Solitude: The Devil’s Worst Weapon
I’m sure you hear it all the time that humans are social animals. We need to spend time together to be happy.
In a world gone wild, those who prefer solitude are seen as eccentric at best and defective at worst, and are often presumed to be suffering from social anxiety, boredom, and become alienated by others.
Loneliness is a negative state of mind, marked by a sense of isolation.
At the moment the whole world lives in isolation and we all have to struggle with this condition. With this new issue, we want to give you a moment of joy.
To forget about being alone for a while.

Xuehka<br />
<strong>In</strong>terview by Nicolas Simoneau<br />
@nicolas_simoneau<br />
Xueh Magrini Troll, aka Xuehka belongs to<br />
the third generation of female artists in her<br />
family. Her mother and her grandmother<br />
are both painters and sculptors, so art was<br />
always really natural to Xuehka. Following<br />
the women of her family, she thoughts<br />
she had to study fine art, where she felt<br />
quite misunderstood and not really free.<br />
Xuehka later found in Illustration the<br />
perfect creative form for her. She loves to<br />
communicate and express really clear ideas<br />
<strong>with</strong> what she does, and in Illustration<br />
Xuehka found the space to do so.<br />
How would you describe your work in your<br />
own words?<br />
Raw, fun, free.<br />
What medium/tools do you feel most<br />
comfortable <strong>with</strong> when creating your work?<br />
I am really old school regarding my tools. I<br />
always have a sketchbook <strong>with</strong> me, where<br />
I allow myself the freedom to do whatever<br />
I feel like. My sketchbooks are like toilet<br />
walls, where I can go from deep existential<br />
thoughts, to the silliest joke or observation...<br />
from there I see what I would like to continue<br />
working on. I love ink pens and markers,<br />
and sometimes I combine that <strong>with</strong> digital<br />
coloring.<br />
Are your illustrations inspired by personal<br />
experiences or of friends/scenarios you<br />
know of?<br />
I get mostly inspired by my own life, but of<br />
course also from stories I hear, situations I<br />
see. Since the beginning of my illustrations,<br />
my own life and experiences have been<br />
the biggest source of inspiration. I feel<br />
like I can really speak about what I have<br />
experienced first hand. Lately I am noticing<br />
how this connection between my art and<br />
my life is becoming stronger, or how one is<br />
flowing more and more into the other. For<br />
example, the fact that I am always looking<br />
for moments to draw makes me live my life<br />
more aware. More aware of the beauty, the<br />
horror, the nonsense, the fun, the absurdity,<br />
the craziness,<br />
I also really enjoy doing collaborations and<br />
commissions, in which I can either combine<br />
my brain <strong>with</strong> other creative brains, or, for<br />
example while working for newspapers, try<br />
