\nThrough his unique grotesque-looking characters inspired by daily humours happenings, Frank H\u00f6hne has become one of Germany\u2019s most celebrated illustrators. His work which has a very idiosyncratic aesthetic and free style has been published in a number of newspapers, books and magazines such as Vice. Based in Berlin, Frank has an analytical eye for the ludicrous of day-to-day life, from Segways to horizontal bikes, which he then later sketches. Yet he approaches his work and his life with a healthy dose of facetiousness, showing as much humour in person as his drawings do. We spoke to the artist and illustrator about the things in his Berlin life he finds funny, how he works with technology and what’s it like to draw on a HUAWEI MediaPad M2.<\/a>

\nWhat was the last funny thing you drew?
\n<\/strong>Recently I drew a horizontal bike, which I find really weird. I saw this guy who was on one of them and was cycling on the road along the traffic. And then this driver who almost drove into the bike started shouting at him and they had an argument. It was ridiculous and it made me think of who the real victim was because the by riding one of those bikes you really out yourself and the people around you in danger.
\nHow do you work with new technologies and the pad?
\n<\/strong>I work mainly with analog so I scan a lot of stuff and put them into layers in Photoshop. Most of my drawings are analog and I also have like a graphic tablet that I use just to erase details from the drawings and to do collages. Using the\u00a0HUAWEI MediaPad M2 was actually the first time I drew something digitally, and that’s really nice because it’s easy to use. I\u2019m happy about it because I can easily sketch something anytime.
\nDo you think you could work nowadays without technology?
\n<\/strong>No. Maybe if I worked for just books, but since I work for editorials, which need everything to be done quickly, I wouldn\u2019t survive a week without technology. A graphic tablet helps a lot because it eases the process of drawing, especially time-wise.
\nWhat tips would you like to give us?<\/strong> \nI know I just said I couldn’t\u00a0 work without computers but on that note: please stay human!

\nGiven his\u00a0spontaneity and his mind full of ideas, iGNANT featured him in their Illustrated Interview series, in which artists respond to questions with drawings. Drawing his answers on HUAWEI MediaPad M2<\/a>, an elegant tablet that redefines the possibilities of design, functionality and user experience, the artist tells more about his life and illustration in the age of ever evolving technology.
