3DTotal:
Combining cuteness with an evil nature on very cute and simple cartoon characters seems to play a very important part in your images. How do you go abot planning your drawings?
Daniela: I have a lot of fun creating bizarre situations, this evil-cute-contrast seems very suited to me.
Well, I can’t really describe a general way how I approach my drawings. It always depends on
the topic, inspiration or situation.
   
3DTotal: What or who are your inspirations for this subject?
Daniela: You see the ideas for these things come very spontaneously most of the time. I stroll around, look at people and wonder “what if…” suddenly I burst out laughing and ‘bang!’ - There’s the idea. Then I sit down at the computer, make a basic sketch, draw clear outlines and paint them up.

3DTotal: What are you plans for your future career?
Daniela: Oh boy, that’s by far the most difficult question to answer! I haven’t a clue! I sure want to stick to the graphic field for the rest of my life but if that will be my job for just as long, I really can’t say. I do often think about taking up studies, but not necessarily to make a living out of it, rather for self-realisation and out of a thirst for knowledge. I’ve always thought there’s so much to know and wanted to quench that thirst. But since I’ve been working for 3 years, going to university would be a financial step backwards now. I’ll probably think about it for some more time and save up some
   
 
money, before I make up my mind. Maybe I’ll get that supreme job offer… Who knows?!

3DTotal: Thanks for your time Daniela! It has been very great talking with you!
