bobine' with the scenarist Tarek. But not only...
At the same time, I am pursuing a career in (Motion) Graphic Design, Illustration, Webdesign and as a Interface Designer. Recently, I also offer services like Graphic Recording and Visual Thinking for clients such as the European Commission, the 'EU DataViz, The European Convention Center (Luxembourg), Trees & People and many others.
It is to offer these services independently that my 'Vhenin' freelance activity was born.
Discover both sides on this site.

"Visual Thinkers?!" But, what is that?
This term encompasses several techniques of graphic capture, organization and storage: Graphic Recording, Visual Recording and Harvesting alongside Sketch Noting.
"A drawing is better than a long speech", right? Well, we appeal to your cognitive, creative and visual abilities to create, nourish and retain the words of meetings, debates or events... in drawings
You finally have before your eyes the drawn or graphically transposed report of these. And in a more durable and clear way for lasting and constructive memorization... Also, this constitutes a more user-friendly material to use, to share, to remember and to revive the discussion between colleagues later.
I am available for any type of graphic work, illustration or comics. Or feel free to just ask me your questions. I look forward to exchanging ideas and meeting you.
Thanks and see you soon!
