We continued the interview with Domian, who explained how his art style evolved over the years.

After a while, I added some text to the works and started evolving more towards making cartoons. Today, making cartoons is my biggest project, and creating art and prints, I don’t do that often anymore.

Artists I look up to are David Shrigley, Joan Cornella, Piet Parra…”

We have been familiar with Domian’s work since 2021, and he consistently creates quality content. We asked the artist to share a specific challenge or instance where he struggled to conceptualize an idea and how he overcame that challenge.“I’m kind of lazy as an illustrator, so it happens a lot. If I have an image or idea in mind and within 15 minutes the result fails to resemble the idea, I give up most of the time.My computer is filled with thousands of ideas and started illustrations that I never finished (and probably never will),” wrote Domian.

Besides cartooning, Domian also has a full-time job and runs a webshop. Juggling multiple projects can be exhausting, so we asked Domian to tell us how he strikes a balance between all his activities and ensuring that he has time for personal rest and creative rejuvenation.“The biggest change for me lately is to stop my webshop. I work full-time next to drawing and owning my own gallery and webshop, and it didn’t feel right anymore.Instead of creating, I spend way too much time on shipping prints, handling complaints and delays, … I hope this will give me the breathing room to start rethinking what I’ve been doing for the last few years and start having fun again,” shared Domian.

We were also curious to learn about which cartoon, in the artist’s opinion, had a significant impact in raising awareness or sparking meaningful dialogue about a specific problem in today’s society.

“I recently made one about a dead kid and people questioning his race before deciding if they should care or not. This was a complaint about media picking sides in any conflict and people being blind to innocent victims all around the world if they’re part of ‘the bad guys.’

I’m super worried about how the next years will pass if we keep on sharing extreme thoughts and ideas on how we should all live together on this tiny planet.”

And lastly, Domien added: “Brush your teeth three times a day and floss. They don’t grow back.”
