Biography
Biography
Varekamp received his education at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie (1984-1988). After he quit this institute he started working for the well-known Dutch cartoonist Gerrit de Jager. Varekamp had a daily comic in the Dutch newspaper Algemeen Handelsblad called S.O.S. (1986-1988). Two S.O.S books were published. Together with Mick Peet Varekamp started the Agent Orange series about the life of the Dutch Prince Bernhard of Lippe-Biesterfeld (1911-2004) in 2003, which caught some attention in the headlines of Dutch national media when the first book was launched in 2004, just before the death of the Royal Highness. The comic book is one of the last books that he read. All the volumes (5) of the strip are accompanied by essays with backgrounds and documentation from the Dutch historian Coen Hilbrink. Varekamp has worked as an illustrator for companies as Liander, Algemeen Dagblad, HP/De Tijd, Daimler (Duitsland), Hard Gras, Albert Heijn and VPRO-gids.
