Hello, my name is Nicolas Demersseman (Mikko Umi, Mu), I am 35 years old and I live in Dunkerque. In the 90’s I started out as a graffiti artist, and at the same time studied publicity and screen printing. After finishing my studies I became an independant graphic designer / illustrator.

INTERVIEW / MIKKO UMI

MIKKO UMI

V. Oke kawan kreatif, silahkan perkenalkan diri kamu ke pembaca VECKR magazine.

Hello, nama saya Nicolas Demersseman ( Mikko Umi, Mu ), usia 35 tahun dan saya tinggal di Dunkerque. Tahun 1990 an saya memulai aktivitas kreatif ini sebagai seniman graffiti dan pada saat yang bersamaan saya mempelajari bidang penerbitan dan screen printing. Setelah menyelesaikan pendidikan itu saya kemudian menjadi desainer dan ilustrator lepas.

V. Lalu kapan kamu secara serius mulai menekuni karir di industri ini?

Tahun 2000 saya menghabiskan 2 tahun untuk mengembangkan skill menggunakan program Adobe. Setelah itu pada tahun 2002 barulah saya secara resmi menjadi seorang freelance graphic designer dan ilustrator.

Page 15: VECKR-06

magazine | issue #6 29www.veckr.com l

V. Would you please tell us something about your graphic style and how you developed this style?

I take animals from my imagination and bring them to life, I often use more than one face in the same figure, to illustrate the various aspects of the character. We are all split between the “good” and “evil”, and I like being able to see it at a glance. I also use a lot of eyes in my work, eyes draw in the eyes of the person looking. We live in an era where we can see everything, know everything about everyone with internet and facebook. The voyeurism has become common practice. I think it is interesting to reverse the roles, it is my work that that is looking at you encouraging you to ask different questions.

V. Why do you can interested by your style ?

I could have drawn realistic characters but have never been interested in creating identical reproductions. I enjoy changing things, making them more fun and colourful.

V. Bisa ceritakan sedikit tentang style grafis kamu dan bagaimana kamu mengembangkannya ?

Saya kebanyakan memasukkan unsur binatang ke dalam imajinasi dan membuatnya hidup kembali dalam suasana yang berbeda. Mengangkan unsur baik dan jahat pada setiap hal. Kita hidup pada zaman dimana kita bisa melihat segalanya. Tahu segala sesuatu tentang setiap orang dengan internet dan facebook. Jadi semua orang bisa menjadi inspirasi, mengangkat kisah mereka untuk mengisi salah satu karakter ciptaan saya juga merupakan suatu yang menarik.

V. Mengapa kamu tertarik dengan style ini?

Saya menikmati mengubah hal-hal dari suatu yang realistik, membuat mereka lebih menyenangkan dan berwarna-warni.

V. I see your work on many medium including apparel, animation, prints, etc. What medium do you think is best to your graphic ? and the reason. Do you have any favorite medium?

There are a lot of interesting materials, I especially like walls (spay, adhesives or sticking paper). I like using my own style on a dilapidated wall. People passing by look at it and judge it for themselves. Unlike other supports, the street art work takes away the commercial aspect, and the spectator is only interested in the artwork itself.I also have a great affection for vinyl and wood figurines, I love the idea of transforming them into a real character, making them as life like as possible, but haven’t yet had the opportunity to work on an art toy project.

V. Do you have any fav artist or some one who influence in your graphic style ?

Yes, Tado, Nathan Jurevicius, Bue the Warrior, Grems, Nicolas Barrome, Amandine Urruty, Niark, Seth… And loads more

V. VECKR melihat banyak karya kamu di berbagai media termasuk kaos, poster dan lainnya. Media apa yang paling kamu sukai?

Ada banyak material yang menarik, terutama dinding. Saya suka mengimplementasikan style ini ke bidang dinding tak terpakai di ruang publik. Orang orang melewati dinding ini dan memberi penilaian pada karya karya saya. Saya juga memiliki ketertarikan pada figur vinyl dan kayu, namun belum mendapat kesempatan untuk mengerjakan sebuah proyek art toy.

V. Bisa sebutkan beberapa seniman yang mempengaruhi style kamu?

Tado, Nathan Jurevicius, Bue the Warrior, Nicolas Barrome, Amandine Urruty, Niark, Seth ... dan masih banyak lagi.

V. Where you usually get your idea for your works ?

I get my ideas from things that are important at the moment, climate change, nuclear industry, the economic crisis, the extinction of different animal species and the excessive over-consumption. We live in an era where people are out of work, with no money but having an I phone 5 seems more important than having food on the table. There is no logic in our world any more which is why representing animals with more than one face in a cartoon fashion seems normal to me.

