Paul Vermeersch (Paul IBOU) was born march 7, 1939 in Borgerhout, Belgium. His father, who died at a very early age, owned a small printing house, though only for recreation.

As a young student he took classes at the Royal Academy in Antwerp and met important postwar teachers who have now become prominent figures. A few years later, in 1954, he had to help out his mother because of financial reasons. He was listed as an employee in an advertising agency and later at the photo engraving studio ‘De Schutter’. He gained a broad experience working as a laborer. During this period he was also assigned as an art director for dairy ‘Nutricia’.

The art studies, despite the heavy daily duties, were continued in evening-classes. He received his degree in publicity and letter design in 1958, after which he took an additional training at the Higher institute for printing art, established by the Plantin Fellowship.
