Daniel Clowes stuck out to me because he seemed to have a troubled past. His artwork allowed him to escape and express his emotions that he feels. Through his depression he drew and you can sense the loneliness and anger he felt and there is still a mystery of who are you and what is your story, it leaves me with wanting to know more about him.
Francisco Goya- I really appreciated his work, I truly value the dark rawness of his drawings. He captured real life and the graphic brutality of war and evil in this world.
Sylvian Chomet- I really enjoyed his style of drawing it was so unique and he mentions how he didn’t make it for children he made it for adults. The amount of time it took to make a film shows his dedication and passion for his work. This was such a remarkable time where drawings were literally brought to life through film.
