Buzzer illustrator interview: Bashar Sawalha
Buzzer illustrator interview: Bashar Sawalha
Here’s some light and humorous reading. As with most of our illustrators of the Buzzer newsletter, I had the opportunity to ask Bashar Sawalha, illustrator of our February issue, a few questions.
I really like Bashar’s illustration and I hope you do to. Here’s a short q and a with Mr. Sawalha.
How would you describe yourself?
I am a writer, comic artist and animator that loves the challenges of aiming for the stars! I have been on the never ending journey of trying to produce my animated television show that will entertain, shock and touch the hearts of people around the world
What’s your favourite thing to illustrate?
I love character interaction! Although it might seem that I only love the horrors in my comic book and web series “Inquest of Missing Time,” it is the comedic play between the characters that drives me.
How did you come up with your illustration?
Being on the SkyTrain, your eyes always wonder, skimming through the wild colours of the passengers you suddenly stumble, the accidental eye contact has swept you down under, falling in love again is such splendor
Do you take transit? If so, what do you like about it?
I love being on SkyTrain underground because its one of the only places I am free from mobile communication. It forces me to interact with the people around me.
What does the future hold for you?
Many fine steaks, mass control of television and a star on the shiny dirty sidewalks of Hollywood Boulevard…
I wanna be there when you get that star!
