Besides his funky style of illustrators and comics, we found out he is also a humorous man, good cooker, and .Want to know more? Let's welcome BrenB from Ireland! www.brenb.net 16 Designers' Circle | Design & Life minizine 17 Hi Bren! Please introduce yourself! BRENB was born in 1974 at a house called "Mum & Dad's" in Dublin, Ireland. As a boy he watched too much TV. But, as a girl he did write little plays which to be fair to him was pretty creative. Then again he did act out these plays by himself in the nearby park. Which at the very least has probably led to him to talking about himself in the third person. He continues to work in solitude as an illustrator and cartoonist. I am very enjoyed your funky style illustration with hand written typography. Is your style inspired or influenced by anyone, anything? Glad you enjoyed them. Yeah I love hand-drawn type. As a cartoonist I’ve always been fascinated by the combination of words and pictures. Artists like Dave McKean, Henry Darger & Basquiat are never far from my mind. I’m a huge fan of Nate Williams as well. I like making it look like the computer never came near it even though it always does. 18 Designers' Circle | Design & Life minizine Are you one of the founders of Illustrators Guild of Ireland (IGI)? Tell us a little bit about IGI. No, I’m not one of the founders although I am a director at the moment. It’s a small voluntary organi- sation that started out to promote Illustration in Ire- land. At present we have 50 full time members, run exhibitions, small book projects and host artists talks. What is the most interesting project you've done? Being involved in the recent VADER PROJECT was such a thrill. 25 European artists were asked to cus- tomize a replica Darth Vader helmet that would then be exhibited in London at the 30th anniversary STAR WARS exhibiton. Ummm, I recently completed a large scale series of illustrations to accompany Ireland’s entry for the Venice Biennale for Architecture. Doing the cover for the birthday issue of CANDY magazine was pretty sweet too but Vader rocks! Where do you live? Any suggested place in the city if we are visiting? I live in the center of Dublin. I’d recommend a visit to the Chester Beatty Library, amazing collection of rare books and a really nice cafe for lunch, my treat! . cafe for lunch, my treat! 20 Designers' Circle | Design & Life minizine 21 22 Designers' Circle | Design & Life minizine 23 Do you cook?.
