recognized across the globe. I still
have a long way to go when it comes
to “evolving” my craft and that’s
what I am more excited about!
KALTBLUT: What kind of
things scare you the most? What
do you fear?
Kerby: Many things actually. I’m
afraid of heights, paranormal activity
and losing my beloved pens!
KALTBLUT: If you would make
an illustration of yourself, what
would it look like? What kind of
things would it involve?
Kerby: Hmm.. tough question. But
I think I’ll just include things I love
and best represent me. It can be so
random without any art direction
at all. Just like my other drawings,
I want it to be just plainly spontaneous
leaving the viewer to figure
out the stories behind them.
KALTBLUT: You often include
animals in your work, can you
tell us a little about it? What do
they symbolize?
Kerby: They don’t symbolize
anything at all. I just love to explore
the wild and natural elements
as a major theme of the artwork.
Animals are good subjects when you
want to reach a wide audience, appealing
to kids, adults, art professionals,
tattoo artists, nature lovers,
etc.
KALTBLUT: Each one of your
illustrations seems to be a whole
world. If you could bring one to
life, which one would it be and
why?
Kerby: It would be the doodle called
“CROW-DED”. It might sound
weird but I love crows!
KALTBLUT: There is a lot of
black and white in your work.
What makes you choose black
and white over colour?
Kerby: I just don’t have the patience
to colour in my work.
KALTBLUT: Where do you see
yourself in 10 years from now?
Kerby: Still doing what I love. Travelling
the world for more inspiration.
And teaching kids about my
art.
