My name is
Thit Bitsch.
A good name that has served me well and it’s easy to remember. I’m a Danish girl. 21 years old and graduating from Visual HF this summer. My teacher's has been Iben Lindebjerg and Monty and many others, Over all they have taught me to look through their eyes and steal the way of looking so I can use it in my own work. In that way I also learned how to learn. The 3 years on Visual HF has been some of the best in my life.
I'm applying for graphic storytelling.
I want to be exposed to new styles of drawing that I would never naturally draw myself. I see it as an exciting challenge to take a genre I don’t like that much, for example “manga”, and process it while being true to myself and the genre, and end up with a new kind of product. If you look long enough, or at in the right way, I’m positive that everything can be beautiful.
The reason I’m creating is because I miss the product I’m creating in the world. An example could be; I really like the way Moebius draw, but I don’t like his stories and I think they contain too much text. Often his pages are overstimulating. But maybe if we take the way Moebius draws and mix him with a simple style like the one in Samurai Jack. Then something new would appear. I’m sampling already existing material to get the product I want to watch, hear or read. I work in as many medias as possible so I, for example, can translate the feeling in a rap to a drawing, or the other way around. Since I was a kid my big heroes were Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett (the people behind Gorillaz). They opened my mind for mixing the medias.
The medias I’m working with is: Music, animation, writing (poems, songs, rap, short stories), installation and performance art (with Carte Blanche and my own art), dancing, sewing, gastronomy, graffiti, everything visual like collage, linocut, painting, comics, and so on. ( Currently I make the comics for a new magazine in Århus called "Proces"). And then drawing, of course. Drawing is my main medium and that’s why 4 years of this education would not bother me at all. Also I’m very interested in learning new ways in communicating visually.
I prefer working analog, but I know the basics of Photoshop, illustrator, dragonframe and tvpaint.
The way to finance my education in graphic storytelling would be by SU loan.
I think in the future comics will be more like Emily Carrolls' comics. Where gifs are a part of the reading experience. I think the medias will mix more like we see it in the genres of music right now. My future ambitions will be to help the mixing of the medias, by following new needs to express in new ways. I like to think at myself as an auteur and comics is a really good platform for me to put out my ideas. Also beautiful drawings are sacred to me. I need to have the knowledge G.S. provides.
I have travel experience and I love to travel. I'm super productive when I travel because I don't own a camera so I draw everything I see.
My 4 favorite works are Habibi by Craig Thompson, By This Shall You Know Him by Jesse Jacobs, Just Kids by Patti Smith and the album Plastic Beach by Gorillaz (with all the visual art that goes with it).
I love Habibi because while you read it you feel as if you are there in the world that he have based on Morocco. He constantly reveals new places and it is extremely beautiful and detailed. I can read it over and over again.
By This Shall You Know Him is the perfect comic. It shows the creation of the world with a strange logic that I find very modern. The style is simple, yet complex and cool.
Just kids is kind of my "bible". Patti is a master of language and I often steal and adopt ways of looking at the world, or ways of describing it, from her. Her memories on paper stands so clear and if there is days where I do not feel inspired I often read a little in Just Kids and remember that life is beautiful and art is sacred.
Plastic Beach is also kind of bibleish to me. Jamie Hewlett is my god and I love the way he connects the visual aspect with music and create a deep universe. His style is amazing and drags inspiration from a lot of cultural treasures. For example old movies from the 70.
It is difficult to talk about least favorite works because there is always something good no matter how bad something is. And if I do not like something I just forget it. The worst art I can think of right now is Poul Pava.
