INTERVIEW | Skwak
Interview Format: This section aims to bring you interviews from artists/designers/illustrators who have influenced and inspired me along the way, hopefully they will inspire you too, whilst getting an insight into what makes them tick and how they work and create.
From a list of questions the interviewee can choose to answer as little or as many as they like, as long or as short as they like or have time for, explained or unexplained – but they are asked to answer only one option of either OR within the question…
SKWAK
“…SKWAK is a french illustrator from North of France, his unique graphic universe (Maniac World) is soaked, choking. His works revisite the childrens fairy tales and the universal myths. The adventures his characters (the Maniacs) are living are inspired from our daily life (love stories, treason, manipulation…) but are exaggerated to absurd: they express the idea of “too much”, the idea of escalation, through power, wealth, plastic surgery, celebrity..”
