GIANT ARTISTS' SUMMER INTERN - INTERVIEW - DAVID CALDERLEY

Another Giant Artists' interview from our summer intern, Sarah Wasko: An early interest in comics has led Giant's David Calderley to his career in illustration and design. In the second installment of my quickie interviews, we learn a little about David's inspirations, aspirations, and unfortunate hair-spirations. Why are you drawn to illustration and design? I used to love illustration and design work as a kid, firstly with British comics then got hooked on line illustration and typography to complete the picture. Then moving on to make my own cassette tape artworks and fake movie posters!?… Six years in art schools made it personal. What is your favorite/most memorable illustration of yours and/or of somebody else's? Alan Aldridge: Chelsea Girls. Love the collage, mixed media and the overall idea together with killer type. What did you think you were going to be when you “grew up”? Astronaut... who liked to draw. One piece of advice you would give to somebody getting into the biz? Try to be always tolerant, the true test of your mettle. Worst haircut you’ve ever had? A very unfortunate ‘Hitler’esque doo.
