Hello Bue, we’d like you to start by tell us a little bit about yourself and how you decided pursue a career in art?
Social heritage. My father was an artist. My brother and sister are artists. I had no choice. My brother Tuk always pushed me to do comics.
I started studying at the university, because that is what I had to do, but I never felt home in the academic world. Occasionally I would draw doodles and figures on my university notes, and when my brother saw them, he would urge me to draw comics.But I would have nothing to say and just ignore him. Except Tuk wouldn’t give up that easily though, he would keep pushing me through the years to do comics, he even gave me a book about making comic (Drawing words and writing Pictures) .But I hardly bothered to look into it and it ended up on the bookshelf with all the other unread books. Years later I would find out that it was a great book which helped a lot.
As the years passed it became more and more clear that I couldn’t continue my university studies. I couldn’t imagine myself doing any of the jobs or tasks, the studies eventually would lead to. So when I finished my bachelor degree I decided to put my studies on a hold and dedicate myself to do comics.I still didn’t thought I had anything to say though, and couldn’t hardly draw, but then my brother's girlfriend lent me Joe Matts Poor Bastard, which is slightly exaggerated comic based on the authors everyday life.If he can do it, I can do it as well I thought and started doing autobiographical comics.
