Agatha Kronberg - Modern Artist
Welcome to my page!
My name is Jack Crooked Beak, but I occasionally publish independent comics under other monikers (Agatha Kronberg is not one of them- Wix just decided I look like an Agatha, I suppose). I'm an indigenous creator from The Middle Of Nowhere in the Midwest. I've been drawing and telling stories for longer than I could speak, and this website allows me to compartmentalize what I have made that shows what I love most about both.
Mark Russell once theorized that Art is you telling the world how it's killing you, and Ingmar Bergman attested that he could live in his art, but not in his life. Art is the most important thing we as a species have created, whether taking the form of music, stories, structures or drawings. This nebulae that captures and re-interprets every emotion, all we have feared, loved, hated and wished for is something I think worth dedicating the brief blink of human awareness we have to.
While what a big part of what I do can be considered silly (a charge no jury could acquit me of), I find simplistic designs that tread into the Territory Of The Wacky And The Absurd has a way of connecting with wider swaths of people from different walks of life.
Growing up I loved Ren and Stimpy, Looney Tunes, Calvin and Hobbes and many other shows designed by people who saw the world and reported what they saw in a way I think more people should. I absolutely love drawing animals, creatures and monsters, as well as anything spooky!
In my personal time, which is what your art is before it becomes art, I enjoy reading anything historical or horror-related, as well as spending time traveling, most any kind of music, or spending time in nature. I often think that all these contribute to my work.
I greatly enjoy comics, and have had a reverence for the medium since childhood. I would jump at the opportunity to help you make one come to life, as well as illustrations for a book in general - children's or otherwise! I primarily use Procreate for digital art, but no AI. If you think we could make something memorable together, no matter what form, let me know day or night!