V. Which is your favourite project? and the reason ?

All the projects I decide to accept become my favourite.

V. Dari mana biasanya kamu mendapatkan ide kreatif sebelum berkarya ?

Saya mendapatkan ide dari hal hal penting seperti perubahan iklim, industri nuklir, krisis ekonomi, kepunahan suatu spesies dan lainnya. Kita hidup di masa dimana orang orang tidak memiliki pekerjaan tetapi memiliki iPhone5 dan itu lebih penting daripada memiliki makanan di meja makan. Tidak ada hal yang logis lagi di dunia kita.

V. Apakah kamu memiliki project favorit ?

Semua project dan illustrasi yang saya kerjakan akan selalu menjadi yang favorit.

INTERVIEW / MIKKO UMI

V. The tool and software you use ?

Adobe illustrator, Feutres Poscas, paper, glue, adhesives, scalpel/cutter, paint….

V. What are you doing when you’re not drawing or designing ?

I love walking in the countryside with my camera, and capturing forever everything that catches my eye. I spend a lot of time looking for music and mixing. I love travelling, the fauna, flora and kindness of the people in the south east of Asia. Spending time with my girlfriend and cats are also a great form of inspiration.

V. Alat dan software yang kamu gunakan ?

Adobe Illustrator, Feutres Poscas, kertas, lem, cutter, cat ...

V. Apa yang kamu lakukan ketika tidak sedang menggambar?

Saya suka berjalan jalan bersama kamera dan menangkap hal hal yang menarik dengan lensa. Saya juga menghabiskan banyak waktu dengan musik dan mixing. Saya suka traveling, satwa dan tumbuhan, serta kebaikan orang orang di Asia Tenggara. Menghabiskan waktu bersama kekasih dan kucing ku juga bisa menjadi sesuatu yang menginspirasi.

V. What kind of music do you listen to while you are busy doing your work ?

I love listening to the “oldies” like funk, soul and punk, learning about the past to understand current music. I also like Hip Hop, electronic music, particually Ninja tunes (Kid Koala, Dj Food & Dk, Dj Shadow, Dj Krush…) because they create great sounds for today from past tunes.

V. Do you have some thing(k) that you really hate or love ? Maybe food? animal? clients? or what else.

I hate snakes, David Ghetta, people who are above themselves, aggressive dogs, the nuclear industry, Japon who are killing their whales for make up, the financial markets, and insensitive people…..

I love my girlfriend, my 2 cats, nature, the environment, chips, Thai food, people that smile and travelling

V. Lalu musik apa yang biasa kamu nikmati ?

Saya suka mendengar sesuatu yang “oldies“ seperti funk, soul dan punk, mempelajari sesuatu yang terlewati untuk mengerti musik saat ini. Saya juga menikmati Hip Hop dan musik elektronik.

V. Kamu pasti memiliki hal yang paling kamu benci juga sukai.

Saya sangat membenci ular, David Ghetta, anjing yang agresif, industri nuklir, pembantaian ikan paus untuk dijadikan bahan makeup.Saya mencintai pacar saya, 2 ekor kucing, lingkungan sekitar, makanan Thailand, orang yang tersenyum dan travelling.

V. What are you working right now and what are

INTERVIEW / MIKKO UMI

your plans for the future?

I don’t have any real plans for the future, I d love to spend more time on graffiti and working on a larger scale wall project. I would also like to work with other artists on different projects and learning new techniques.

V. If you could collaborate with your favorite artist, who are you going to choose and why you choose him/her ?

It’s so hard to choose just one artist, I would just love to work with someone who can teach me new techniques with the graffiti and acrylique or somebody to introduce me to the art toy world.

V. Okay, thanks for your time. Any last words ?

Thank you for the interview, colors & peace for the future.

INTERVIEW / MIKKO UMI

V. Projek apa yang sedang kamu kerjakan sekarang dan apa rencanamu untuk masa mendatang?

Saya belum memiliki sesuatu yang pasti untuk rencana ke depan. Saat ini lebih menikmati untuk mengerjakan projek graffiti dan berkolaborasi dengan seniman lain, serta mempelajari teknik baru.

V. Jika kamu bisa memilih berkolaborasi dengan seseorang, siapa yang kamu pilih ?

Sangat sulit untuk memilih hanya 1 seniman. Saya akan sangat senang untuk berkolaborasi dengan seseorang yang dapat mengajari saya teknik baru dalam graffiti atau seseorang yang bisa memperkenalkan saya dengan dunia art toy.

