In 2016, two human beings met in Berlin. Their names were Gounis and Layerlove. One was a programmer, the other a graphic designer, and both suffered from terrible headaches; creative passions tormented their minds. So, they sat down and tried to find a solution to their problem. An agreement was quickly reached, and the two beings seized their axes, heaving them into their rough palms and opening their own skulls with repeated blows. Then, from their heads sprang the armored Black Zeus, devoted to artistic creation. Since then, Black Zeus has given substance to comics, art books, and prints with their maiden work being the fictional newspaper The Heroic Affair of Mr. Gouneberg.

Black Zeus website was designed by Layerlove and developed by Gounis. comics[@]gounis.org

A few years later, though, he totally forgot what the sun is since he moved to Stockholm for his masters in Software Engineering of Distributed Systems at KTH Royal Institute of Technology.
