“My drawings already look quite medieval, I guess that’s my style. I draw with pencils on paper; I don’t like the computer that much. So, my illustrations always have a specific feeling, sketchier and with a lot of character”, explains illustrator Arthur Devisscher (BE). Last year he graduated from LUCA School of Arts Ghent and now he is fully focused on drawing and made the cover for Wobby #36. Devisscher and illustrator Malwine Stauss (DE), who did the centrefold, talk about work, inspiration and how to live as an artist.

“When I think about ‘courting’, I imagine these mediaeval scenes that fit right into the stories that I like to tell. I love drawing moments from a relationship, tiny moments that show just a small part of the story. A little dance, a courtship; that’s what I like. In the lay-out for the comic for Wobby #36 I played with the colours, lettering, and style”, says illustrator and comic artist Melek Zertal (AL/FR/US). For the newest Wobby she made a short comic. Melek describes for us her inspiration and the way she makes her work.

But I didn’t want to make it too heavy. I created monster creatures that eat the ‘perfect’ family as you see them in stock photos.”
