. Art is said to heal, but it does so in our spirit. For viruses, we need much more. . As we strongly believe that if everybody #stayshome helps, here comes our contribution to encourage you to do so: As many people ask us about what our influences are, we’ll share with you what and who inspire us: writers, designers, painters, books, cinematographers… We hope this triggers your curiosity to know more and do some extra research. . Please, #staysafe, #stayathome, reduce your stress and increase your curiosity. Let curiosity guide you in these difficult times. . Reality is merely an illusion. The “external world” and our “inner world” sometimes does not match. But this mismatch is not an obstacle, it is the tool to create new worlds and new narratives. As Lewis Carroll states: “Imagination is the only weapon in the war against reality.” We are listing on this post the comic and animator artists who have deeply changed the way we interpret our reality. They have been able to create entire worlds which are totally different to the ones where we live but at the same time coherent and complete in themselves. If you have the opportunity do not miss them. After knowing their work you will not see your “real” world with the same eyes. . “To create is to live twice”. Albert Camus . Instagram limitation (10 images and 2000 characters does not let us to explain you much more about these creators. We will post here one of their movies or comic work, but do not miss any of them!)
