San Francisco-based artist Koak uses her work as a form of communication, a way to connect with people. “Creating comics or paintings and sharing those with others feels like the most natural way to have a voice,” she explains. Koak’s work is influenced heavily by cartoon imagery and old comics which stems from her childhood in the 80s and 90s. “I grew up around a myriad of brilliant illustrative storytellers. I think this imagery has always appealed to me because there’s a visceral absurdity in it that ties into the message I’m trying to convey,” says the artist. “Cartoons do a brilliant job of connecting us to inanimate visual images as if they were ourselves – in part they do this through their own hyper-stylised form of visual language.”
