Erwin Vanmol was born in 1967 in Aalst, and educated at the Sint-Lukas School of Arts in Brussels. He also attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Aalst and the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Ghent.

'Knolbert'. Translation: "Hmm, I think I have everything against flooding: water proof sealing, PVC, bags, a water pomp, stones fit for quick building, boots, buckets, wipers and everything that's valuable has been put on heights. O.K., MOTHER, BATH TIME!!".
While recovering from an accident in 2000, Vanmol started drawing cartoons. He sold his first cartoon to Computer Magazine in that same year. Vanmol worked for several Belgian and foreign magazines, such as Ché and Knack, drawing both political cartoons and more general humorous cartoons and gag comics. His comic characters include 'Molotov', 'Krapunzel' and 'Wolfbeen'. When his 11-year association with Knack came to an end in 2012, Vanmol found a regular spot in P-Magazine in 2012 until the magazine became a website by 2017. He was the town cartoonist of the city of Aalst and published the monthly 'Knolbert' strip in the city paper Denderend Aalst until 2013.
Since the 2010s, Vanmol's cartoons also appear in the right-wing conservative weekly 't Pallieterke and on the website Doorbraak.be.
