I think its cool.
Don’t test my imagination. It wont have limitation.
I’ve always found imagination and a unique perspective of life events to be the ultimate source of expression. This has taken me to express myself through illustration and this has been permanent state of being from the minute I was handed a pen.
How long have I been illustrating?
All of my life, I have a stubborn sense of curiosity and creativity. I had to make life more interesting and this is how illustration brings to life even the most unusual concepts.
What is my style?
My style in a mix of different styles! Realism with a mix of sketch characters and often waiting to mix styles together and binding these concepts together. The love for experimentation and the border of what I can apply myself to is multifunctional to my illustration. ( I’m a Leo, I can do it all)
What is the inspiration to your illustrations?
I had difficulty in being understood, always with the fairies as a kid and with great difficulty comes great creativity. The natural weird and wonderful corners of my personality was never truly approved of, therefore they showed through my illustrations. This is where they can be met with pure innovation and unlimited space without being questioned.
“Illustration is a place I turn to when the world around me lacks colour, when the ideas I have can be the main character. Much of my work is hidden behind questionable humour and things claimed to be inappropriate conversations at dinner parties.”
Artists that rule:
-McBESS - illustration king on his reflection of his own music and design, bond between detail, story telling and an aesthetic that exceeds expectations.
- Juan Manuel -digital world and identify - opened a window into the spectrum of human connection.

Favourite thing to sketch — EYES! using eyes and multiple Portraits and using abstraction and collage to build in typography, photography and mixed media practises. This is done with styles between realism and illustration.

“For breakfast we have room 1408”.
I Remember well being sneaked into adult horror films at the age of 12 years with my dad. Resident evil is an unusual but sweet memory I share with him. I began these sketches at the very growth of my BA and grew fondly attached the the question and power that cinema has taken in telling a a story. These concepts are a reflection of this passion.
Today I am hooked to classic films such as the exorcist and the Lorraine and Warren cases. The horror and psychology behind cinematic art such as the shining can be telling us a story and embeds itself in this art form.
I did just that with this source of inspiration, all great ideas need to be felt.
“Art needs to be like the Bermuda Triangle, no one has really seen it”.
I pride myself on the ability to compose and creative visual narratives and concepts that truly destroy’s the notion of limitation. I always aim to push ideas into the Bermuda Triangle of the creative possibilities, as no one has ever really seen it. I think diversity and adaptability to styles, concepts and the power to bring diversity to any working opportunity in crucial.
The creative industry has seen almost everything, to succeed in an ever developing industry. You need to turn up with ideas that makes them believe that not all has been discovered. Curiosity can be your best friend and something I practise unconditionally.
