Interview with artist Benoît van Innis

One of the websites I made in the spring of 2009 was for a Belgian contemporary artist/painter/illustrator and friend of mine, Benoît van Innis. His website is a portfolio of his artworks and projects. Recently, I did an interview with Benoît, asking about his work method and the things inspiring him. The interview was done in Dutch but i'm translating it to English. (I’m not a native English speaker, I appreciate your correction/comment)
