Craww is an amazing artist who's work I have admired for years and is a constant inspiration to me. I was lucky enough to grab a quick interview with him and feed my curiosities. His art is an amalgamation of the mythical, with recurring beautiful women, skulls and crows. He describes his work as a stream of consciousness that takes us through his journey through his own dark untangible world.
How often do you venture out of your comfort zone when creating your art?
The only time I am ever really comfortable is drawing. Paintings, whatever the medium are much more of a battle. I never really know how they are going to turn out until the end, so the process usually involves a lot of angst!
Having said that, the rewards from pushing yourself are much greater, even when it all goes wrong. At least you learn something.
During your process, what do you find is the hardest step?
Starting. Those first steps...
Do you feel like you've gotten to know your characters? And have they created a life of their own?
I think so yes, I’ve found they have written their own mythology over the years they have featured in my work. It’s an ongoing story, i look forward to seeing where it goes!
What advice has had the most impact on your work?
All the “advice” clients gave me as a graphic designer! Dealing with clients made me quit and start painting.
Do you have a motto?
I dont, sorry!