V. Terima kasih untuk waktunya. Ada yang ingin kamu sampaikan lagi?

Terima kasih untuk interviewnya. Sukses selalu.

V. Introduce your self, please? (city, education background, etc)

My name’s Neil Hanvey and I’m a web designer and illustrator from the north of England. I did a little art at school about 20 years ago but I’m pretty much making a lot of this stuff up as I go along!

V. When did you start your carrier in this industry ?

I started taking the art scene a little more serious about 6 years ago but I’ve never really sought out clients. I prefer to work on fun personal projects and wait for people to contact me! It seems lazy but my day job as a web designer pays the bills so I can afford to pick and choose the extra jobs. That way I can be passionate about the things I do. Life’s too short to create crappy banners and adverts, I’d rather be creating quirky characters.

V. Halo, silahkan perkenalkan diri kamu.

Nama saya Neil Hanvey dan saya seorang web desainer dan ilustrator dari Inggris. Saya mengenyam pendidikan sekolah seni sekitar 20 tahun yang lalu.

V. Kapan kamu memulai karirmu di industri kreatif?

Saya mulai dengan serius sekitar 6 tahun yang lalu tapi saya tidak pernah mencari klien. Saya lebih menyukai untuk mengerjakan projek pribadi dan menunggu email atau telepon dari orang yang membutuhkan jasa pekerjaan saya. Ini terdengan sangat malas. Tapi pekerjaan saya sebagai seorang desainer website memberi pemasukan lebih untuk bertahan hidup.I do. Hidup ini terlalu singkat untuk membuat spanduk dan iklan jelek, saya lebih suka menciptakan karakter unik.

V. Would you please tell us something about your graphic style and how you developed this style?

In recent years I almost exclusively work with vectors. I’d describe my style as character driven vector meets crazy collage doodles.

V. Why do you can interested by your style ?

Can you specify what you mean, i think the translation has messed upo the question

V. I see you work on many medium including apparel, animation, prints, etc. What medium do you think is best to your graphic ? and the reason. Do you have any favorite medium?

Definitely clothing. It takes time to setup and print but the end result is definitely worth it.

V. Do you have any fav artist or some one who influence in your graphic style ?

Too many to mention but a selection of people I take inspiration from include Hydro74, SockMonkee, SHAG, Aaron Horkey, Ralph McQuarrie, Jon Burgerman, Konstantin Shalev. I’ll stop now as I could easily go on for at least a couple of pages.

V. Bisa kamu ceritakan sedikit tentang style artwork kamu?

Tahun tahun belakangan saya banyak mengerjakan ilustrasi vector. Saya menyebut style ini dengan karakter desain berbasis vector.

V. VECKR melihat karyamu dalam berbagai media. Media apa yang paling kamu suka untuk proyek kreatif mu?

Saya sangat menykai media pakaian. Ini membutuhkan waktu ekstra dalam pengerjaannya, tetapi hasil akhirnya cukup bernilai layak dengan segala tantangan produksinya.

V. Apakah kamu memiliki seniman idola yang mempengaruhi style karya kamu ?

Terlalu banyak jika harus disebutkan satu persatu di sini. Tapi beberapa diantara mereka adalah Hydro74, SockMonkee, SHAG, Aaron Horkey, Ralph McQuarrie, Jon Burgerman, Konstantin Shalev.

V. Where you usually get your idea for your your works ?

I do a lot of doodling. Probably 90% of the stuff I do is crappy doodles that never make it off the page. I have lots of sketchbooks lying around with half finished ideas. I also watch a lot of films and TV but recently since having a daughter I’ve ended up watching a lot of cartoons and playing with toys.

V. Which is your fav project? and the reason ?

Probably the clothes I printed last year for my daughter. I was doing a screen printing course before she was born. Checkout http://www.behance.net/gallery/Kids-Clothes-Screen-printing/2362638 and http://www.behance.net/gallery/Kids-Clothes-2-Screen-Printing/2562723

V. The tool and software you use ?

The usual things like Photoshop and Illustrator (mainly Illustrator). I use an oversized A4 intuos 3 Wacom when I can be bothered to set it up! I do all my illustrations on 2009 MacBook (not a Pro, just the standard one). When I’m sketching I tend to use finewriters, Sharpies, cheap pencils and whatever I can doodle on.

V. Dari mana sumber inspirasi kamu ?

Saya suka sekedar mencorat coret, barangkali 90% dari hasil corat coret itu hanya tersimpan begitu saja dan tidak pernah saya gunakan. Saya memiliki banyak buku sket yang berisi coretan ide setengah jadi. Saya juga menonton banyak film dan acara TV. Tapi semenjak memiliki seorang anak perempuan, saya menjadi banyak menonton kartun dan bersama mainan anak.

