Laura Endy “For this illustration, I wanted to talk about the new movement in the comic field that has appeared recently. I found my own way of making comics after discovering the new alternative comic scene, so this is also a new perspective for me.” -Laura Endy Name Laura Endy Age 21 What is your current location?
What pieces, projects, or collaborations are you currently working on? I’m currently drawing some new comics and I’m also making a poster for a yearly music and illustration anthology called Hits With Tits! I feel so happy about that. Is there any music you like to listen to while working?
Where are you from?
Sure! I’m a very big fan of Gamma Ray and Woodland, but I also listen to other different stuff like Wire or even Tommy Cash when I’m on the mood. It depends on what I’m drawing, though. I have a specific playlist for each comic.
I’m from Les Franqueses, a town near Barcelona.
Where do you like to work?
What is your current occupation?
I like working in the living room, with the TV on. I’m not sure why, but I don’t like working in silence.
Barcelona
I’m studying Fine Arts at the University of Barcelona. What people, books, films, (etc…) inspire you the most? A lot! It’s hard to decide who inspires me the most, but I really love the work of HTML Flowers and Aisha Franz among many, many others.Fashion trends also inspire me a lot, more than books or films. I like bright and bold clothing, and I really enjoy dressing my characters. What materials do you like to work with? I usually work with color pencils because you can easily mix them and I feel they are more flexible than other techniques. I’ve used watercolors and copics before, but color pencils are the material that I feel more comfortable working with.
What is one of your earliest memories of making art? I had a big blackboard when I was a child and I spent a lot of time drawing there. Also, my parents covered my desk with huge sheets of paper so I could draw throughout all the desk, and that was cool. What do you hope to accomplish with your work? I would like to publish a big comic someday, with a lot of pages and a lot of colour. Well, I would actually like to publish a lot of big comics, because this is what I enjoy the most!
