Biography
Leisink started out to be a teacher and attended the Lerarenopleiding Tekenen and the PABO. After his graduation, he and a few other former editors for gcd_link_series fanzine banded together to form gcd_link_publisher. His first professional publication was gcd_link_feature for the free daily newspaper gcd_link_series. He later added a second feature to Metro, called gcd_link_feature and a strip for competing newspaper gcd_link_series, called gcd_link_feature. In 2003, he published his first album, gcd_link_issue with fellow Noodweer creator gcd_link_creator.
He created various strips for commercial companies and charities, such as 'Fons en Fiona de Koning' for Horeca Nederland and 'Sam en Simone' in Unicef's magazine Kids United. He also writes the noir crime horror series gcd_link_feature that is pre-published in gcd_link_series and then collected in albums (2013-present).
His greatest achievement to date, however, is probably the daily cartoon gcd_link_feature, which has become a sort of pseudonym. Initially published locally and online, Argus has become widely known through appearing daily in various newspapers, such as gcd_link_series (2007-2012) and gcd_link_series (2012-2020). Several collections of these cartoons have been published annually 2003-2020.
