THREE QUESTIONS TO JERRY Kramsky
Kramsky Who is Jerry? has materialized at night on a Greek beach in the late 70's. Summoned by the absurd science fiction stories by Robert Sheckley and psychedelic music of Jerry Garcia. Since then, he started writing a lot of stories, mostly for comic books, and, at some point, to publish for the world, with drawings of the exposure Mattotti. Being a predominantly be immaterial needs a secret identity body to press the keys on the computer for him.
Why did you choose to tell stories for children? For imitation. Because of my old elementary school teacher who forced me to read "The Baron in the Trees," the great Italo Calvino, and launched my career as a player. A force of law in unsettled me was the desire to write. With the stories, so called, to find guys you could spy on the lives of the angle of first impression, which can sometimes be strange, perhaps with fewer compromises. The children's stories can be read by well-trained adults, who do not want to pretend to have become hopelessly too large. Moreover, fables and fairy tales, take us forever.
In "The room of shadows evil" have also created the illustrations: the monsters are a subject that you particularly like or was it a coincidence? I find it easier to draw the monster. My art school (ahem ahem) relies heavily on the errors, I'll drive by them and any mistake can enrich the monster ... but in the end, my monsters find them funny and I think they make very little fear. I would like, once, draw and write a story really terrible. What inspires my characters are people too intellectual, phony rules, the leaves blowing in the wind, clouds, sounds and noises, but also of the motes abusive squeezes, sometimes, in my mind.
