Studio Stoutpoep is the creative pseudonym for Domien Delforge, a multifaceted artist and illustrator based in Antwerp, Belgium. Born in 1988, Delforge has gained widespread recognition for a style that masterfully blends bold graphic lines with sharp, often irreverent humor. His work is characterized by its minimalist aesthetic and satirical edge, frequently exploring themes of human intimacy, social awkwardness, and the absurdities of daily life through a lens of playful wit. Despite his international success as a cartoonist and author, Delforge maintains a career in the banking sector, a contrast that informs his grounded yet cheeky observations of the world.

The artist is particularly renowned for his use of the risograph printing technique, which provides his illustrations with a distinct texture and vibrant, nostalgic color palette. His portfolio includes a wide array of content ranging from relatable comic strips about relationships to provocative pop art prints that challenge conventional social boundaries. Through his published books and a significant social media presence, he has cultivated a cult following that appreciates his ability to condense complex emotions and political or social commentary into single, punchy frames. By utilizing humor as a tool for connection, Delforge transforms the mundane into something both hilarious and thought-provoking, ensuring his place as a distinctive voice in the Belgian art scene.
