Interview

Where are you from, and how did you become interested in art?

GrandGuerrilla: I come from Poland. I’ve been drawing since I was a child, although I only started taking a more serious approach to it roughly 4-5 years ago. When I was younger, I liked to recreate images in front of me. Basically drawing from reference. I think that might’ve partially led me to work on the show. Doing correction of frames is something like that. (laughs)
I’m overall a very art-centered person. I like a lot of mediums from that field. Aside from drawing, there’s also acting, singing, directing, comics, etc. I really enjoy working on group projects like that, especially as the lead role. I originally wanted to make a breakthrough with some of my personal art, focusing more on artwork that speaks to me. I haven’t abandoned that idea, and I’d like it to evolve into some sort of emotional animated short with powerful visuals like PUPARIA by Shingo Tamagawa. I love those sort of passion projects.

Do you see animation as an evolution of your art that can be used to express emotion?

GrandGuerrilla: I don’t have any strong feelings about animation like that. It’s definitely a powerful tool when combined with music and good direction. I think you should be able to convey all you need with a single strong image. Animation may be just an assistance to that. There are works that rely on stylized animation more than the artwork itself to convey a strong feeling or vibe. My favorite example of this is Mind Game by Masaaki Yuasa.