V. Punya proyek favorit ?

Barangkali proyek favorit saya saat ini adalah pakaian anak yang saya kerjakan untuk anak perempuan saya tahun lalu. Saya mengikuti kursus creen printing sebelum kelahirannya.

V. Alat dan software yang kamu gunakan ?

Saya biasa menggunakan Photoshop dan Illustrator. Wacom Intuos 3. Saya mengerjakan semua illustrasi dengan MacBook tahun 2009.

V. What are you doing when you’re not drawing or designing ?Watching tv, listening to music, housework, spending time with my family. Just the usual day to day stuff really.

V. What kind of music do you listen to while you are busy doing your work ?A mixture of stuff, mainly metal, rock, electronica and hip hop. I’ve been listening to iwrestledabearonce recently, sorta like grindcore meets Bjork. Also a lot of DJ Shadow and an English guy called King Charles. He’s like Adam ant mixed with Vampire Weekend.

V. Do you have some thing(k) that you really hate or love ? Maybe food? animal? clients? or what else.I hate people who aren’t willing to tell people what they think. Too many people don’t want to offend so they end up lying.

V. Kegiatan yang kamu lakukan diluar desain dan illustrasi ?

Menonton TV, mendengarkan musik, mengerjakan pekerjaan rumah, menghabiskan waktu bersama keluarga, dan banyak kegiatan sehari hari lainnya.

V. Musik apa yang kamu dengarkan saat bekerja ?

Musik musik beraneka aliran meliputi metal, rock, electronica dan hip hop. DJ Shadow, King Charles dan lainnya.

V. Ada sesuatu yang kamu sangat benci dan sukai?

Saya benci orang yang tidak mau memberitahu orang-orang apa yang mereka pikirkan. Terlalu banyak orang tidak ingin menyinggung perasaan sehingga mereka akhirnya berbohong.

V. What are you working right now and what are your plans for the future?

Currently I’m taking a break from art until the new year. I recently released my first iPhone app (metalapproved.com) which took up a lot of time. I’ve promised myself that I’d relax for a couple of months and then start the new year with some new personal work. I’d like to get back into screen printing, maybe print some fabric and then make something with it rather than straight onto pre-bought clothes.

V. If you could collaborate with your favorite artist, who are you going to choose and why you choose him/her ?

Chris Sandlin aka SockMonkee, he’s got a similar style to mine, he’s obsessed with moustaches like me and I love his work.

V. Okay, thanks for your time. Any last words ?

Draw with passion and it’ll never feel like work.

V. Apa yang sedang kamu kerjakan sekarang dan apa rencana kamu ke depan?

Saat ini saya sedang beristirahat dari segala hal berbau seni. Saya baru saja me-release aplikasi iPhone pertama saya (metalapproved.com) yang menghabiskan cukup banyak waktu dalam pengerjaannya. Saya sudah berjanji pada diri sendiri untuk bersantai selama beberapa bulan dan memulai lagi di awal tahun dep

V. Ada orang yang ingin kamu ajak berkolaborasi untuk proyek kreatif ?

Chris Sandlin aka SockMonkee, dia memiliki style yang sama dengan saya.

V. Terima kasih untuk waktu dan sharing di VECKR magazine. Ada yang ingin kamu sampaikan lagi ?

Menggambarlah dengan passion dan kamu tidak akan terasa seperti sedang bekerja.

I draw for a living, & I am hungry. I am an illustrator and a qualified zombie hunter. You will see my stuff around the net and in some magazines, but don’t hold that against me. I like long walks around my house and my side-kick called Peanut. Not in that order. Ok, maybe in that order.

Batik- vector on adobe illustratorSepanjang tahun 2010 menuju 2011 masyarakat indonesia heboh riuh karena klaim malaysia terhadap batik.Yang sebenarnya batik adalah warisan budaya nenek moyang indonesia dari akulturasi budaya jawa, cina dan belanda.

Save orangutan- vector on adobe illustratorOrangutan adalah salah satu fauna langka yang terdapat di indonesia, khususnya tersebar di pulau sumatera dan kalimantan.Pada tahun 2000-an populasi orangutan di wilayah sumatera di atas 1.000, tetapi pada tahun 2012 ini sudah berada di bawah 200 karena sebagian punah akibat lingkungan mereka di rusak.OrangUtan dalah binatang mamalia yang tidak berbahaya dan juga berperan penting dalam menjaga ekosistem, karena orangutan lah yang melakukan pendistribusian biji-bijian di seluruh kawasan hutan.
