The Dutch designer and illustrator Metin Seven, born on the 23rd of July 1971 in Brussels (Belgium), was raised with the first generations of personal computers and was therefore spoon-fed with computer graphics. In the late Eighties Metin formed a team together with a programmer and a music composer and started creating commercial games for the Commodore Amiga computer system range. The team’s greatest international game hits were “Hoi” (1992) and “Clockwiser” (1994).
In the early Nineties Metin worked on the innovative digitally animated television series “Mannetje & Mannetje” (”Jones & Jones”), which was his first assignment for the Dutch Comic House agency. Since then, Comic House kept successfully representing Metin through the years with a wide range of assignments. One of Metin’s larger productions for Comic House involved modeling and animating characters for the award-winning interactive animated 3D television series “TattleToons”, which was featured in Time Magazine (March 2001).
Currently Metin is concentrating on what he likes to do best: creating original cartoons, comics and illustrations for magazines and newspapers. In 2006 Metin was asked to frequently contribute cartoons to the Dutch national newspaper NRC.next and the largest Dutch news website Nu.nl. In the time that is left Metin loves to conceive 3D toy figure designs that are realized by Crazy Label, starting with Seamour Sheep and Marty Mole, the two main characters from Metin’s weekly webcomic Seamour Sheep. The comic covers the silly adventures of a Scottish sheep, a wiseacre mole and some supernumaries. You can find the comic at seamoursheep.com.
