Olivier Kugler, was born in Germany in 1970, he served in the military and upon completion of his period with the forces he became a student of graphic design in Pforzheim in Germany and worked as a designer in Karlsruhe for a few years he soon got terribly bored with it and ended up receiving a scholarship from the German Academic Exchange Service to do a masters degree in illustration at the School of Visual Arts in New York.
I like Kugler's work because it is reality but it seems realistic in an unusual way, for example the block colours of clothing and skin makes it pleasant to look at and helps you to identify what it is that but you know that in reality this would not occur and this is one of the reasons that his work intrigues me.
I also like how Kugler trys to include as much detail as possible but still limits himself to using simple and minimum amounts of lines. When drawing a roof he only puts small clusters of rectangles on the surface that was drawn in as the roof and this lets us identify that it is tiled as shown on the image on the right hand side of this paragraph, this to me is very effective and just adds to the quality of his work.
