100 Commissions, I decided I wanted to participate and started looking for something worth submitting. I think I was also looking for an excuse to draw another home interior. The inspiration came from a photo of a young woman seated on a chair and holding a bird. “Staying at Home” is a remake of an illustration I did about two years ago. Adobe Illustrator CC is a vector-based graphic design software. Anyway, whatever my style is, I try not to think too much about it and just keep drawing and let my style evolve naturally. I think vector graphics can look a bit cold sometimes, so I’ve been adding some more texture and grain to my illustrations lately and that’s definitely a direction I would like to continue to explore. Sometimes I feel like I don’t really have a style, or that my style lacks consistency. That was the first time someone paid me to do a drawing and it made me realise that it may be possible to make money in illustration. I kept sending my work for a couple of years and eventually, one of my illustrations was picked and got printed on a GAP Kids T-shirt. I never stopped drawing, mainly pencil doodles on sketchbooks, but at some point, I started sending my illustrations to one of those online contests where the winning designs get printed on clothing. Like all children, I started drawing as soon as I was able to hold a pen.
What made you want to start a career in illustration? My love for cartoons all these years later is still very much alive as an adult too. My favourites were Looney Tunes and Tom And Jerry (the old ones, those made in the 1940’s and 50’s), I wouldn’t have missed them for anything. I grew up in a creative fueled atmosphere-I lived in a house where the walls were covered with my mother’s paintings and spent much of my childhood engrossed in watching cartoons on TV. My name is Johan Keslassy, and I am a self-taught freelance illustrator living in France. 100 Commissions campaign earlier in the year he talks us through his creative process, greatest achievements so far and goals for the future.
