Cave Man by Liam Brazier
Can you please tell us about your fascination with pop culture characters? {artist's axiom}
I'm a product of my generation, I would surmise. I'm creaking on into my thirties now and those big tent-poles of pop iconography were really cementing themselves in every child's cerebellum during the 80s and 90s. Star Wars, for example, WAS a good part of my younger years not only to me, but to many. When asked to illustrate an image of a coffin I came back with zombies.
That stuff never leaves you, it just sort of sits there in your subconscious infecting everything you do from then on in - it becomes not an entertainment but an education, of sorts. Bottom line; I draw this or I draw that because a) I'm not the best at over-thinking things, and b) I felt like it in that moment. As a writer should 'write what they know', an illustrator should draw what they like.
