Bored Panda had the chance to ask the illustrator a few new questions and learn more about his creative process. We were curious about how Chaz usually begins when creating his humorous charts and diagrams. The artist shared with us: “Generally I begin by staring out the the window for a bit, then I forget what I was doing, make a coffee, decide to go for a walk, get distracted and then send myself a reminder to ‘draw a comic later’ - which sometimes happens.”

When asked about the most challenging part of translating humor into a single sketch or chart, the illustrator quickly responded that his biggest struggle is drawing... a car! Hutton explained: “I am TERRIBLE at cars. They all end up looking like a smashed-up old Volvo drawn by a 6-year-old. If I’ve got an idea for a comic that needs a car, I usually just have to let it go.”

We wanted to know which illustration or series really resonated with Chaz’s audience. The artist shared with us: “The latest one is probably my Tote Bag series which seemed to connect with a lot of people!”

Lastly, when asked how he manages to stay inspired to keep drawing and sharing, given that humor and creativity require so much energy and originality, the illustrator responded: “Honestly? I don’t really. Being uninspired is like 90% of the time spent in front of a piece of paper. So to stay inspired is a frankly outrageous proposal.”
