Lars Krantz: The lack of words make it possible to interpret the pictures as you please, something I don't see as a bad thing. But if you want a hint, it's a simple story about how evil keeps repeating itself over and over.What's your drawing history? You went to Comics College in Malmö, right?
When I was around seven, I started to trace from a magazine called MASK. I did it on greaseproof paper. When I got a little older, a friend of mine started to write a comic manuscript about a frogman called Larse Ono, which I illustrated. At 20 I went to art school and totally changed direction. I started to paint with oil instead. I thought about doing comics, but I believed you had to know computers to be able to do comics. After art school I was lost as to what to do next, and then a relationship ended. It all changed when an old friend asked me to illustrate his manuscript. The drawings turned out pretty shit, but I moved to Malmö and applied to comics school. And that's how it started.And now you've just published a book.
It took about a year to finish the book, and it feels great to finally have something published. I feel like I threw away a lot of years doing nothing. I have to be really productive to compensate.
