DPH asked Fabrice Sapolsky to answer questions about what triggered his passion and persistence to become the talented artist and creator he is today.

1. Where did you go to art school?

I didn’t! I have a liberal arts background. I majored in Contemporary History. I started drawing at a early age but when I hit 17 years old, I totally lost confidence and turned to writing. Then Graphic design. Then art came back with a vengeance and I started drawing again about two and a half years ago.

2. What got you interested in art?

Comics! What else? What’s funny is that I was born and raise in France where art is everywhere and very accessible. But I only had eyes for American comics.

1. Where did you go to art school?

I majored in Visual Arts and History of Art and Architecture in Brown University, Rhode Island, mostly for general fine art training.

2. What got you interested in art?

I started watching cartoons and 90’s Anime when I was little, and loved to try and re-draw the characters and produce something.
