As Perenix [“Pears? No”], this early European writer began punk graffiti in Amsterdam in 1980. “In 1981, I fell into the halfpipe at Waterlooplein while rollerskating and broke all four of my front teeth. I was still in the punk scene and I didn't care about walking around like that for a year. That’s why I got the nickname Vampirella [like the horror comic character created in 1969], but it has nothing to do with my first name.”
