I Draw Colourful Hip Hop And 90’s Inspired Illustrations

As a kid I always liked to draw, had notebooks full of dribbles, creating my own stories influenced by Dragon Ball and Samurai X. Then I drew graffiti with some friends back in my teenage years. I was mostly influenced by Hip hop culture and the 90’s videos full of colours. Only few years ago I started learning more about the illustration world and trying to find my style.

I try to draw daily, but it’s not always possible due to my main job and other activities that I have. I am planning on joining a studio with other artist so that I could give more energy to my art.

My work is inspired by my own ideas, phrases or quotes that I’ve heard or photos that I’ve seen. I always start by drawing with my pencil in my notebook. Later I illustrate the drawings on my computer when I’m listening to music that relaxes me.

I like other artists’ works that have a lot of colours, characters with a lot of details. That can be seen in my works too, but right now and as I’m progressing I started noticing that I’m simplifying my works and going more into graphic works direction.
