Kraffhics

Kraffics is an artist collective that does all kinds of design and art work. This includes some really bright, edgy collages. I'm wondering if they work on them collaboratively, because the style makes very smooth transition from piece to piece. I've included some of their design work as well, because I feel it belongs in this showcase. Excellent team work!

Name (Real or Screename): Kraffhics

Location (Where are you from?): Leeds, UK

Q: Describe your work in 10 words or less.
A: Colourful, bright, we give every piece life.

Q: What do you like to work with (magazines, photographs, vintage)? Be specific!
A: Vintage. I go to the local charity shop and find lovely books, I can't give too much away. But go to your local charity shop you will find your next piece in there.

Q: How long have you been creating collages and what made you start?
A: Been doing collages for about year. We used to do miniature scale sets but I feel you can really open your mind to collages.

Q: Are you solely an artist, or do you work in another profession?
A: We do what we feel is best. If its a strong idea we go with it, it doesn't have to be a collage.


Q: Do you have any formal art training?
A: No, the Kraffhics quote is "You don't need a piece of paper to tell you you're an artist." We respect all new artists who are just going straight into the game.

Q: Explain your favourite techniques.
A: Cut and stick. Not thinking too much into the piece.

Q: Describe your favourite piece ever created.
A: There are so many, but the one I like is maybe the Garry Glitter piece. So easy and it says so much.

Q: What other artists do you admire?
A: The people we work with, Ian Stevenson, Brecht Vandenbroucke, Sergei Sviatchenko, and many others but they are the main folk. :)

Thanks Kraffhics!
