Skwak

"...SKWAK a créé son propre univers graphique, le Maniac World peuplé de ses Maniacs...

Décadents et démesurés, les Maniacs travaillent à leur anéantissement, en cultivant agonie, avilissement, pratiquant chirurgie esthétique à outrance pour être toujours plus monstrueusement beaux, corruption pour être toujours plus riche et puissant, toujours plus de tout.."

 

"...SKWAK is a french illustrator from North of France, His unique graphic universe (Maniac World) is soaked, choking. His works revisite the children fairy tales and the universal myths. The adventures his characters (the Maniacs) are living are inspired from our daily life (love stories, treason, manipulation...) but are exaggerated to absurd : they express the idea of "too much", the idea of escalation, through power, wealth, plastic surgery, celebrity.."
