Paul Waak is a Berlin-based illustrator, and graduated from the well renowned Universität der Künste (UdK) in 2014. Paul’s creations are bizarre and dark-sided, not really children-friendly. He isn’t in denial about the complexity and diversity of our reality and wants to show us the counterpart of our perfect beauty, perfect body saturated world. Dark tones, deformed bodies, these alternative humanoids are not what we would want to see on a daily basis, nevertheless they are important to our maturing, awareness and open-mindness. “VERTEX MAXIMUS”, his upcoming book, is a constructed like a children’s ABC-book. Each letter represent a word, and each word illustrated by a dark humor comic book style story composition, directly out of Paul’s unique and twisted mind. Do not miss it!
