Mack (1960, the Netherlands) is a graphic designer and illustrator from The Netherlands.
Only when children can laugh about it, I think to myself: \'Yes, I did it\'..
That funny bagginess is what I try to catch in a couple of lines.
What I want to show the most is how baggy he stands on the ice and how funny his walk is.
If I draw a penguin, it doesn\'t matter to me that much how pretty he is or how good of a swimmer he is.
In my books I try to teach children something in a funny way, Mack says.
Mack wants to combine that powerful simplification with a subtle sense of humor.
Both create immense power by simplifying shapes.
He gets inspired by African art and the paintings of the Australian aboriginals.
Mack has a primitive way of drawing.
By now Mack is a regular illustrator at this animal park and he is the author of several children\'s books, in which animals often are the lead characters.
These cartoons were later bought by the \'Diergaarde Blijdorp\'-zoo in Rotterdam.
During his education, he made funny and educational cartoons about, among others, penguins and whales.
He was educated at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague.
