Cartoonist Madeline Horwath is well-known for her work in magazines like The New Yorker, The Chicago Reader, and The Los Angeles Times. London-based Horwath frequently uses her art to examine social and personal issues, such as her experiences with dermatillomania (compulsive skin-picking), which she portrays with a mix of humour and reflection.
Her cartoons frequently combine light-hearted, straightforward illustrations with more profound concepts of identity and self-perception. “I promise, I’m nice,” she said jokingly in an interview with Bored Panda. I’m a sweetheart, even though my work seems strange. View Horwath’s most recent creations by scrolling down!

In order to better understand Madeline’s creative process and discover more about her, Bored Panda contacted her once more. We couldn’t help but marvel how she makes her ideas come to life as we looked at her completed comics. We asked her whether she had any habits or practices that help her stay inspired and consistently produce interesting cartoons.
“Maintenance of mental health and exercise are essential,” the artist said. “You have to take care of the brain that makes the art.”

We were interested in how Madeline chooses which experiences to include in her work and which to keep private because her comics frequently have a personal and relevant vibe. The artist revealed that she just follows her thoughts.
“What can I elaborate on? Making a story that can stand alone has been a challenge for me. Never use “and then” to continue a story; instead, use “so,” which will allow you to write it down.”

Creative blocks are a common occurrence for many artists. Madeline revealed that she merely carries on with her life when it occurs to her.
“Fails and down times are normal for great artists. After all, we want people to create art.

We questioned Madeline about the message she wants her comics to convey.
“I want people to watch the world from outside a circle. It’s a terrific chance to learn more about how people communicate if you don’t feel like you belong. If you are on top of a mountain, you cannot see its shape.
