Olivier Kugler

An origin story: originally from Germany, mesmerised by tin-tin comics. Would draw images from favourite comic books - eventually wanted to draw comic books. Encouraged to draw from life instead of copying comics, life drawing is important yo.

Being an illustrator is hard. People will say they'll contact you soon and then they never do.

 Shape and line is nice man. - adding colour digitally. Lines are organic and lifey, stuff overlapping, the flow is real nice. busy, movement, there's life to the images.

Drawing on location / Drawing from reference photos - allows for development of imagery - good for that sweet sweet visual storytelling.
You might get called a paedo if you take reference photos of kids.

Reportage - visual storytelling - comics. This is pretty interesting, I never considered reportage illustration but I am interested in narrative and comics so maybe it is something to look into  (reportage graphic novel)
Labelling is nice. (duck!)

Just get drunk and ask for things it's the only way to get work.
