Crack Cartoons is a young American artist who hit us up asking us to look at her work, and consider her for a “feature”… Well… We here at ‘Art Whore’ respect the hustle and also dug ole Crack’s work, so we asked her to take part in the ole Art Talk series of interviews so both ourselves, and our dear readers, could find out more about her.

Art Questions

Why the name ‘Crack Cartoons’?

I chose the name Crack cartoons in highschool, I was desperate for an artists name & a tag name ( I wanted to get into graffiti but I never did cause I was scared to go to jail.) And I came up with that name by looking at my cartoons one day & thinking to myself “damn, they kinda look like they’re on drugs.” Hence the name “CRACK Cartoons”.

Favorite other artist(s)?

I like Hayao Miyazaki’s work, animated movies & artists on Instagram.

Worst aspect of the contemporary art-hustle?

Uh, I don’t know, I don’t really focus on the ‘worst parts’.

Best aspect of the contemporary art-hustle?

The best part is knowing that you’re moving towards your dream everyday.

Do you consider what you are making to be art, design, re-hashed crap?

Yes, the drawings/Illustrations/paintings I make are art.

When and why did you first start making art – drawings, paintings, etc?

I started drawing in Kindergarten, it was natural for me, almost like a habit.

Any pivotal artistic moment/influence?

A pivotal moment for me was in middle school when I decided that I wanted to become the best artist & I used to work my ass off drawing everyday lol.

Describe the process of producing your art – dot point all o.k…

My process of producing art isn’t different from any other artist, I pick up a pencil & paper and just start drawing…
