Olivier Kugler is a
German illustrator who studied graphic design in Pforzheim. He was born in Simmozheim in the Black Forest, and his influences include French/Belgian bande desinées and Otto Dix Ever since his
childhood he always wanted to create comic books or graphic novels because of
the influence of his favourite artists such as Herge who created Tin tin.
However his father told him to use create his own ideas rather than copying
others. Later on in his life he did join the Navy but decided to go back to
illustrating since he found the Navy boring. His work is mainly based on real life photos
he has taken while on his travels but also incorporates elements of comic book
to make them his own rather than someone else’s style.
