Against the rules

Let’s color the world! An interview with Stefanie Rittler

Stefanie Ritter is a Berlin based designer. She is passionate about photography, graphics and illustration. It was love at first sight when we discovered her illustrations. There is so much life in Rittler’s drawing, we took the chance to seat down and discuss her work.

KALTBLUT: HI Stefanie! How did you first came to illustration?
Stefanie:
Since my childhood I was drawing with pencil and a good tape all day long. Still like to do this!

KALTBLUT: Your illustrations are so much fun. What inspired you the most?
Stefanie: I absorb every detail around me. Everyday situation. Traveling, nature and art are really inspiring to me!

KALTLBUT: I have the feeling there is a certain distance between the technic you use, that remind me of my childhood, and the subject of your illustrations, like the human centipede for example…
Stefanie: I guess, I see and express the beauty of the world with my childish eyes and explain certain moments of life with my adult eyes and feelings.

KALTBLUT: What it is about coloured pencil you like so much?
Stefanie:
The colour ! I love colours! Colours make me happy!

KALTBLUT: What is the message you want to get cross to viewers of your work ?
Stefanie: think before buying. requestion things. Don’t take everything for granted. See things different. Try different ways. Don’t follow to much rules. Be a child. Be silly. Lough and cry. Be emotional. And stop fucking up the planet!

KALTBLUT: What is your ultimate goal?
Stefanie: color up the world and make people think twice!

KALTBLUT: What are you working on the moment?
Stefanie: small drawings for my own t-shirt collection! Of course colourful!
