I am born in a little town in the Netherlands in the year of the Dragon and the month of the Virgo. I am part Dutch, part Indonesian and proud on my roots. I’ve always been creative. Especially with stories. Becoming a book writer was my biggest dream ever since kindergarten, where I made my own little books with my own stories and simple illustrations. My passion for art started seriously during my teen years and when I discovered this phenomenon called anime.
I started to develop my own style based on the Japanese style and switched to telling stories through art and pretty pictures. I started to get into manga and US and EU comics and self-taught myself all kinds of art tricks.
My favorite genres to write/draw about are horror, humor and erotic-themed (mostly erotic/sexual humor). Especially when I can combine them.
I still have the dream of writing books, but also added are making comics of various subjects in various styles. My ultimate dream is to become a storyteller. Through words, art, animations, movies and more.
AppleDragon is the name I use to publish my personal work under. For business, I work under the name Appelpartje.
