Biography
He was recognized for his unconventional lifestyle, including a years-long struggle with heroin addiction, a theme he explored in his autobiographical comics. In addition to his personal works, he provided illustrations for album covers for several bands, including Parados, Thud!, The Bouncers, The Schizofrenics, and Dead Moon, as well as for bootleg singles by musicians Lou Reed and Bob Dylan.
At the time of his death, Pontiac was working on a new graphic novel (STYX of de zesplankenkoorts) about his disease and awaiting death. He got money for this project through crowd funding.
Lettering
For Oog & Blik he did the lettering of the Dutch editions of Art Spiegelmans Maus en Robert Crumbs Introducing Kafka.
