Do you think your experiences from childhood have influenced your present creative endeavors?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"article__para\"><span class=\"text-bold\">Margaret<\/span>: My childhood was spent in a small town near a beautiful forest, mountains, and a river. We had a lot of family outdoor adventures, so I have more memories and impressions about those trips than about my city life. Definitely, the love of nature greatly affected my work.<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"article__img \" src=\"https:\/\/subsign.co\/public\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Margaret-Scrinkl-Drawings-3.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nMy family promoted a love of craft for me, we made cute wooden and clay things. So, I grew up in a creative family and studied at art school, but I was not a child with incredible talents (just look at my drawings below). It took me a lot of time and effort to find my own way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__para\"><span class=\"text-bold\">Subsign: What did you want to be as a grown up?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"article__para\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span class=\"text-bold\">Margaret<\/span>: I have always admired people who have known their profession since childhood. As a child, I could not imagine my future job. When I was a teenager, I thought it would be nice to be a journalist. I decided to become an artist when I was 23, so yes it was a long way to find myself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Good Night!\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/242461096?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"article__para\"><span class=\"text-bold\">Subsign: How does your workstation look like?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"article__para\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span class=\"text-bold\">Margaret<\/span>: I have a very minimalistic workplace.

When you have a lot of visual images and stories in your head, you want to have a very concise interior, which is like a blank sheet of paper.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"article__para \"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"article__img \" src=\"https:\/\/subsign.co\/public\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Margaret-Scrinkl-Workplace-2.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"article__para\"><span class=\"text-bold\">Subsign: Do you have a work style?

It is better to ask people who follow my work. In any case, I always go forward as an artist.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"article__para\"><span class=\"text-bold\">Subsign: Can you share with us how your creative process works?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"article__para\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span class=\"text-bold\">Margaret<\/span>: When I want to do a new project, I make a cup of coffee, put on my headphones and my brain start to generate ideas. Then I draw a storyboard or sketches, take out the colored paper and cut out all the necessary details.<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"article__img \" src=\"https:\/\/subsign.co\/public\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Margaret-3.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"article__para\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes it lasts a few days. Then I take a lot of pictures and edit them. I try to make the creative process as clear and planned as possible.
